[Verse]
F A# F A#
On a fine summer's morning as we lay at the quay
F Gm A# C
The holds were filled high with the treasures of the sea
F A# F A#
So that they could be transported by men such as we
F Gm7 C F C C/D
To homeland and for Queen
[Verse]
C/E F A# F A#
When the loading was done, we hoisted full sail
F Gm A# C C/D
Prayed for good winds to guide us and deliverance from gales
C/E F A# F A#
And the thoughts of the crew turned to home and strong ale
F C A#
As we cast off the ropes and set sail
[Chorus]
C F A#
Fight for honour and for praise
C F
Sailed the sea throughout the days
C/E Dm
In cold ground I'll never lay
A# C Dm A# C Dm
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
F A# F A#
Thirty days out to sea and the weather was fine
F Gm A# C
The wind that we'd prayed for and making good time
F A# F A#
The honour of first home was soon to be mine
F Gm7 C F C
To homeland and to Queen
[Verse]
F A# F A#
But the night became stormy and the wind changed our course
F Gm A# C
D gale was a-blowing and the wind gathered force
F A# F A#
And I wondered if ever we'd reach our home port
F C/E A#
Or if we'd all be lost in the storm
[Chorus]
C F A#
Fight for honour and for praise
C F
Sailed the sea throughout the days
C/E Dm
In cold ground I'll never lay
A# C Dm A# C Dm
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
F A# F A#
Well, the waves washed the deck, in the wind we were locked
F Gm A# C
I fought with the wheel to stay clear of the rocks
F A# F A#
But the fighting is in vain, in the storm we were lost
F Gm7 C F C
And our prayers blew away on the wind
[Verse]
F A# F A#
Well, I coughed and I choked and I tasted the sea
F Gm A# C
I looked over the sands, there was no one but me
F A# F A#
And I knew that the might of the sea had finished me
F C/E A#
And I wished that I'd drowned in the storm
[Chorus]
C F A#
Fight for honour and for praise
C F
Sailed the sea throughout the days
C/E Dm
In cold ground I'll never lay
A# C Dm
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
F A# F A#
And I've lived with the thought for the rest of m' days
F Gm A# C
That I'd given the lives of the crew just to pay
F A# F A#
In search of the garlands of honour and praise
F C A#
And I wish that I'd drowned in the storm
[Chorus]
C F A#
Fight for honour and for praise
C F
Sailed the sea throughout the days
C/E Dm
In cold ground I'll never lay
A# C Dm
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Chorus]
C F A#
Fight for honour and for praise
C F
Sailed the sea throughout the days
C/E Dm
In cold ground I'll never lay
A# C Dm A# C Dm
I'd rather die on the ocean
