[Verse]
E A E A
On a fine summer's morning as we lay at the quay
E F#m A B
The holds were filled high with the treasures of the sea
E A E A
So that they could be transported by men such as we
E F#m7 B E B B/C#
To homeland and for Queen
[Verse]
B/D# E A E A
When the loading was done, we hoisted full sail
E F#m A B B/C#
Prayed for good winds to guide us and deliverance from gales
B/D# E A E A
And the thoughts of the crew turned to home and strong ale
E B A
As we cast off the ropes and set sail
[Chorus]
B E A
Fight for honour and for praise
B E
Sailed the sea throughout the days
B/D# C#m
In cold ground I'll never lay
A B C#m A B C#m
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
E A E A
Thirty days out to sea and the weather was fine
E F#m A B
The wind that we'd prayed for and making good time
E A E A
The honour of first home was soon to be mine
E F#m7 B E B
To homeland and to Queen
[Verse]
E A E A
But the night became stormy and the wind changed our course
E F#m A B
C# gale was a-blowing and the wind gathered force
E A E A
And I wondered if ever we'd reach our home port
E B/D# A
Or if we'd all be lost in the storm
[Chorus]
B E A
Fight for honour and for praise
B E
Sailed the sea throughout the days
B/D# C#m
In cold ground I'll never lay
A B C#m A B C#m
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
E A E A
Well, the waves washed the deck, in the wind we were locked
E F#m A B
I fought with the wheel to stay clear of the rocks
E A E A
But the fighting is in vain, in the storm we were lost
E F#m7 B E B
And our prayers blew away on the wind
[Verse]
E A E A
Well, I coughed and I choked and I tasted the sea
E F#m A B
I looked over the sands, there was no one but me
E A E A
And I knew that the might of the sea had finished me
E B/D# A
And I wished that I'd drowned in the storm
[Chorus]
B E A
Fight for honour and for praise
B E
Sailed the sea throughout the days
B/D# C#m
In cold ground I'll never lay
A B C#m
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Verse]
E A E A
And I've lived with the thought for the rest of m' days
E F#m A B
That I'd given the lives of the crew just to pay
E A E A
In search of the garlands of honour and praise
E B A
And I wish that I'd drowned in the storm
[Chorus]
B E A
Fight for honour and for praise
B E
Sailed the sea throughout the days
B/D# C#m
In cold ground I'll never lay
A B C#m
I'd rather die on the ocean
[Chorus]
B E A
Fight for honour and for praise
B E
Sailed the sea throughout the days
B/D# C#m
In cold ground I'll never lay
A B C#m A B C#m
I'd rather die on the ocean
