I thought to spend my early [Ab] years across the open sea
[Cm] With naught to care but [Gm] finding [Bb] all the wealth that I could keep
[Ab] Our ship she stood [Cm] tall with twenty-six sails [Bb] aside for all [Gm] to see
[Ab] Not three weeks in [Gm] she took a good knock that sent her right [Cm] down to the deep
And as the sky went [Ab] dim I saw several [Bb] fins guide myself and the [F] company
[Ab] To a port and a [Cm] storm with an inn who signed [Bb] for a star [F] adorned in leaves
When the night is long and we're all full of dread
Oh where am I to [C] go?
For we're all ruined, lost and we're missing our beds
[Eb] Oh lady take us home
When we've run through our stores and our taking is high and [Eb] we've nowhere left [C] to roam
Oh [Ab] we'll keep our shins up and [Gm] we'll look to the sky Oh lady take [C] us home
When I [Cm] went to go pay the landlady my [Bb] share I was struck by the [C] sheen of her copper red [Ab] hair
And she wouldn't take our [C] money but pointed us [G] where we could find the mainland so we hauled the boats there
When the [C] night is long and we're all full of [Eb] dread Oh where am [C] I to go?
[Ab] For we're all ruined, lost [Gm] and we're missing our beds
Oh lady take [C] us home
When we've run through our stores and our taking is high [Eb] and we've nowhere [C] left to roam
[Ab] Oh we'll keep our shins up [Gm] and we'll look to the sky Oh lady take [C] us home
When [Cm] we'd found a new vessel no more than a year on [Bb] the bowed end we'd see that [F] same lady [Cm] appear
When our cook set before her a compass in hand and she [Bb] led us to where we could [G] get back to land
When the night is long and we're [C] all full of dread Oh [N] where am I to go?
For we're all ruined, lost and we're missing our beds
Oh [C] lady take us home
When we've run through our stores and our [Eb] taking is high and we've nowhere [C] left to roam
[Ab] Oh we'll keep our shins up [Gm] and we'll look to the sky Oh lady [C] take us home
