Here we go my friends, London in the 16th century, love in the air, mud in the streets,
along with the snow.
[Em]
[E] Chico Marx on stage.
Here we go!
All hail to the days [G] that matted more [Am] praise than all the rest [E] of the year.
And welcome the nights [G] that doubled delights [E] as well as filled the [Bm] port of the pier.
[G] Sweet blessings are [Am] tended to merry men, [Em] friends, glad you're through the best that you may.
[C] [G] Forgetting all wrongs [Am] with poems and songs to [B] drive the cold winter [E] away.
Is ill for the mind [G] to anger in flight, [Am] to think of small injuries [E] now.
If frost be to [G] save your tender life, shake your [Am] letter in [Bm] heav'n is thy brow.
[G] Cross out of thy books, my lovely little locks, [F#] of beauty and [E] east'y day.
[C] [G] And spend the long nights [Am] in honest delights to [B] drive the cold [E] winter away.
Up to the yard!

This time of the year [G] is meant in good cheer [Am] with neighbours to [B] gather [E] to [E] meet.
To sit by the fire with [G] friendly desire, with [Am]
others in love [B] to greet.
[G] O, glad you [Am] forgot a port in the [F#] path of sorrows aside [E] they [C] lay.
The old and the young [Am] doth carol this song to drive the [B] cold winter [E] away.

All hail to the [G] days that man in more praise [Am] than all the [E] rest of the year.
And welcome the [G] night that double delight [A] as well as filled the [B] port of the pier.
[G] Sweet blessings are tended [Am] to merry men, friends, [F#] glad you're through the best [E] that you [C] may.
[G] Forgetting old [Am] wrongs with poems and [F#] songs to drive [B] the cold winter [E] away.
Gracias, amigo!
[D#] Okay, the first song has been played on our maiden voyage of the day right here.
When you see us later, maidens no longer [Em] shall we be.
