[Em] [A]
The king sits in the throne room, drinking the blood red wine.
Where can I get a captain to sail this ship of mine?
Ain't nothing slow, cause sailing boy, sitting at the [G] king's right knee.
So catch it, [Am] Scrooge, it's the best captain in the [A] world.
So he looks to King Nero, brother, [D] and see what it would be [A] to stand.
It's anything to catch it, Scrooge, walking out on the stand.
Keep out of the way, keep out of the way, keep out of the [D] way of the fallen.
[A] We're not rivals [E] in family, [C] to the land [A] of the bright and calm.
The first one has to catch it red, [F#m] the evil will be his [A] side.
The next one has to catch it red, the sultry rise and die.
Oh, who is it, oh, who is it, [F#m] who told the king [D] of me,
[A] to set [G] us off this [A] time of year, [C] to sail [A] across the sea?
Rest you well, my good man, I shall not sail alone.
Before I catch land, you know the Lord's first, first, first, ship's mine.
Before I catch land, you can't be best to bring the [D] heirs of honor.
Away, [G] away, we'll go away, to [D] bring the king's [A] bride home.
Last year I feared my captain here, I feared what comes of harm.
Last year I saw the new king, the old man in the rime.
I'll be a fan, I'll be a frown, I'll be a [G] deadly storm.
[A] Blow the wind, wear the hail, I [D] shall not sail [A] [A] alone.
[D] [A]
[G] [A]
[F] [A]
They had me sailing the day, the [F#m] day, the [A] day, the day, the only one.
I had a boat that blew the [D] wind, maybe because [A] she'd moaned.
They had me sailing the day, the day, the [G] day, the day, the day, the day, the day.
All [G] the waves [A] came for the [Dm] sight, and rolled [A] around with me.
They had me sailing the lea, the lea, the lea, the lonely fight.
When the anchor broke, and the sail went home, she began to write.
We had a simple, legally, [G] concrete, lonely night
[A] And all the waves came for us like [F] diamonds in a [A] chain
[A]
And we'll climb the top, that's how, [F#m] far take it [A] down in there
And we'll climb the top, that's how, sweetly every night
No shore, no shore, I had a [D] single island, that [G] I had seen
[Em] The blue and the fair, with the coal and the black [A] steam
Come down, come down, my sailor [D] boy, I think you've [A] turned me on
This fall season, I come back, and now you might have gone
Come down, come down, my sailor boy, it's here that we must die
The ship [G] is gone, and [B] every side, [F] and now I see
[D] [A]
[B] [E]
[A]
[E] [G] [A]
[D] [A]
Low, [Bm] low, through the snow, to my bed, [C] I had [A] heaps of shoes
The lonely, all the day was over, [D] perhaps they'd [A] slain the dog
And many were the feathered bears, [D] that fluttered on [D] the foam
[A] Many were those noble boys, [C] who never knew the [A] curtain call
Fifteen miles from shore to shore, [D] and fifty, [A] if I can see
Their eyes were as if at rest, [F#m] as if alone down by the [A] trees
But God, the loneliest sailor, [A] with a lantern in [D] hand
[B]
[G] Before he could see, he smirked at his friends, [C] from sailing [A] home again
