[A]
[Bm]
[F#]
[Bm]
In 1803 we [D] sailed out to sea, [A]
out from [E] the sweet [Bm] solitary.
For us three [D] bowed if we didn't all drown, [A] the marks of [E] our fetters [Bm] we carried.
[E] From the rusty iron chains [D] we cried for our wings,
[E] for good women we lived [F#m] in sorrow.
[Bm] As the main sails unfurled, [D] our curses we hurled,
[A] of the endless [E] thoughts [Bm] of tomorrow.
From the mouth of the fall we [D] fell to the [A] soil,
down [E] below decks [Bm] we were lying.
Dirty screams [D] dripping out from the dream,
[A] of a vision [E] of old Robert [Bm] Downey.
[E] As the sun burned the crew, [D] we ditched all the goo.
[E] Daniel Connor was down with [F#m] a fever,
[Bm] sixty rebels today [D] bound the court by the knee bay.
[A] How many [E] do each say the [Bm] receiver?
[D]
Oh, [F#m] [A]
[Bm] he would serve [A] us by cold [Bm] and dairy.
[D] Oh, [A]
[Bm] he would serve [A] us by cold [Bm] and dairy.
The crest of the hill is [D] our battle fought this well,
our [A] ship danced [E] like Mars in [Bm] the fire.
White horses rode high [D] as the devil passed by,
[A] taking [E] souls to age by [Bm] toy.
[E] Five weeks out to sea, [D] we were down forty-three.
[E] We buried our comrades [F#m] each morning,
[Bm] hanging on our own shrine [D] we were lost in a time.
[A]
[E] Hadn't less night without [Bm] all day.
[D]
Oh, [A]
[Bm] he would serve us by cold [Bm] and dairy.
[D]
Oh, [A]
[Bm] he would serve [A] us by cold [Bm] and dairy.
Fending this life [D] is a hill for a man,
[A] when down [E] his soul of [Bm] the slave we.
Where the climate is raw and [D] the gun makes the law,
[A] neither wind [E] nor rain can't [Bm] break free.
[E] Twenty years have gone by, [D] I've ended my bonds,
[E] forgotten rascals swore [F#m] beside me.
A [Bm]
rebel I [D] came and I'm still the same,
[A] out of cold [E] and this night you will [Bm] find me.
[D]
Oh, [A]
[F#m] [Bm] he would serve [A] us by cold [Bm] and dairy.
[D]
Oh, [A]
[Bm] he would serve [A] us by cold and dairy.
[D]
Oh, [A]
[Bm] he would serve [A] us by [Bm] cold and dairy.
[D]
Oh, [A]
he would serve us by cold [Bm] and dairy.
