[G] [Dm]
[C] During the [Bb] morning, bright [F] uptown, [Dm] river [C] on the way in the [Bb] night.
[F] [Dm]
[C] Little old gypsy [Bb] ma, she's all [F] tied down, [Dm]
shivering the wind and the [Bb] light.
[F] [D]
[C] Yeah, and a sailing ship, [Bb] just a hailed down [F] and chained.
[Dm]
From the lazy [Bb] days of sail, [F] [D]
[C] she's just a lying [Bb] there, silent [F] cave.
[D]
Reading on the tourist [Bb] radio.
[F] [Am]
A mother and a [Dm] baby in the college wall, [Bb]
by the concrete [C] bay.
[Dm] You [C] never want to fight [Bb] against the river [F] law, [Gm]
nobody [Bb] rules the way.
[C]
[Db] When the wind [Dm] is wailing, [Bb]
around the cutting [C] shot.
[D] And single-handed [Bb] sailor, [F] [Gm] sailor, sail away [Bb] in the dark.
[Dm]

[A] [G] [Dm]

[F] [D] [Dm]
[C] He's up [Bb] on the bridge on the south side [F] of the night.
The merry ride [Bb] of a lad, [F] [D]
[Dm] doing the morning, [Bb] but there's one [F] green light.
[D]
And a man [C] on a boat said, [F] [Am]
she's gonna slip [Dm] away below him.
[Bb]
Away from the [C] things he's done.
But [Dm] he just shouted, [C] hey man, [Bb] what you call this thing?
[Gm]
He should have said, pride of [Bb] London.
[Db] When the lazy wind [Dm] is wailing, [Bb]
around the cutting [C] shot.
[Dm] And single [C]-handed sailor, [F] [Gm] sailor, sail away in the [Bb] dark.
