_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ He had _ sailed _ before the mast, _ _ like a man out for [Eb] many _ years.
_ [Bbm] He had sailed with a shooting [Ab] in the load _ [Bbm] from Frisco [Bb] to _ [Db] Singapore.
_ _ [Eb] _
He [Ab] had sailed with Frenchmen and British, _ _ _ [Db] and with those who paid him [C] the best. _ _
He [Bbm] had swung [Bb] against [Ab] the southern _ cliffs once in [Db] a storm [Eb]
from the [Ab] south-west. _
But then one day it _ happened, _ _ _ it was in a _ [G] Chinese port.
[Eb] _ _
_ [Bbm] There came a boy [Ab] he _ knew, _ [Bbm] who was the name of [Bb] the home village.
[Db] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Ab] He became a little red in the cheek _ _ _ [Db] when the _ ship's rudder [C] fell _ off.
_ [Db] And the flag [Bb] was blown out [Ab] in front of the wind, the flag [Bbm] he _ [Eb] once _ [Ab] held. _ _ _
He saw the mast was black from the smoke _ _ and pale from the sun of the tropics.
[Eb] _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] He heard [Eb] the fluttering [Ab] like the birch, _ [Bbm] like the home [Bb]-built forest [Db] of gold.
[Eb] _
_ [Ab] And golden like a sound of a shell, _ _ _ _ [Db] he saw in a _ [C] girl's hand. _
_ [Bbm] For the first [Bb]
time in [Ab] a long time he remembered [Bbm] his _ [Eb] _ _
father's [Ab] country. _ _
He remembered then a little red _ house _ _ _ somewhere in a wild [Eb] lake. _ _
_ [Bbm] Where _ high [G] tree [Ab] trunks were _ built _ [Bbm] in [Bb] front of such [Db] a beautiful village.
[Eb] _
_ [Ab] He heard the sound of a flute _ from the barn, _ _ [Db] and a well-known rag [C]-play song. _
_ _ [Db] He remembered [D] once [Ab] out in the forest, and finally _ [Db] _ _ _
he [Eb] _ was in [Ab] the gray. _ _ _ _ _
