Chords for John Connolly

[B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ This one's called _ _ [G] The _ Widowmaker _ and _ _ it's [N] the woman's point of view on the deep sea
fishing industry basically.
You've got to imagine _ _ the wife of a fisherman _ lying in bed
at night on her own and listening to the wind getting up outside the window _ and wondering
how her husband's [D#] getting on out there in the North Sea.
It's called The [C#m] [B] Widowmaker. _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ [G#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ [B] _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ [B]
When the [F#] widowmaker wind howls up [G#m] the river _ _ _ and the [E]
sky falls [B] dark and heavy to [C#] the roaring
of [E] the _ tide, _ _ when [B] you lie awake [F#] and listen [G#] to the wind [G#m] blow _ _ and [E] you wish you'd [F#] never
been a [E] sailor's bride.
_ [B] _ _
_ [E] For wives [F#] and mothers all along [G#] the _ [G#m] coastline _ _ [E] it's another day of
[B] darkness _ [C#] and another _ [F#] [E] night of fear, _ _ _ for [B] there's gale force [F#] wind and black ice [G#m] in the _ _ Faroes
_ _ [E] and December is [F#] the deadly _ [E] time of year. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] Oh it's hard to [F#] be a mother [G#m] and a father, _ _ _ _ [E] a lonely
woman [B] trying hard [C#] to rear a [E] growing lad _ _ _ [B] and your heart sinks [F#] every time he tries [G#m] to tell you _ _ _ [E] he
wants to go [F#] to sea just [E] like his dad.
[B] _ _ _ _ [E]
And in [F#] between the kissing and [G#] the cursing _ _ _ you [E] try to
make [B] a home where he [C#] can grow up straight [E] and free _ _ but [B] there's no way [F#] you can keep him there
[G#m] _ _ _ forever _ [E] and you know someday [F#] you'll lose him to [E] the sea. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] When your man comes [F#] home with money in
[G#] his pocket _ _ _ well it's like [G#m] the sun comes shining through the [C#] clouds and [E] through the rain _ _ and [B] the
time has [F#] come to do your [G#m] share of the deed.
_ _ _ _ [E] In two days [F#] time is outward bound [E] _ again _ [B] _ _ and [E] the laughing
[F#] and the singing [G#m] and the drinking _ _ are _ [E] _ chances to [B] forget the nights [C#] you lay [F#]
alone and [E] cry _ _ _ and
[B] tonight you'll be [F#] a queen but come [G#m] _ tomorrow _ _ _ _ [E] he's sailing on [F#] the early [E] morning _ tide.
[B] _ _ _
[E] When the widow
make [F#] her wind howls [G#m] up the river _ _ _ _ and [E] the sky falls [B] dark and heavy _ [C#] to the roaring [E] of the tide, _ _ _ _ [B] when
you lie awake [F#] _ listen [G#m] to the wind _ blow _ _ [E] and you wish you'd [F#] never been a _ [E] sailor's bride.
