_ _ _ He laughed and slapped me on the back, said,
Boy, oh, can't you [G] see?
_ _ [C] I've seen the last of windswept [F] bogs,
[C] And [G] bogs the last [C] of me.
_ And the [F] peeler sang [C] the landlords
_ [F] In the risings [C] of [G] the moon.
_ _ [C] And if ever I return [F] again, _ _ _ _ _
It will be too [G] bloody _ [C] soon.
_ [G] Rich man, poor [F] man, beggar man, [C] wife,
_ [G] Sailed away [F] into the [C] night.
_ Where they landed, _ [F] no one [C] knows,
Round and round [G] the story [C] _ goes.

He said, my friend, I'll take my chance
[F] In far [C]-off New York [G] town. _ _
[C] They say there's lots of work there,
[F] And [C] a good man [G] won't [C] stay down. _
For with my lassie by my side
We'll build a better [G] home. _
[C] And when the siege overlaps,
[F] _
[C] We never [G] will hold our [C] own.
_ So he said, farewell, upon the quay.
There [F] was nothing _ left to [G] do
_ But to pray for John and his [F] lovely bride. _
_ _ _ _ That their [C] dreams [G] might all [C] come true.
How I envied you, John Williams,
And [F] your lovely [C] fair [G]-haired bride.
She'll [C] be sailing on that mighty [F] ship
_ [C] Across [G] the ocean [C] wide.
_ For she's the finest liner
_ That [F] was ever [C] built [G] by man.
And [C] they say there's naught can sink [F] her,
[C] Not even _
[G] God's own hand.
_ _ Man's pride [F] can be [C] his own downfall,
[F] That great ship [C] sailing [G] home.
_ _ [C] But I thought I heard the man, [F] she's crying, _ _
_ _ _ [C] That she'll be [G] _
[C] to the bound.
_ [G] Rich man, poor [F] man, beggar [C] man, wife,
[G] _ Sailing away [F] into [C] the night.
_ Where they land, what [F] _ [C] no one knows,
_ Round and round [G] the story [C] goes,
_ Round and round [G] the iceberg _ [C] flows. _ _
