Chords for Phil Ochs - Pleasures of the Harbor (Live in Montreal 22/10/1966)

_ _ song called pleasures of the harbor like to
dedicate to Lenny Bruce _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
and the ship
_ _ _ [G] sets the [A] sail
_ [G] They've [F#m] lived the tale
_ _ _ [Bm] They carry [G] to the shore
_ Straining at the oar
[F#] Horse bearing from [Bm] the rear _ _
_ [D] and the seas _ _
[G] Bids [A] farewell
_ She [G] waves a [F#m] swell
[D] and sends [G] them on their way
[Em] _ [G] Time has been her [D] pay
_ and _ [F#] _ time will have to [Bm] tell
_ _ _ _ _ [G] Oh soon
the sailing [F#m] will be over _
_ Come [C] and take the pleasures [G]
of [D] the harbor
_ _ and _ _ _ _ the anchor _
_ It's the [A] sand
_ The hungry [F#m] hands
[Bm] have tied them [G] to the pore
[Em] The hour will [D] be sure
for [F#] leisure [Bm] on the land _ _
[D] And the girls
_ _ [G] sent [A] the air
_ They seem [F#m] so fair
[Bm] with paint [G] upon their face _
[Em] Soft as [D] their embrace
_ [F#] to lead them _ [Bm] _ upstairs
_ _ [G] Oh soon
the sailing will [F#m] be over
_ _ [C] Come and take the pleasures [D] of the harbor
_ _ In _ _ _ _ _ _ the room
_ _ [A] dark and dim
_ Touch of [F#m] skin _ _
[Bm] He asks her [G] of her name
[Em] She answers with no [D] shame
[F#] and not a sense
[Bm] _
_ _ _ _ [D] Till the fingers
_ [G] draw the [A] blind _
[C] Sip of [F#m] wine
[F#m] The cigarette [G] of doubt
[D] _ [Em] Candle is blown [D] out
[F#] The darkness is [Bm] so kind
_ _ Oh [G] soon
the sailing will [F#m] be over _ _ _
[C] Now come and take
the pleasures [D] of the harbor
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ And the shadows _ _
[A] dream the light
_ Same [F#m] old sign
[Bm] The thrill has [G] flown away
[Em] All [D] along the lane
[F#] To strangers [Bm] in the night _ _
[D] Till a spark
_ _ [G] skips [A] me
_ on [G] his [F#m] feet
[Bm] His [G] shipmates he must join
[Em] She's counting up [D] the cars
[G] [F#] He's swallowed by [Bm] the street
_ _ [G] Oh soon
the sailing [F#m] will be _ _ over
[C] Come and take
the pleasures of the _ harbor
[G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ In the bar _
_ [G] _ hangs a [A] glass _ Whiskey's [F#m] loud
[Bm] There's laughter in [G] their arms
[Em] Lonely [D] in disguise _
[F#] Heart clinging to
[Bm] the _ _ glass [D] and the bottle
_ [G] He fills the _ [A] glass
the haze [F#m] is fat
[Bm] He's trembling [G] for the taste [Em] of passions
Gone to [D] _ waste in [F#] memories
of [Bm] the past _ _
[D] Oh [G] soon
the sailing will [F#] be over
_ [G] Now [C] come and take
the pleasures [D] of the harbor _
_ In _ _ _ _ the alley
_ wet [A] with rain
_ Cry [G] of [F#m] pain _
[Bm] For love [G] was
but a smile
[Em] Teasing all the [D] while [F#] Now dancing
down [Bm] the drain
_ _ _ [D] Till the _ boy
_ _ [G] reached the [A] dial They gently [F#m] mowed
_ And [Bm] lift [G] him on their back
_ [Em] Lay him
[D] on his rack
[F#] To sleep beneath the [Bm] _ cloud
_ [G] Oh soon
your sailing will [F#] be _ over
[C] Come and take
the pleasures [F] of [D] the harbor
_ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ In the sheer _
_ _ [G] set _ [A] set _
[C] They've lived [F#m] the tale [Bm] Carried [G] from the shore
_ [Em] Draining [G] out the [D] oar
Or [F#] staring
[Bm] from the ground
_ _ _ [D] and sea _
_ _ [G] It's [A] farewell _
She weighs [F#m] and swells
[Bm] And sends them [G] on their way
_ [Em] Time [D] has been her [D] pay
_ [F#] And time will [Bm] have to tell
_ _ _ [D] [G] Oh soon
your sailing will [F#m] be over _
_ [C] Now come and take
the [D] pleasures of [D] the harbor
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
