Roll Northumbria - The Dreadnoughts (SEA SHANTY) Cover chords
Start Jamming...
It was late 65 at the old Walsey Yard, where she was commissioned to haul the black tar.
We built a Northumbria there on the [Db] bar.
Roar Northumbria, [Eb] roar!
Oh, when the Egyptians, they closed the Red Sea,
The call came on high from the powers that be,
To build [Ab] a royal monster right [Ebm] down to the quay.
[Db] Roar Northumbria, [Eb] roar me [Db] boys,
Roar Northumbria, [Eb] roar!
Her pathia vengeance celestial called,
How she was that tanker to outsize them all,
From the banks of the Mersey [Ebm] to the port of [Db] Halal.
Roar Northumbria, [Eb]
roar!
Then fair princess, and through a bottle of
Lush as the giant sat down in the toyn,
Oh, and lay a hand on [Gb] the mortal divine.
[Db] Roar Northumbria, [Eb] roar me [Db] boys,
Roar Northumbria, [Eb] roar!
[B] And it's one for the [Gb] Huts on the wall,
[Bb] Two for the [Eb] empire we love,
[B] And it's three for the fire [Gb] that burns [Db] down below.
Roar [Eb] Northumbria, [Db] roar!
Roar Northumbria, [Eb] roar!
[Abm] [Ebm] [Db]
[Eb] [Db] [Eb] So come all you good workmen, beware the command,
That comes down on high from the desk of a man,
[Abm] Who's never held a [Ebm] steel or a torch in his hand.
[Db] Roar [Eb] Northumbria, roar!
With a top of a well breaker that cracks in her frame,
[B] Spill their black guts [Eb] all across the wild [Abm] main,
And she limped away through [Ebm] an ocean of flame.
[Db] Roar [Eb] Northumbria, roar me [Db] boys,
Roar [Eb] Northumbria, roar!
[B] And it's one for the Huts on the wall,
Two for the empire we love,
And it's three for the [Gb] fire that burns down [Db] below.
Roar [B] Northumbria, [Eb] roar!
Roar Northumbria, roar!
