_ One last I saw John Williams, [F] A young man [C] [G] full of pride,
_ [C] To have his bride, Just [F] for day,
[C] He stands [G] shyly by [C] his side.
_ He laughed and slapped me on the back,
[F] Said, Boy, [C] oh, [G] can't you see, _ [C] I've seen the last,
The [F] windswept bogs [C] and [G] bogs, The last [C] of me,
_ And the [F] pillars and [C] the landlocks, [F] And the [C] risings [G] of the moon,
And [C] if ever I return _
[F] _ again, _ _ _ _ [C] It'll be [G] too bloody [C] soon, _ _
[G] Rich man, poor [F] man, beggar [C] man, Wife,
[G] _ Sailed away [F] into [C] the night, _ Where they'll end [F] up,
No [C] one knows, _ Round and round [G] the story [C] goes,
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] 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 [F] there, [C] And a good [G] man won't [C] stay down,
_ For with my lassie by my side, [F] We'll build [C] a better [G] home,
_ [C] And when the sea trips over, [F] Lads, [C] We never [G] more [C] will roam,
_ So we said [F] farewell [C] upon the quay, [F] There was nothing [C] left [G] to do,
_ [C] But to pray for John, His lovely [F] bride, _ _
_ _ That [C] their [G] dreams might all [C] come true, _ Oh, I envy you, John Williams,
_ [F] And your lovely [C] fair [G]-haired bride, _ [C] To be sailing on that mighty [F] ship,
[C] Across [G] the [C] ocean 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 [C] hand, _ _ Man's pride [F] can be [C] his own downfall,
[F] That great ship [C] sailed [G] from home, _ [C] But I thought I heard the band,
And [F] she's crying, _ _ _ _ _ [C] That she'll be [G] to [C] the bone,
_ [G] Rich man, poor man, [F] beggar man, [C] Why, _ [G] sailed away [F] into the [C] night,
_ Where they'll end up, [F] No one [C] knows,
Round and round [G] the story [C] _ goes, Round and round [G] the iceberg,
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
