[D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] We all laugh and [F#m] tell old stories, [G] just sitting [D] in the dark
[Em] And not one [F#m] of them knows that [G] when we land or [D] disembark
We've [C] spent so [G] much time together, [C] out [G] prowling on the sea
[C] That somehow this [G] strange group of men became a [D] family _
_ _ [Em] We started [F#m] out no more than [G] boys, with more [D] guts than brains
[Em] Doing what they [F#m] said could not be done, [G] they thought we [D] were insane
[C] One by [G] one they wandered to their bunks, ready for another day
[C] And I'm left [G] alone here with the stars where they can't [D] hear me say
_ _ [A] Thank you [Em] lads for all you [D] are and all you've been to me
[A] Thank you [Em] for the laughter [D] and for all the memories
_ [Bm] Thank you [F#m] for being [G] there through the good times [A] and the bad
[D] And thank you [Bm] for being [A] the best mates I've [D] ever had _ _ _ _
_ [Em] We have [F#m] seen success [G] and we've watched our [D] fortunes grow
[Em] And we have [F#m] shared more happy [G] times than many [D] men will know
[E] We [G] were all there together [C] when [G] each of us found a wife
[C] And we proudly [G] watched the children grow and have a [D] happy life
[Em] And we have [F#m] shared great tragedy [G] that none should [D] bear alone
[Em] And with every [F#m] loss and heartache [G] our [D] brotherhood has grown
[C] I'm [G] not the first to leave, it's true, some have gone before
[C] I know [G] without me the crew will reinvent [D] once more
_ [A] Thank you [Em] lads for all you [D] are and all you've been to me
[A] Thank you [Em] for the laughter [D] and for all the memories
_ [Bm] Thank you [F#m] for being [G] there through the good times [A] and the bad
[D] And thank [Bm] you for being [A] the best mates I've [D] ever had
With _
_ _ _ _ [Em] that the [F#m] coughing starts [G] again, the crimson [D] hard to hide
[Em] I'm [F#m] sorry my brothers, [G] hope you never [D] know I lied
[C] But [G] this one won't get better [C] lads, [G] and I know it's true
[C] So I [G] choose to walk away before I [D] burden you
_ _ [Em] I will [F#m] say the time is [G] right for me to [D] go my way
[Em] And I know you'll [F#m] understand, [G] or at least that's [D] what you'll say
[C] [Bm] I will [G] wish you luck and [C] watch you [G] sail upon the sea
[C] For the first time [G] in forever I will [D] just be me _
[A] Thank you [Em] lads for all you [D] are and all you've been to me

[Bm] Thank [F#m] you for being [G] there through the good times [A] and the bad
[D] And thank [Bm] you for being [A] the best [D] mates I've ever had
[A] Thank you [Em] lads for all you [D] are and all you've been to me

[Bm] Thank [F#m] you for being [G] there through the good times [A] and the bad
[D] And thank [Bm] you for being [A] the best mates [D] I've ever had
