[Cm] [Bb] [Gm]
[Cm]
When first I [Bb] landed in Liverpool [Ab] I went [Bb] upon the [Cm] spree
With money at last I [Eb] spent it fast I [Cm] got drunk as drunk [Bb] could be
But [Eb] when my [Bb] money was all gone [Cm] it was then that I [Bb] wanted more
[Cm] But a man must be [Bb] blind to make up his mind [Ab] to [Bb] go to sea [Cm] once more
[Eb] Once more, [Bb] once more
[Cm] Go to [Bb] sea once more
[Cm] But a man must be blind [Bb] to make up his [Ab] mind to go [Bb] to [Cm] sea once more
So as I walked [Bb] down London Road [Ab] I met with [Bb] a [Cm] rapper Brown
I asked him if [Eb] he'd take me [Cm] in and he looked at me with [Bb] a frown
[Eb] He said last [Bb] time you was paid off [Cm] to me a [Bb] chalked no score
[Cm] But I'll give you a chance and [Bb] I'll take your advance [Ab] and I'll send you to [Bb] sea [Cm] once more
[Eb] Once more, [Bb] once more
[Cm] Send you to sea [Bb] once more
[Cm] Well, I'll give you a [Bb] chance and I'll take your [Ab] advance and I'll send [Bb] you to sea [Cm] once more
I shipped on [Bb] board of a whaling [Ab] barque we were bound [Bb] for the Greenland [Cm] seas
Where cold winds blow [Eb] through frost and snow [Cm] I'd Jamaica rum [Bb] would freeze
[Eb] Worst to bear I'd [Gm] no hard weather gear [Cm] as I'd spent all my money [Bb] ashore
[Cm] It was then that I [Bb] wished that I was dead and [Ab] could [Bb] go to sea [Cm] no more [Eb] No more [Bb] No more
[Cm] Go to sea [Bb] no more
[Cm] It was then that I [Bb] wished that I was [Ab] dead and could go [Bb] to sea [Cm] no more
Sometimes we're [Bb] catching whales for lads
[Ab] Sometimes [Bb] we're catching [Cm] none
With a 20-foot oar [Eb] stuck in your [Cm] paw from four o'clock [Bb] in the morn
[Eb] As the shades [Bb] of night roll on and [Cm] you rest on your [Bb] weary oar
[Cm] It was then that I [Bb] wished that I was [Ab] dead and could [Bb] go to sea [Cm] no more [Eb] No more [Gm] No more
[Cm] Go to [Bb] sea no more
It [Cm] was then that I wished [Bb] that I was dead and [Ab] could [Bb] go to sea [Cm] no more
So come all of you hard [Bb] weather sailing [Ab] that's who [Bb] listen to my [Cm] song
When you get back [Eb] from those long trips, [Cm] I'd have you not go [Bb] wrong
[Eb] Take my advice [Bb] drink no strong drink.
[Cm] Don't you knock on that [Bb] brothel door?
[B] [Gm] But [Cm] get married instead [Bb] and spend all night in bed [Ab] and go to [Bb] [Cm] sea no more
[Eb] No more
[Bb] No
[Cm] go to sea [Bb] no more
[Cm] But get married instead and [Bb] spend all night in bed [Ab] and [Bb] go to sea [Cm] no more [Eb] No more
[Gm]
[Cm] Go to sea [Bb] no more
[Cm] But get married instead [Bb] and spend all night in bed [Ab]
and go [Bb] to sea no more
[Cm] [N]
