Chords for The Wilson Family - Big Steamers at Shrewsbury Folk Festival

_ _ _ I'll put you in that, mate. _
[G#] _ Oh, where are you going [D#] to, oh, you [G#] big steamers?
With England's [F#] own cola, up and down the salt sea?
We're going to fetch you your bread and your butter, _
Your big pork and mutton, eggs, apples and [E] cheese.
And where will you fetch it [B] from, oh, [Am] you big [Bm] steamers?
[Em] And where [F#] shall I write you when you [E] are away?
_ [G#] We'll fetch it [E] from Melbourne, Quebec and Vancouver,
_ _ [B] Addresses at Hullabar, [G#m] Tomcock and Bombay.
[Em] But if [F#] anything happens to [E] work, you big [Em] steamers,
[A] Suppose you were wrecked, up and down the salt sea?
[B] Then you'd have no [F#] coffee or bacon [E] for breakfast,
[A] _ And you'd have no muffins or toast [B] for your tea.
And I pray for fine weather for all [E] you big _ steamers,
With little [A] blue pillows and [C] breezes so [E]
soft.
[D] Oh, pillows and breezes, [B] don't bother big _ [F#] steamers,
For we're right below and still ringing [A#] along.
And I'd [F#] build a new lighthouse for all you big steamers,
[E] With plenty wise pilots for to pilot you through.
All the channels and bridges are all blue already,
And pilots are thicker than [F#] filched-out glue.
Then what can I do for you, [A] oh, you big steamers?
Oh, what can I do for [F#] your conference and gold?
[E] Send out your big warships to watch your [Am] big waters,
_ [G#] That no one may [Cm] stop us from bringing [A#] your food.
[N] _ For the bread that you eat and the biscuits you nibble,
The sweets that you suck and [G] the joints that you [F#] cough,
_ [Gm] They're brought to you daily by all the big [E] steamers.
_ [Bm] I'll leave anyone in there's a [Em] coming, you'll start.
