Chords for Three Score And Ten - Johnny McEvoy

when I recorded
_ Also in the 70s a long time ago
It tells the story of a terrible disaster that took place off the east coast of England towards the end of the last century when?
_ _ Almost a hundred fishermen were caught unawares
the North Sea [C#] in a sudden storm that blew up [C#] one night in in October and
A lot of men and young boys were lost in the storm.
It's a song called three score and ten
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [C#] _
_ And it's three score and ten
_ Boys and men [F#] were lost from [C#] Brimsby town
_ [G#] from Yarmouth down [C#] to Scarborough
Many hundreds more [G#] were drowned
_ [C#] their herring crammed their trawlers
[F#] their fishing
snacks [C#] as well
_ [G#] They long to fight the bitter night and battle with [C#] the swell
_ He thinks I see
host of draft
_ [F#] spreading their [C#] sails _ aleep
[G#] Down the Humber [C#] they do dine, long for the cold [G#] North Sea
_ [C#] He thinks I see on each small craft [F#] crew with hearts so [C#] brave
_ _ [G#] Going out to earn their daily bread
on the restless [C#] wave
_ and this three
score and ten
boys and men
were [F#] lost from [C#] Brimsby town
_ [G#] from Yarmouth down to Scarborough
[C#] _ _ _ many [Fm] hundreds more [G#] were drowned
_ [C#] Their herring crammed their trawlers
_ [F#] Their fishing snacks [C#] as well
_ _ [G#] They long to fight the bitter night and battle with [C#] the swell
_ [G#] _ _ _

_ [C#] _ _ _ _ October's light
brought such a sight
[F#] was never seen [C#] before
There [G#] were masts and yards
[C#] and broken spires
washed up along the [G#] shore
_ There was many a heart of sorrow
_ There was [F#] many a heart [C#] so brave
_ [G#] There was many true and noble
lads to find
a watery [C#] grave
and this three score and
_ boys and men
[F#] were lost from [C#] Brimsby town
