Chords for White Squall(Stan Rogers)

Eric Bolle once told me that he thought this was one of the best songs ever written. _ _ _
Hearing that from Eric, that's quite high praise.
So, White Squall.
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ How it's just my [Fm] luck to have a watch [A#m] with nothing left to [A#m] do. _
[Fm] Watch the deadly waters [A#m] vibe as we roll north [G#] to the Sioux.
[C#] _ [F#] Wonder when [C#] they'll turn again [A#m] and pitch us [F#] to the [C#] rain.
[Fm] Whirl off one [G#] more youngster [C#] in the game. _ _ _ _
Kid was so [Fm] damn eager, [A#m] it was all so [F#] big and new.
[Fm] Never had to tell him [A#m] twice, mind him what [G#] to do.
_ [C#] He made [F#] things on [C#] the misstep, [A#m] he was always [F#] first to sing.
Show [F] us pictures [G#] of the girl [F] he wed [F#] in spring.
[C#] _ _ [G#] Now I told that [B] kid a hundred [F#] times, don't take the lakes for [Fm]
granted.
[F#] They go from [Fm] calm to a hundred [A#m] monsters, fast they [G#] seem enchanted.
[C#] But tonight, some red-eyed, wired-in girl, [A#m] lies staring [F#] at the wall.
_ [Fm] _ [G#] Lover's gone and too, White [C#] Squall.
Now _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ [G#] _ _ [F#] _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ it's a thing that us old-timers do [A#m] in a sultry [F#] summer calm.
[Fm] There comes a bull from nowhere [A#m] and they go, ah, [G#] like a bong.
[C#] And a fifteen thousand tenner can [A#m] be thrown [F#] upon her feet.
All [Fm] the gale [G#] takes all before it [C#] with a [F#] scream.
_ [C#] _ _
_ Kid was on the hatches, lying [F#] _ staring at the sky.
[Fm] Where I stood, I swear I could [A#] see tears fall [G#] from his eye.
_ [C#] So I hadn't the heart to tell him [A#m] that he should be on [F#] a line.
_ _ [Fm] Even [G#] on a night so [C#] warm and fine.
_ [G#] Now I told that kid a [F#] hundred times, don't take the lakes [Fm] for granted.
[F#] They go [Fm] from calm to a hundred monsters, [A#m] fast they [G#] seem enchanted.
[C#] But tonight, some red-eyed, wired-in girl, [F#]
lies staring at the wall.
[Fm] _
[G#] Lover's gone and too, [C#] White _ Squall.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ When it struck, he saw a wooden star.
[A#m] I roared to him [F#] to get down.
[Fm] But for all that he could hear, I [A#m] put his well-off mate [G#] down.
[C#] So I plumbed their tinned stetches, [A#m] and I felt my [F#] face grow pale.
[Fm] As he [D#] crawled hand over hand [C#] along the rail.
_ _ Though I could feel it [Cm] healing over the [A#m] _ _ Fiori [F#] of old.
[Fm] I watched the rail go under them, [A#m] so terrible a [G#] stroke.
Then [C#] like some great god, she shook herself, [A#m] and roared [F#] upright again. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ Far and over side, I heard him.
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#] So I told that kid a hundred [F#]
times, don't take the lakes [Fm] for granted.
They [F#] go from [Fm] calm to a hundred monsters, [A#m] fast they [G#] seem enchanted.
[C#] But tonight, some red-eyed, wired-in girl, [A#m] lies [F#] staring at the wall.
_ [Fm] Lover's gone [G#] and too, _ [C#] White Squall. _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ [G#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So it's just my luck, [G#] to have the [F#] watch with nothing left to do. _
[Fm] Watch the deadly waters [A#m] boil, as we roll [G#] north to the zoo.
_ [C#] _ [F#] Wonder when [C#] they'll turn again, [A#m] and pitch us [F#] to the rail.
[Fm] We'll off [G#] one more youngster, [C#] and he'll. _ _
Now [G#] I tell these kids a hundred [F#] times, don't take the lakes [Fm] for granted.
[F#] They go from [Fm] calm to a hundred [A#m] monsters, fast they [G#] seem enchanted.
[C#] But tonight, some red-eyed, wired-in girl, [A#m] lies staring [F#] at the wall.
_ _ _ And [F] _ _
_ her _ [G#] lover's gone. _ _
