A Salty Dog Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][C#sus4][C#][C#m][E][B]

[Verse 1]
[D]All hands on deck,
[C#]we've run [C#m]afloat!' I heard the captain cry[Bsus4][B]
[A]'Explore the ship,
[C#m]replac[F#m]e the cook: no one[D] leave alive!'[Dm]
[F]Across [C]the[Gsus4] straits,
around [G]the [C]Horn: how far can sailors fly?
[F]A twisted pat[Fm]h, our tortured course,
and [C]no one left [Gsus4]alive[G]

[Verse 2]
[D]We sailed for[Db] parts unknown to man,
[Dbm]where ships come home to die[Bsus4][B]
[F#m]No lofty [A]peak, [F#m]nor fortress bold,
[A]could mat[D]ch our captain's eye[Dm]
[C]Upon the sev[Gsus4]enth seasick day [C]we
made our port of [Csus4]call[C]
[F]A sand so whi[Ddim]te, and sea so blue,
no [C]mortal place at [Gsus4]all[G]

[Interlude 1]
[C][Ebdim][D][G][Gdim][Bbdim][C#m][F#][Gdim]

[Verse 3]
[D]We fired the[C#] gun, and burnt the mast,
[C#m]and rowed from ship to shore[Bsus4][B][A]
The captain cried,
[F#m]we sailor[E]s wept: our tears [D]were tears of joy[Dm]
[C]Now many moo[Gsus4]ns and many Junes[G][C]
have passed since we made [F]land
A salty [Ddim]dog, this seaman's log: your[C] witness my own
[Gsus4]hand[G]

[Outro 1]
[C][Ebdim][Bm][G][C#m][F#][Gdim][D]
