[Verse 1]
[D]Oh [Bm]you[A][G][Em][Bm][A][G][Em]
[Bm]slipped
[A]away from the [D]harbour [G]side
In the [D]morning [A]bright and cle[G]ar[Em]
And your [Bm]sails [A]were filled
with the [D]rising [G]wind
And you [D]laughed for [F#]all to h[G]ear[Em]
But you [Bm]never glanced at the [A]ragged dance
[D]Of [G]your lovers on [Em]the quay[F#m][A]
[Bm]Don't call on [A]them when the
[D]winds rise [G]high
On the [D]dark and [A]the rolling [G]sea[Em]
[Bm][A][G][Em][Bm][A]

[Verse 2]
[G]
[Em]
[Bm]Oh you set y[A]our course
for the [D]furthest [G]shores
And you [D]never [A]once looked [G]back[Em]
And the [Bm]flag [A]you flew
was a [D]pirate [G]cross
On [D]a field of [F#m]vel ve[F#]t
[G]black[Em]
And those [Bm]landsmen who
you but [A]lately knew
[D]Wer[G]e left stranded on [Em]the lea[F#m][A]
[Bbdim]Don't cal[Bm]l on them[A]
[D]when the storm clouds [G]rise
On the [D]dark and [A]the rolling [G]sea
[Em][Bm][A][G][Em][Bm][A]

[Verse 3]
[G][Em]
Oh I [Bm]have no [A]need of a [D]chart or [G]creed
You [D]told [A]your waiting [G]crew[Em]
For the [Bm]winds of [A]chance,
they will [D]bear us [G]straight
And you [D]spoke as [F#]though you [G]knew[Em]
So you [Bm]paid no mind to the [A]warning signs
[D]As you[G] gave your wor[Em]ds so fre[F#m]e[A]
[F#]Don't chan[Bm]ge your [A]tack
when the [D]timbers crack
[G]On the dar[D]k and the[A] rolling sea

[Verse 4]
[Bm]Now the thunder [A]rails in the g[D]reat mainsails
[G]And the sta[D]rs des[A]ert
[G]the skies[Em]
And the [Bm]rigging strain[A]s
as the [D]hands of [G]rain
[D]Reach down to [F#m]wash your e[G]yes[Em]
And your [Bm]oarsmen stands
with his [A]knife in hand
[D]And[G] his eyes spe[Em]ll mut[F#m]iny[A]
[F#]Don'[Bm]t call my name[A] when
[D]your ship goes [G]down
On the [D]dark and [A]the rolling sea
