Triangle chords and lyrics - GORDON LIGHTFOOT

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh the gist of it all is the first day
of fall is the day when my ship
Will [G]set sail
The [A]best of all friends will say good-bye
again again there's still time for
One last [D]glass of ale
We'll sail away proudly,
our backs to the wall on a southwind and lot[A]s
[D]Of [A]good [G]cheer
And [A]when we've looked over the white cliffs of Dover,
We'll be in Bahama
Next [D]year
From Bermuda on down the Triangle
around us will teach us a [A]les[D]son or
[G]Two
There's [A]many a mate who unevenyly stated
the course he had charted was
[D]True
"Don't worry 'bout me," he said "Go down below,
give a certified sailor
[G]A turn,
Just sip [A]on your rum or I'll give you my thumb and say,
son you got
Something [D]t' learn!"

[Verse 2]
It's [D]a mighty hard [A]way to come [D]down
And a mighty fine way to be [A]found
So [D]hand me my [G]grip [D]from
an old sailing [G]ship
Put the [D]kiss of the dawn [G]on my [A]lips
With some luck tonight I might
have her at my finger[D]tips

[Verse 3]
Oh the [D]best of all things is the first day
of spring when when the water
Runs heavy and [G]fast
The [A]mermaids have all gone to
Davy Jones' Ball
And it seems their first trip
was [D]their last
They had so much fun
They don't wish to return
To the beach where they
lay all day [G]long
They'd [A]rather stay under
And boy it's no wonder
When all the rock lobsters roll [D]on
It's a mighty fine way to [A]be found
[D]

[Verse 4]
Triangle Triangle
Oh see my ship dangle
We're bound for Bahama [A]my [G]friend
Like [A]lovers like danger
Like babies like mangers
But that's where my storybook end[D]s
Like soldiers of fortune, believers in God
And all kings without [A]crosses [D]to [A]bea[G]r
All [A]sweepers and cleaners
With no misdemeanors
Should try the triangle out [D]there

[Verse 5]
It's [D]a mighty hard [A]way to come [D]down
And a mighty fine way to be [A]found
So [D]hand me my [G]grip
From an [D]old sailing [G]ship
Put the [D]kiss of [G]dawn on my [A]lips
With some luck tonight
I might have her at my finger[D]tips

[Verse 6]
When she [D]took her last tumble
The sea bottom rumbled
There was no confusion [G]or blame
The [A]captain said "Men we must answer
again to the sea so ye may not
Complain"
[D]And as they lay sleeping
down there in the deep
With their faces turned up to [G]the stars
A [A]tuna fish turned
To a mermaid in bed and said
"There goes another sand[D]bar"

[Verse 7]
It's [D]a mighty hard [A]way to come [D]down
And a mighty fine way to be [A]found
So [D]hand me my [G]grip
From an [D]old sailing [G]ship
Put the [D]kiss of the [G]dawn on my [A]lips
With some luck tonight
I might have her at my fin[D]gertips
