James Keelaghan - Snap The Line Tight



INTRO: C majorC E minorEm D MajorD (4x)

      G+G      D MajorD  E minorEm     C majorC
I've got a halibut boat, the opening is over
  G+G         A minorAm     C majorC      D MajorD
The fish just weren't biting, our catch is way down
   C majorC     D MajorD      E minorEm      C majorC
We're salvagers now, there's logs that are waiting
  G+G      A minorAm      C majorC      D MajorD
We pull 'em off shore and we sell them in town

CHORUS:
     C majorC       D MajorD
And we'll snap the line tight
C majorC     G+G
Haul them away
C majorC       D MajorD
Snap the line tight
   A minorAm       D MajorD
She's rocking, she's free
C majorC       D MajorD
Snap the line tight
C majorC     G+G
Haul them away
  C majorC       E minorEm    D MajorD
And slide 'em off into the sea


INTERLUDE: C majorC E minorEm D MajorD (2x)


G+G    D MajorD      E minorEm    C majorC
How many thousands of acres of forest
  G+G       A minorAm      C majorC      D MajorD
Lie scattered and heaped by the wind and the tide
     C majorC     D MajorD      E minorEm       C majorC
Well, the companies cut them and boomed them and lost them
  G+G      A minorAm   C majorC       D MajorD
And left them forever to rot where they lie


    G+G       D MajorD       E minorEm    C majorC
She's a six foot thick hemlock, half-sunken in sand
   G+G     A minorAm   C majorC       D MajorD
Gotta dig out a hole to pass the line through
C majorC     D MajorD       E minorEm       C majorC
Wrap her around and when she's tied and ready
   G+G      A minorAm   C majorC     D MajorD
Then stand clear away and signal the crew

CHORUS:
  C majorC       D MajorD
To snap the line tight
C majorC     G+G
Haul them away
C majorC       D MajorD
Snap the line tight
   A minorAm       D MajorD
She's rocking, she's free
C majorC       D MajorD
Snap the line tight
C majorC     G+G
Haul them away
  C majorC       E minorEm    D MajorD
And slide 'em off into the sea


INTERLUDE: C majorC E minorEm D MajorD (2x)


   G+G     D MajorD      E minorEm      C majorC
It's thirty-six hours we've been without sleep
   G+G      A minorAm      C majorC      D MajorD
Gotta boom them by dawn if we're making this tide
    C majorC     D MajorD      E minorEm     C majorC
It's a five hour haul with a Nor'wester blowing
   G+G       A minorAm     C majorC      D MajorD
And a starboard-side swell for a bloody rough ride


    G+G       D MajorD    E minorEm     C majorC
And our back deck's a mess of anchors and peaveys
  G+G      A minorAm     C majorC     D MajorD
All sliding and tangling in cables and chains
C majorC      D MajorD      E minorEm     C majorC
We're in the middle with chokers and pike-poles
  G+G       A minorAm        C majorC     D MajorD
To wrap the logs tight so they're not lost again


CHORUS:
     C majorC       D MajorD
And we'll snap the line tight
C majorC     G+G
Haul them away
C majorC       D MajorD
Snap the line tight
   A minorAm       D MajorD
She's rocking, she's free
C majorC       D MajorD
Snap the line tight
C majorC     G+G
Haul them away
  C majorC       E minorEm    D MajorD
And slide 'em off into the sea


CHORUS:
   C majorC       D MajorD
We'll snap the line tight
C majorC     G+G
Haul them away
C majorC       D MajorD
Snap the line tight
   A minorAm       D MajorD
She's rocking, she's free
C majorC       D MajorD
Snap the line tight
C majorC     G+G
Haul them away
  C majorC       E minorEm    D MajorD
And slide 'em off into the sea


CHORUS:
   C majorC       D MajorD
We'll snap the line tight
C majorC     G+G
Haul them away
C majorC       D MajorD
Snap the line tight
   A minorAm       D MajorD
She's rocking, she's free
C majorC       D MajorD
Snap the line tight
C majorC     G+G
Haul them away
  C majorC       E minorEm    D MajorD
And slide 'em off into the sea


CHORUS:  (## repeat and fade to end ##)
   C majorC       D MajorD
We'll snap the line tight
C majorC     G+G
Haul them away
C majorC       D MajorD
Snap the line tight
   A minorAm       D MajorD
She's rocking, she's free
C majorC       D MajorD
Snap the line tight
C majorC     G+G
Haul them away
  C majorC       E minorEm    D MajorD
And slide 'em off into the sea
