Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse:
  D MajorD                   G+G
In the cold Canadian waters where there's danger,
  D MajorD                A augmentedA
On the fifteenth day in a February gale,
   D MajorD              G+G
When the chilly waters claimed the Ocean Ranger,
   D MajorD        A augmentedA         D MajorD
Not one human ever lived to tell the tale.

Chorus:
   G+G
For three long weeks on the Ocean minds,
      D MajorD
Was the children made them valentines,
      A augmentedA
As they waited for their fathers
   D MajorD
To return home from the cold.
       G+G
Left their wives, their sons and daughters,
       D MajorD
With their mothers and their fathers,
     A augmentedA
In the cold Canadian waters;
     G+G        D MajorD
Lord have mercy on their souls.

Verse:
  D MajorD                     G+G
From time to tide you understand a mother's feelings,
 D MajorD                A augmentedA
Or the feeling of a father for his son;
 D MajorD                      G+G
But those little children's hearts they must be bleeding,
 D MajorD             A augmentedA         D MajorD
When they're old enough to know their father's gone.

Chorus:
   G+G
For three long weeks on the Ocean minds,
      D MajorD
Was the children made them valentines,
      A augmentedA
As they waited for their fathers
   D MajorD
To return home from the cold.
       G+G
Left their wives, their sons and daughters,
       D MajorD
With their mothers and their fathers,
     A augmentedA
In the cold Canadian waters;
     G+G        D MajorD
Lord have mercy on their souls.

Verse:
 D MajorD                      G+G
Heaven knows that on the battlefield there's danger,
 D MajorD                     A augmentedA
And there's danger for the men down in the mine;
 D MajorD                 G+G
There was danger all around the Ocean Ranger,
 D MajorD               A augmentedA         D MajorD
And for those men who left their loved ones all behind.

Chorus:
   G+G
For three long weeks on the Ocean minds,
      D MajorD
Was the children made them valentines,
      A augmentedA
As they waited for their fathers
   D MajorD
To return home from the cold.
       G+G
Left their wives, their sons and daughters,
       D MajorD
With their mothers and their fathers,
     A augmentedA
In the cold Canadian waters;
     G+G        D MajorD
Lord have mercy on their souls.

Lord have mercy on their souls
