Chords with lyrics

VERSE:
     C majorC                  A minorAm   G+G    FF
Well it's just my luck to have the watch, with nothing left to do
    C majorC        FF         A minorAm         G+G
But to watch the deadly waters glide as we roll north to the 'Soo',
C majorC                 A minorAm    E minorEm   FF
Wonder when they'll turn again and pitch us to the rail
  C majorC         G+G        FF
Whirl off one more youngster in the gale.

  C majorC                A minorAm   G+G    FF
The kid was so damned eager. It was all so big and new.
C majorC      FF         A minorAm        G+G
Never had to tell him twice, or find him work to do.
  C majorC                A minorAm   E minorEm    FF
And evenings on the mess deck he was always first to sing,
    C majorC        G+G        C majorC
Show us pictures of the girl he'd wed in spring.

CHORUS
   G+G                  FF         C majorC
But I told that kid a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted.
   FF         C majorC        A minorAm        G+G
They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted."
   C majorC        Dsus2Dsus2       E minorEm       FF
But tonight a red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall,
    A minorAm       G+G     FF
And her lover's gone into a white squall.


    C majorC                 A minorAm   G+G   FF
It's a thing that us oldtimers know. In a sultry summer calm
   C majorC         FF        A minorAm       G+G
There comes a blow from nowhere, and it goes off like a bomb.
   C majorC               A minorAm    E minorEm   FF
And a fifteen thousand tonner can be thrown upon her beam
     C majorC        G+G       FF
While the gale takes all before it with a scream.

  C majorC               A minorAm   G+G   FF
The kid was on the hatches, lying staring at the sky.
   C majorC        FF         A minorAm         G+G
From where I stood I swear I could see tears fall from his eyes.
   C majorC                  A minorAm    E minorEm  FF
So I hadn't the heart to tell him that he should be on a line,
C majorC     G+G         C majorC
Even on a night so warm and fine.


REPEAT CHORUS

      C majorC               A minorAm  G+G   FF
And I could feel her keeling over with the fury of the blow.
   C majorC          FF       A minorAm      G+G
And I watched the rail go under then, so terrible and slow.
      C majorC                  A minorAm    E minorEm   FF
Then, like some great dog she shook herself and roared upright again.
  C majorC      G+G         C majorC
Far overside, I heard him call my name.


FINAL CHORUS
