The Last Serenade

Intro:
D MajorD    A augmentedA    D MajorD    G+G    D MajorD    A augmentedA    D MajorD    A augmentedA

D MajorD        A augmentedA
Sailors and Fishermen
  G+G        B minorBm
go down to the harbor where
D MajorD        A augmentedA     D MajorD  A augmentedA
many a good soul set sail
D MajorD              A augmentedA
But the ships they have gone
     B minorBm        G+G
with the hake and the cod
D MajorD     A augmentedA    D MajorD
never to return again

     B minorBm        D MajorD
Without nets lives are torn
      G+G          D MajorD
without a captain forever moored
    B minorBm   D MajorD            G+G    F#F#
All aboard’s requiem haunts the waves
     D MajorD       A augmentedA
With no hands upon deck
    B minorBm       G+G
and no love waving back
    D MajorD    A augmentedA        D MajorD
Oh darling, we’ve lost our way

  G+G              D MajorD
So hail to the sailors and fishermen
A augmentedA            D MajorD        A augmentedA
Hail to their last serenade

Interlude:
B minorBm   G+G    D MajorD    A augmentedA    D MajorD    A augmentedA

D MajorD        A augmentedA     G+G       B minorBm
Tinkers and travelers born to our caravans
     D MajorD     A augmentedA          D MajorD   A augmentedA
though ivy grows wild round their doors
        D MajorD        A augmentedA
But like the horse and the cart
     B minorBm      G+G
there’s no turning back
  D MajorD       A augmentedA       D MajorD
So welcome to our fixed abode

        B minorBm       D MajorD
They say a song’s never done
      G+G           D MajorD
while the song’s still being sung
    B minorBm        D MajorD     G+G      F#F#
but a voice with the road disappears
    D MajorD        A augmentedA
Our traditions now spent
     B minorBm       G+G
With no cash for the rent
    D MajorD        A augmentedA      D MajorD
Left standing with no place to go

  G+G              D MajorD
So hail to the sailors and fishermen
G+G                A augmentedA
hail to their ghosts that remain
    D MajorD        A augmentedA        B minorBm         G+G
So goodbye to your dreamers, vagabonds and true believers
D MajorD     A augmentedA      B minorBm
long may sing once again
     G+G       A augmentedA        B minorBm
I said long may you sing once again

Interlude:
G+G    F#F#   B minorBm

G+G
Lai dai-de-dai dai-de-dai dai-de-dai-dai
B minorBm
Lai dai-de-dai dai-de-dai dai-de-dai-dai
F#F#
Lai dai-de-dai dai-de-dai dai-de-dai-dai de-dai
B minorBm
Lai

      G+G
May this life take you there
      B minorBm
May this life take you there
      F#F#
May this life, may this life
      F#F#                  B minorBm
May this life, may this life take you there

      G+G
May this life take you there
      B minorBm
May this life take you there
      F#F#
May this life, may this life
      F#F#                  B minorBm
May this life, may this life take you there

  G+G              D MajorD
Ah, hail to the sailors and fishermen
G+G                A augmentedA
hail to their ghosts that remain
    D MajorD        A augmentedA        B minorBm         G+G
So goodbye to your dreamers, vagabonds and true believers
D MajorD       A augmentedA      B minorBm
long may you sing once again
       D MajorD       A augmentedA         B minorBm            G+G
I said goodbye to your dreamers, you vagabonds and true believers
D MajorD       A augmentedA      D MajorD
long may you sing once again
