Chords with lyrics

Intro:
G+G D7D7  G+G

Verse:

     D7D7             G+G    G7G7
You're a dirty, hungry, scaly bag of timbers


      C majorC                D MajorD
And you've seen the last of your deep water days


    D7D7
I have, too

    C majorC                     G+G
But I'd like to cut us free, and we'd go astray together


     A minorAm         C majorC   D7D7
And we'd try that last long voyage


    G+G   D7D7  G+G
Me and you


Verse:

     D7D7             G+G
Young men aren't worth the trouble anymore


        A minorAm
They'd have you think a man that liked his home


         D MajorD
Was nothing but a fool


     C majorC                            G+G
And they dress up and they go and leave the only thing they ever had


     A minorAm      C majorC         D7D7
And if I ever could believe that it was worth it

    G+G
I'd go too


Verse:

    D7D7                G+G
But I'd just as soon be here as someplace there


    A minorAm        D MajorD
I don't need many things


    D7D7         G+G G7G7
Little coffee, little rum


   C majorC                       G+G
I can lie here in the cove with those little stars above me


     A minorAm      C majorC  D7D7    G+G
Hear that wind running easy down the bay


Bridge:

  C majorC    G+G
Go away, go away


   D MajorD         C majorC      G+G
They tell me that it's time to go away


Verse:

       D7D7             G+G    G7G7
But you're a dirty, hungry, scaly bag of timbers


      C majorC                D MajorD
And you've seen the last of your deep water days


    D7D7
I have, too


    C majorC                         G+G
But by god, I'd like to cut us free, and we'd go astray together


     A minorAm         C majorC   D7D7
And we'd try that last long voyage


    G+G
Me and you


Verse:

      D7D7             G+G
But there's snow on my shoes and on my head


      A minorAm              G+G   G7G7
And there's snow on that hungry northern wind


    C majorC                           G+G
And you take a look around you, all your rambling friends are dead


   A minorAm        C majorC        D7D7
And I guess it won't be long before the day comes


    G+G   D7D7  G+G
We go, too
