J.P. Cormier - Molly May



INTRO: E minorEm D MajorD C majorC E minorEm D MajorD C majorC E minorEm D MajorD C majorC  G+G A minorAm G+G

N.C.  E minorEm      D MajorD
Just a lad I was of thirteen years
    G+G         C majorC
When my father passed away
   A minorAm       C majorC       G+G
And I had to take a job as deckhand
         D MajorD
On the Molly May
    E minorEm        D MajorD
And the time I spent one summer past
    G+G         C majorC
Turned into fifty years
    A minorAm          C majorC
And the sound she made as she broke the waves
   D MajorD        G+G  D-G
Still rings within my ears

N.C.  E minorEm           D MajorD
She was passed to me when I was twenty-three
    G+G          C majorC
Captain Mills went round the bend
     A minorAm        C majorC
He saw a forerunner on the dock one night
  G+G       D MajorD
And never sailed again
   E minorEm          D MajorD
Superstition be damned, I sailed her proud
   G+G       C majorC
Fair maiden of the sea
     A minorAm         C majorC
There was never another like her
    D MajorD        G+G
And no one for her but me


CHORUS:
A minorAm         E minorEm         D MajorD     G+G   C majorC
I saw the time with me in my prime, no man could be my equal
      A minorAm         E minorEm      D MajorD  G+G
Through the eye of a needle I'd sail her any day
  A minorAm        E minorEm           D MajorD    G+G    C majorC
But when I grew older I couldn't hold her, my courage slipped away
    A minorAm          E minorEm      D MajorD          G+G D-G
So they put a young boy from Canso at the wheel of the Molly May

INSTRUMENTAL: E minorEm D MajorD C majorC E minorEm D MajorD C majorC E minorEm D MajorD C majorC  C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G D-G


N.C.  E minorEm          D MajorD
Ah, the years went by and the tales ran high
    G+G          C majorC
Of the catches we brought in
      A minorAm          C majorC
There were times I thought we'd sink her
    G+G           D MajorD
But her spirit would not give in
E minorEm          D MajorD
Words are spoken and souls are broken
    G+G          C majorC
And the bottle shattered mine
    A minorAm        C majorC
I could see that she'd outlive me
    D MajorD       G+G
I'd not win the war of time


CHORUS:
  A minorAm       E minorEm         D MajorD     G+G   C majorC
But I saw the days amid devil waves, no man could be my equal
      A minorAm         E minorEm      D MajorD  G+G
Through the eye of a needle I'd sail her any day
A minorAm        E minorEm           D MajorD    G+G    C majorC
When I grew older I couldn't hold her, my courage slipped away
    A minorAm          E minorEm      D MajorD          G+G D-G
So they put a young boy from Canso at the wheel of the Molly May


INSTRUMENTAL: E minorEm D MajorD C majorC E minorEm D MajorD C majorC E minorEm D MajorD C majorC  C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G D-G


N.C. E minorEm        D MajorD
I was there to see her sail away
    G+G         C majorC
In the cold December haze
    A minorAm         C majorC
But the Canso boy had never seen the likes
    G+G          D MajorD
Of the southeast wind and waves
    E minorEm        D MajorD
At the harbour mouth he drifted south
   G+G        C majorC
Right into Lighthouse Rock
    A minorAm          C majorC
And he smashed her keel and laid her low
    D MajorD           G+G   D-G
While I watched there from the dock


CHORUS:
  A minorAm         E minorEm         D MajorD     G+G   C majorC
But I saw the time with me in my prime, no man could be my equal
      A minorAm         E minorEm      D MajorD  G+G
Through the eye of a needle I'd sail her any day
  A minorAm        E minorEm           D MajorD    G+G    C majorC
But when I grew older I couldn't hold her, my courage slipped away
    A minorAm          E minorEm      D MajorD          G+G
So they put a young boy from Canso at the wheel of the Molly May
       A minorAm  G+G  C majorC
And there'll never be another
  D MajorD          E minorEm  C majorC  E minorEm D MajorD C majorC  E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G
The likes of the Molly May
   A minorAm         E minorEm         D MajorD          G+G
And I wish that I'd gone down, boys, at the wheel of the Molly May
