A minorAm FF
My whistle under the archways
C majorC FF
Still echoes down the street
FF E minorEm
All the way back to Deptford days
A minorAm A minorAm
Nights down by The Creek
A minorAm FF
Notes as big as river boats
C majorC FF
Still echoing through the clubs
FF
With the horns of the trains
E minorEm
Down the old back lanes
A minorAm A minorAm A minorAm A minorAm
And the lights of the corner pubs
A minorAm FF
In a taproom lined with mirrors
C majorC FF
There’s a man there at the bar
FF E minorEm
Reminds you of somebody
A minorAm A minorAm A minorAm A minorAm
He says I know who you are
A minorAm FF
He’s right, I know I could be him
C majorC FF FF
But anyway who is who?
You could be looking at
E minorEm A minorAm
What he’s looking at
A minorAm
And he’s looking at you

The slaving ports of plunder

Used to stink to heaven on high
FF E minorEm
Companions of honour
A minorAm A minorAm A minorAm A minorAm
Always were in short supply
A minorAm FF
The Bristol ships and Liverpool’s
C majorC FF
On every tide they came

The times they may have changed, my friend

Some people stay the same

At Execution Dock

All come to see three mutineers
A minorAm A minorAm A minorAm A minorAm
Turned off at twelve o’clock

The shyster takes a ringside seat

As they’re bringing them from the jail

Sold online on premium sale

So if you need to reach me

You can leave word at The Pig
FF E minorEm
I have no wish to stay around
A minorAm A minorAm
To watch that Newgate jig
A minorAm FF
Or any more poor old fakers

Trying to dance in my old shoes
FF E minorEm
I’ll be gone over the ocean
A minorAm A minorAm
With the transatlantic blues
