INTRO:

DmDm


VERSE ONE:

 DmDm           C majorC     DmDm
A augmentedA shanty man's life is a wearysome one
           C majorC     DmDm
Though some say it's free from care
     A augmentedA       DmDm          C majorC
It's the swinging of an axe from morning till night
    DmDm   A#A#    DmDm
In the forest wild and drear

VERSE TWO:

   DmDm           C majorC    DmDm
Transported as we are from a lady so fair
           C majorC   DmDm
To the banks of some lonely stream
     A augmentedA       DmDm          C majorC
Where the wolf, bear and owl give a terrifying howl
    DmDm    A#A#   DmDm
And disturb our nightly dreams


VERSE THREE:

  DmDm            C majorC       DmDm
Oh sleeping at night in our bunks without cheer
           C majorC    DmDm
While the cold winter winds do blow
    A augmentedA      DmDm        C majorC
But as soon as the morning star does appear
    DmDm     A#A#   DmDm
To the wild woods we must go


VERSE FOUR:

    DmDm          C majorC       DmDm
Had we ale, wine or beer our spirits for to cheer
          C majorC    DmDm
When we're in those woods so wild
    A augmentedA        DmDm               C majorC
Where a glass of whiskey shone, while we're in the woods alone
    DmDm      A#A#  DmDm
For to pass away our long exile


INTERLUDE:

A augmentedA DmDm C majorC DmDm A#A# DmDm


VERSE FIVE:

 DmDm           C majorC     DmDm
A augmentedA shanty man's life is a wearysome one
           C majorC     DmDm
Though some say it's free from care
     A augmentedA       DmDm          C majorC
It's the swinging of an axe from morning till night
    DmDm   A#A#    DmDm
In the forest wild and drear
