Gordon Lightfoot - Ghosts Of Cape Horn


CAPO: 2nd Fret


[INTRO:] DmDm C majorC FF G+G DmDm  C majorC  DmDm C majorC FF G+G DmDm  C majorC DmDm

[CHORUS 1:]
   C majorC   FF    G+G
All around old Cape Horn
DmDm         C majorC
Ships of the line, ships of the morn
DmDm    C majorC      FF     G+G
Some who wish they'd never been born
   DmDm       C majorC    DmDm
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn

[CHORUS 2:]
FF      C majorC
Falderal da riddle de rum
              G+G
With a rim dim diddy and a rum dum dum
DmDm    C majorC     FF    G+G
Sailing away at the break of dawn
   DmDm       C majorC    DmDm
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn


[BRIDGE:]
A augmentedA        DmDm
See them all in sad repair
A augmentedA      FF
Demons dance everywhere
A augmentedA        DmDm
Southern gales, tattered sails
  A augmentedA    Gm7Gm7   A augmentedA
And none to tell the tale


[VERSE 1:]
N.C. D MajorD     D/F#D/F#    G+G     E minorEm
Come all of you rustic old sea dogs
  A augmentedA     A/GA/G       D/F#D/F#
Who follow the bright Southern Cross
     G+G      A augmentedA      A/GA/G   D/F#D/F#
You were rounding the horn in the eye of a storm
     G+G      A augmentedA
When you lost her one day
    D MajorD       G+G      A augmentedA    B minorBm
And you read all your letters from oceans away
     A augmentedA        G+G       E minorEm  A augmentedA
Then you took them to the bottom of the sea

[INSTRUMENTAL:] DmDm C majorC FF G+G DmDm  C majorC  DmDm C majorC FF G+G  DmDm  C majorC DmDm

[VERSE 2:]
N.C. D MajorD      D/F#D/F#     G+G    E minorEm
Come all you old sea dogs from Devon
  A augmentedA      A/GA/G     D/F#D/F#
Southampton, Penzance and Kinsale
     G+G       A augmentedA      A/GA/G      D/F#D/F#
You were caught by the chance of a sailor's last dance
    G+G      A augmentedA
It was not meant to be
    D MajorD       G+G        A augmentedA    B minorBm
And you read all your letters, cried, "Anchors aweigh"
     A augmentedA        G+G       E minorEm  A augmentedA
Then you took them to the bottom of the sea
