Intro:

Em D C G A/F# Em x2

Verse:
          Em
He was of royal blood by a harlot mother
            Em
therefore a bastard son as he had no other
           Em                        D        C
but he got drunk one night and he took to the sea
            G             A
well he was drinking with me
       Em       D          Bm       A
to the bully of life, to a runaway wife
            Em         D             Bm       A                   Em
drowned his sorrows in wine as we’ll bury our past with a smile tomorrow

Chorus:
Em                     Em                   D C
To the runner boats we don’t have much time
C                       G          A/F# Em
now the waterfalls are dragging us down
Em                    Em
if you ever lost your faith in our lord
D                 C              G
I will pray in my father’s name oh-oh-oh
G   A/F#           Em
I’ll be the quartermaster
Em   D              C      G A/F# Em
I’ll be the quartermaster

Verse:
             Em
Then he said come with me to a desert island
              Em
we’ll build a sanctuary by the force of our hands
              Em                        C
and have our wineries at the top of our place()
                    A
for the rest of our days
        Em          D
we can dance in the sand
       Bm           A
with a glass in our hand
       Em        D
so our season entwined
         Bm          A
from the base to the heart of a perfect level
Em D           Bm  A
(sailors will meet you
        Em D          Bm  A    Adim
we will sail we will free you)

Chorus:
Em                                         D  C
To the runner boats we don’t have much time
                       G            A/F# Em
now the waterfalls are dragging us down
Em                    Em
if you ever lost your faith in our lord
       D           C
I will pray in my father’s name
G       A/F#           C   D
Oh I’ll be the quartermaster

Bridge:
     G                  A                  C      D
Oh I know I might have failed to cut the mustard
        G            A                 C       D
now you seem a bit afraid I can’t be bothered
       Bm7            Cmaj7
I will take the first step ashore
Adim
so turn around and come along (turn around and let you go)
       F
oh you C**T!
