Cross The Ocean chords by The Real McKenzies

G                     C
Off to the harbour, under drungeon in the morning
                  G
I've got a press gang looking after me.
              C
I'll awaken sometime on the morrow.
                 G
By then we'll be a league away te sea.

G              C
Full sails, bouncing on the briney
                   G
Asway about they spreay&windy all the day
                      C
Tellin' by the swells an adventure's in the making
                G
That's if I don't die upon the way

F                        C
I'm the boy they pressed aboard & took me out to sea
                      F
The captain is a tyrant & he tells what to do
                        C
But the firstmate is a cutthroat, with a muntineering?
                        F
He plans to take the captain & feed him to the sharks

G                          C
I'll never forget the trungeons & the harbour in the morning
                        G
And what the navy did to me & pressed me on the sea
                    C
Still alive & I survived so many years later
                   G
As big a buccaneer as I could claim to be

[Repeat This Chorus:]
G             C
Full sails bounding on the briney
                     G
Jolly rodgers flappin' score o' loaded '84's
                      C
Many pretty treasures, lots of booty to be taken
                      G
The cannon and the cutlass on a rebel man o war.

F                           C
I was the boy they trungeoned & they pressed me out to sea
                       F
But now I am the captain & I tell ye what te do
                      C
My firstmate is a cutthroat, a tarjack run askew
He has the skill to skin the king
          F
And feed him to the crew

    C        G
We are sailing from our homeland
            C
Cross the ocean, on the sea
          G
For whatever reason be
          C
We question all authority
