🎸 Intro:

Eb MajorEb FF


Vesre:
    Eb MajorEb    G minorGm
In the year of 1831
 Eb MajorEb         Bb majorBb   FF
I sailed towards the setting sun
     Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb      FF
Bringing food and fuel and guns for the Hudson Bay Company
   C minorCm        G minorGm
From Vancouver to the northwest shore
   Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb    FF
Like I’d done these 15 years or more
Eb MajorEb           G minorGm
Little did I know what lay in store
    FF
On the icy Beauford Sea
C minorCm          G minorGm
Trading cargo for the finest furs
Eb MajorEb          Bb majorBb FF
Trapped by Innuit and voyagers

🎸 Verse:
    Eb MajorEb      G minorGm
It was early winter came that year
    Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb   FF
Through closing pack ice I did steer
    Eb MajorEb       G minorGm
Just a narrow patch of sea lay clear
  FF
Now I was homeward bound
  C minorCm        G minorGm
But as I crossed the Beauford Sea
  Eb MajorEb         Bb majorBb   FF
The pack ice it closed in on me
  Eb MajorEb      G minorGm
It was a fearful guarantee
   FF
That I’d be run aground
  C minorCm       G minorGm
To barrow then the crew did go
  Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb    FF
To shelter from the wind and snow

🎸 Chorus:
Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb     FF
Locked in ice half a hundred years

Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF
Drifting with the flow

Eb MajorEb    G minorGm     FF
Where the ice goes
I go


vesre:
  Eb MajorEb         G minorGm
It seemed that fortune looked my way
  Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb    FF
For early on the following day
  Eb MajorEb        G minorGm
The ice broke up and moved away
    FF
And the crew came back aboard
  C minorCm      G minorGm
But 2 miles from Alaska's shore
  Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb   FF
The pack ice it blows in once more
    Eb MajorEb        G minorGm
Cut the skyline where I’d sailed before
    FF
Like a white and deadly sword
  C minorCm       G minorGm
The captain and the 30 crew
    Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb    FF
To the safety of the shore withdrew


🎸 Chorus:
     Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb     FF
But I was locked in ice half a hundred years
Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF
Drifting with the flow
Eb MajorEb    G minorGm    FF
Where the ice goes
I go


🎸 Verse:
Eb MajorEb         G minorGm
So without a crew I drifted slow
   Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb    FF
Stuck fast within the pack ice flow
    Eb MajorEb        G minorGm       FF
Till a group of hunting Innuit found me floating just offshore
C minorCm         G minorGm
2 years later I was seen again
    Eb MajorEb          Bb majorBb    FF
Heading northward through the snow and rain
    Eb MajorEb          G minorGm
The salvage men they tried to stake their claim
    FF
But the ice made them withdraw
    C minorCm       G minorGm
It was in the year of 69
   Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb  FF
I was sighted for the final time


🎸 Chorus:
Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb     FF
Locked in ice half a hundred years
Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF
Drifting with the flow
Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb     FF
Locked in ice half a hundred years
Eb MajorEb    G minorGm    FF
Where the ice goes
I go


🎸 Verse:
   C minorCm           G minorGm
I’m a little grey ship on the Beauford Sea
Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb   FF
Doomed to travel endlessly


🎸 Chorus:
Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb     FF
Locked in ice half a hundred years
Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb    FF
Drifting with the flow
Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb     FF
Locked in ice half a hundred years
Eb MajorEb    G minorGm    FF   Eb MajorEb FF  Eb MajorEb FF
Where the ice goes
I go… I go…  I go….
