The Napoli chords by Show Of Hands

Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]

BB     C majorC
Midwinter, two years ago,
D MajorD         E minorEm
Out to the west a storm began to blow,
  G+G           D MajorD
And the word went round to those in the know:
  A minorAm         C majorC
The Napoli's gonna run aground.


[Verse 2]

BB        C majorC
She's listing a week out of the docks,
D MajorD          E minorEm
A augmentedA hundred containers a-heading for the rocks,
G+G           D MajorD
Gather round lads now, quick out of your blocks,
A minorAm     C majorC
Everyone's Branscombe bound.
A minorAm       C majorC
Said everyone's Branscombe bound.

[Chorus]

G+G
Come gangs from the north,
DmDm
Lads off the moor,
C majorC              FF
Wreckers on the cliffs, get down to the shore.
G+G          DmDm
Scratch Joe Public - What's underneath?
C majorC               FF     F# minorF#m
A augmentedA looter, and a pirate, and a thief.


[Verse 3]

BB        C majorC
All those boxes washed off the deck,
D MajorD                E minorEm
Right through the hand of the receiver of the wrecks
G+G                D MajorD
We ought to fill a form in, but no-one's gonna check,
A minorAm          C majorC
Cause there ain't no coppers on the shore,
A minorAm                C majorC
No, there ain't no coppers on the shore.

[Chorus]

G+G
Come gangs from the north,
DmDm
Lads off the moor,
C majorC              FF
Wreckers on the cliffs, get down to the shore.
G+G          DmDm
Scratch Joe Public - What's underneath?
C majorC               FF     F# minorF#m
A augmentedA looter, and a pirate, and a thief.


[Verse 4]

BB            C majorC
Four and twenty ponies trotting through the dark,
D MajorD           E minorEm
Brandy for the Parson, baccy for the Clerk,
G+G         D MajorD
Lace for a lady, letters for a spy;
A minorAm                  C majorC      B minorBm
Watch the wall my darling, while the gentlemen go by.


[Chorus]

G+G
Come gangs from the north,
DmDm
Lads off the moor,
C majorC              FF
Wreckers on the cliffs, get down to the shore.
G+G          DmDm
Scratch Joe Public - What's underneath?
C majorC               FF     F# minorF#m
A augmentedA looter, and a pirate, and a thief.


[Bridge]

G+G        D MajorD
Flotsam, jetsam, call it what you like.
C majorC           FF
I got a big oak barrel and a german motorbike,
G+G           D MajorD
From Lyme bay to eBay, tell me where's the sin?
C majorC                FF
Everyone's a wrecker 'neath the skin...


[Chorus]

G+G
Come gangs from the north,
DmDm
Lads off the moor,
C majorC              FF
Wreckers on the cliffs, get down to the shore.
G+G          DmDm
Scratch Joe Public - What's underneath?
C majorC               FF
A augmentedA looter, and a pirate, and a thief.

A augmentedA looter, and a pirate, and a thief.
