The Napoli chords by Show Of Hands

[Verse 1]

B          C
Midwinter, two years ago,
D                 Em
Out to the west a storm began to blow,
    G                      D
And the word went round to those in the know:
    Am                 C
The Napoli's gonna run aground.


[Verse 2]

B               C
She's listing a week out of the docks,
D                    Em
A hundred containers a-heading for the rocks,
G                      D
Gather round lads now, quick out of your blocks,
Am         C
Everyone's Branscombe bound.
Am              C
Said everyone's Branscombe bound.

[Chorus]

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


[Verse 3]

B               C
All those boxes washed off the deck,
D                                Em
Right through the hand of the receiver of the wrecks
G                               D
We ought to fill a form in, but no-one's gonna check,
Am                   C
Cause there ain't no coppers on the shore,
Am                                C
No, there ain't no coppers on the shore.


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 4]

B                       C
Four and twenty ponies trotting through the dark,
D                      Em
Brandy for the Parson, baccy for the Clerk,
G                  D
Lace for a lady, letters for a spy;
Am                                   C            Bm
Watch the wall my darling, while the gentlemen go by.


[Chorus]

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


[Bridge]

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


[Chorus]

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