Sister Sail chords by Zoe Mulford

Verse 1:

 C
The Sky was red at morning above the brooding bay-

        F
And the Cannons cried a warning- but still you slipped away

C
to gain your lofty vessel and Fly before the Gale

  F                          G
 From peril to peril Sister Sail!

C
Your company awaits you a canny crew and keen of joyful

 F               C         F
desperadoes and you their Pirate Queen,

C                     F       C                 G
who faced a frowning fortune and lived to tell the tale

F                         G
Now seek the far Horizon Sister Sail-


Chorus:

        F    C           G
Sister Sail and so defy them all

C                   F       C         F
with a bounty laid upon you in every port of call!

   Am      F           G
Oh Sail rejoicing as we may!

             C                F            G          F
Through the world in all it's wonder till the day we all go under

Em                   F        G                  C
to another plundered Sunrise, Sister Sail -Sail another day!!


Verse 2:

C
And your layin' by the islands beneath A Ruby Moon

                                                F
to fill the hull with Sandalwood and Chocolate and Doubloons -

C                F       C              G
with every smuggled pleasure and every dear detail

    Am              F        G
and all the world a Treasure Sister Sail!

 C                                        G
The bonny ship your sailin' has weathered Fire and Flood

C                                                      F
she knows the taste of powder and she knows the taste of blood

C                                       G
Some day she will flounder someday she will fail,

Am                   F              G
but that day is not today so Sister Sail


Chorus:

        F       C       G

through the world in all it's wonder till the day we all go under

to another plundered Sunrise, Sister Sail Sail another day!!

So Sail with all your courage, Sail with all your skill,

                                               F
Sail because you must and Sister Sail because you will

C                F           C               G
leave behind the Legend the tale for all to tell,

F                                  G
but better still to tell the Tale yourself

Sister Sail and so defy them all

through the world in all it's wonder till the day we all go under

Through Cannon fire and Thunder to another plundered Sunrise-

Sister Sail -Sister Sail another day"?
