Tom: Am Am Em F Em I thought to spend my early years across the open sea Am Em G A5/E Em With not a care but finding all the wealth that I could keep F Am G Em Our ship she stood tall with 26 sails, a sight for all to see F Em F Em Am Not 3 weeks in she took a good knock that sent her right down to the deep Am Fmaj7 G6 Dsus2/A And as the sky went dim I saw several fins guide myself and the company F Am G6 D5 (w/ octave on 5th fret, high E string) To a port in the storm with an inn who’s sign bore a star adorned in leaves N.C. When the night is long and we’re all full of dread Oh where am I to go For we’re all good and lost and we’re missing our beds Am G Am Oh lady oh take us home! Am Am When we’ve run through our stores and our taking is high Cadd9 Dsus2/A And we’ve nowhere left to roam F Em Oh we’ll keep our chins up and we’ll look to the sky Am G G/E Am Oh lady oh take us home! Am Fmaj7 When I went to go pay the landlady my share G6 Dsus2/A I was struck by the sheen of her copper red hair F G And she wouldn’t take our money but pointed us where E We could find the main land so we hauled a boat there [Chorus] Am When the night is long and we’re all full of dread Cadd9 D Oh where am I to go F Em For we’re all good and lost and we’re missing our beds Am G G/E Am Oh lady oh take us home! Am When we’ve run through our stores and our taking is high Cadd9 D And we’ve nowhere left to roam F Em Oh we’ll keep our chins up and we’ll look to the sky Am G G/E Am Oh lady oh take us home! [Verse] Am Fmaj7 When we’d found a new vessel, no more than a year G6 Dsus2/A On the bow did we see that same lady appear F Am When our cook stepped before her, a compass in hand A5/E Dsus2/A And she lead us to where we could get back to land [Chorus] E A When the night is long and we’re all full of dread C D Oh where am I to go F E For we’re all good and lost and we’re missing our beds Am G G/E Am Oh lady oh take us home! Am Am When we’ve run through our stores and our taking is high Cadd9 Dsus2/A And we’ve nowhere left to roam F Em Oh we’ll keep our chins up and we’ll look to the sky Am G G/E Am Oh lady oh take us home!
