Tom: C
C F C F
Oh the Anne Louise is waiting for a crew to jump aboard
C F C F
To take her out to deeper waters further from the shore
C G
For its quiet and still in the Harbor,
C G
not a voice to be heard in the bay
C F
But the winds coming down from Norway
C G C
and there's plenty to be done today
[Chorus]
C C
Oh, cast off me lads,
F F
we'll set the sails harding,
C F
'cause she's been gasping for some action
G G
out on the open seas,
C F C G
oh there's nothing quite like pitching along at dangerous speeds,
C F C G C
with my hand on the tiller of my sky blue westerly
[Verse 2]
C F C F
Oh we've coffee and we've bacon and we've everything on board,
C F C F
so cried the crew: "cast off from this safe haven we've been moored,
C G C G
for there's salt wind in our lungs boys and salt blood in our veins,
C F C G C
but the wind's coming down from Norway making horses beyond the cranes
[Chorus]
C C
Oh, cast off me lads,
F F
we'll set the sails harding,
C F
'cause she's been gasping for some action
G G
out on the open seas,
C F C G
oh there's nothing quite like pitching along at dangerous speeds,
C F C G C
with my hand on the tiller of my sky blue westerly
[Verse 3]
C F C F
Oh she may be kind of small but she's got everything and more,
C F C F
for a crew of hopeless sea-dogs to lose sight of the shore,
C G C G
oh we may be back in a month or we may be back in a day,
C F C G C
but the wind's coming down from Norway and there's no way that we can stay
[Chorus]
C C
Oh, cast off me lads,
F F
we'll set the sails harding,
C F
'cause she's been gasping for some action
G G
out on the open seas,
C F C G
oh there's nothing quite like pitching along at dangerous speeds,
C F C G C
with my hand on the tiller of my sky blue westerly
[Verse 4]
C F C F
Oh the Anne Louise has had her fill and now we must away,
C F C C
to walk upon the shores and share the stories of the day,
C G C G
oh we may sleep well in our beds tonight and we may not be back here for days,
C F C G C
but the wind's coming down from Norway and our dreams will be on the waves
[Chorus]
C C
Oh, cast off me lads,
F F
we'll set the sails harding,
C F
'cause she's been gasping for some action
G G
out on the open seas,
C F C G
oh there's nothing quite like pitching along at dangerous speeds,
C F C G C
with my hand on the tiller of my sky blue westerly
[Chorus]
C C
Oh, cast off me lads,
F F
we'll set the sails harding,
C F
'cause she's been gasping for some action
G G
out on the open seas,
C F C G
oh there's nothing quite like pitching along at dangerous speeds,
C F C G C
with my hand on the tiller of my sky blue westerly
