None of them
Am G C F
Oh you slipped away from the harbour side
C G F Dm
In the morning bright and clear
Am G C F
And your sails were filled with the rising wind
C E F Dm
And you laughed for all to hear
Am G C
But you never glanced at the ragged dance
F Dm Em G
Of your lovers on the quai
Am G C F
Don't call on them when the winds rise high
C G F Dm
On the dark and the rolling sea.
Am G C F
You set your course for the furthest shores
C G F Dm
And you never once looked back
Am G C F
And the flag you flew was the pirate cross
C E F Dm
On a field of velvet black.
Am G C
And those landsmen who you but lately knew
F Dm Em G
Were left stranded on the lea
Am G C F
Don't call on them when the storm clouds rise
C G F Dm
On the dark and the rolling sea.
Am G C F
Oh I have no need of a chart or creed
C G F Dm
You told your waiting crew
Am G C F
For the winds of chance, they will bear us straight
C E F Dm
And you spoke as though you knew.
Am G C
So you paid no mind to the warning signs
F Dm Em G
As you gave your words so free
Am G C F
Don't change your tack when the timbers crack
C G F Dm
On the dark and and the rolling sea.
Am G C F
Now the thunder rails in the great mainsails
C G F Dm
And the stars desert the skies
Am G C F
And the rigging strains as the hands of rain
C E F Dm
Reach down to wash your eyes.
Am G C
And your oarsman stands with his knife in hand
F Dm Em G
And his eyes spell mutiny
Am G C F
Don't call my name when your ship goes down
C G F Dm Am G Am
On the dark and the rolling sea.
