G                                   Bm
Go and tell Lord Grenville that the tide is on the turn

Em                              D     C                    Am
It's time to haul the anchor up   and leave the land astern

B7                              C     Edim
We'll be gone before the dawn returns

Like voices on the wind
[Verse II]

Go and tell Lord Grenville that our dreams have run aground

Em                              D C              Am
There's nothing here to keep us   in this shanty town

B7                                C     Edim
None of us are caring where we're bound

     G                F  Em  Adim  Adim*
Like voices on the wind
[Chorus]
   G            C                    D
   And come the day you'll hear them saying

                                  G
   "They're throwing it all away"

   C               D

[Verse III]
G                                  Bm
Go and fetch the captain's log and tear the pages out

Em                               D     C                 Am
We're on our way to nowhere now, can't   bring the helm about

B7                         C     Edim
None of us are left in any doubt

   G                 F  Em  Adim  Adim*
We won't be back again
[Verse IV]
G                                    Bm
Send a message to the fleet, they'll    search for us in vain

Em                             D    C                   Am
We won't be there among the reaches of the Spanish Main

B7                                C    Edim
Tell the ones we left home not to wait

   G                 F  Em  Adim  Adim*
We won't be back again
[Chorus]
   G            C                    D

[Bridge]
   Dm                        C
   Our time is just a point along a line

   Cm                        G
   That runs forever with no end

   Dm                            C
   I never thought that we would come to find

   Cm                          G
   Ourselves upon these rocks again

      Adim  Adim* G  Adim  Adim* G  Adim  Adim* G  Gmaj7  G7  C  Cm  G  Cm  G
   Oh no...
