INTRO: Em D Em (6x)
Now the time had come for Elzevir and John
D Em To be sent from Holland's shore
And to end their days in pain and misery
D Em To be slaves so far from home C D Em Oh oh - how sweet the salt sea air C D Em Oh oh - how bright the sun C D Em Oh oh - but little did they know C D Em Of the storm that was to come C D Em And the ship that would go down C G D Em Hey, boys and listen well and a story I will tell C G D Send for the prisoners down below (down below!) C G D Em Hey boys and wish 'em well and the fate that them befell C D C And pray that you will never see the day D Em You'll fight for your life on Moonfleet Bay!
Well the storm hit hard and the waves were high
D Em It was every man for himself
By a twist of Fate, t'was on Moonfleet Bay
Where the ship would meet its end
C D Em Oh oh - with a roar of wind and sail C D Em Oh oh - the ship was gone C D Em Oh oh - in the night, they saw a light C D Em T'was the candle Grace had shone C D Em And her boy was coming home C G D Em Hey, boys the ship is down, every man must swim or drown C G D Head for the breakers on the shore (on the shore!) C G D Em Hey, boys for Elzevir, he put John in Fortune's care C D C For no man ever was there 'til that day D Am Saved from the sea on Moonfleet Bay!
"What shall we do with the boy who's drowning?
G What shall we do with the boy who's drowning? Am G Am What shall we do with the boy who's drowning, early in the morning?"
"Throw him a rope and god go with him
G Throw him a rope and god go with him Am G Am Throw him a rope and god go with him, early in the morning?"
