That's pretty much it for chords. However, he plays a bunch of fill lines and things around and underneath
them. For example, the chorus:
G G D|-----0-0---------0-0---------0-0-------0-0-0-0|-----0-0-0-0-----0-0-0-0-----0-0-0-0-----0-0-0---| A|-----3-3---------3-3---------3-3-------3-3-3-3|-----3-3-3-3-----3-3-3-3-----3-3-3-3-----3-3-3---| D|-----2-2---------2-2---------2-2-------2-2-2-2|-----2-2-2-2-----2-2-2-2-----2-2-2-2-----2-2-2---| G|---------0---4-------0-----------0---2--------|-------------0-------------------------------0---| A|-4-----------------------2--------------------|-4-----------------------2-----------0-----------| D|----------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
...you get the idea. I won't exhaustively tab it out. It's meant to be played emotively anyway - as long
as you put the right emotion into it, you're playing it right, even if you don't hit the exact notes he does.
[Intro]
G
[Chorus]
G Overseas and far away heave away boys G Sea dogs sail their lives away heave away boys
[Verse 1]
Dadd11 Em Ghosts of sea dogs at break of day Dadd11 C Crusty beards and coats of gray Dadd11 Em Weigh the anchor, let's be away Dadd11 C From this day on we're carried by the wind
[Chorus]
G Overseas and far away heave away boys G Sea dogs sail their lives away heave away boys
[Verse 2]
Dadd11 Em Creaky decks and ruthless men Dadd11 C Ruled by the lash, where some met their end Dadd11 Em The old world was new in all directions then Dadd11 C Conquered by a few at the loss of so many
[Chorus]
G Overseas and far away heave away boys G Sea dogs sail their lives away heave away boys
[Chorus]
G Overseas and far away heave away boys G Sea dogs sail their lives away heave away boys
[Outro]
G Crusty beards and bloodshot eyes squint up at the sun G Horizons hold fast and seduce the sea dogs over G Some live to tell tall tales and some never returned G Leaving only their dreams, carried by the sea
