Top o' the morning to ye! This is my first tab I've submitted; it's a
ridiculously simple song by the greatest, most high-energy band ever. As such,
it must be played furiously (except for a few parts for contrast) with lightning
quick down-up strumming. I'll add a few notes on dynamics, but this is quite a
simple song. Enjoy it!
Verse 1:
(slow, 3/4 time) C G C G Well, I've drunk to drown on every ocean I've been C G Dm G Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swim (fast 4/4) C G C G Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen's land C G Dm G Well I drank with the Sultan down the Suez Canal
Chorus:
C G Cause every dog has it's day C G Like every woman, she gets her own way C G And if there's a ship that sails tonight F C G C G I'll captain that, too... just to be there with you
Verse 2:
C G C G Well there was old Jerry Rooney, who was mad as a mule C G Dm G Spillblood Maloney had a head like one, too C G C G That night on the bridge with my shovel in hand C G Dm G Well he threatened to kill me I'm sure he picked the wrong man
CHORUS
Verse 3:
C G C G Well there was mutiny in Lagos aboard the mean ship Skondi C G Dm Ten or twelve days in prison till the bastards set me free G McCloskey, you're free
Instrumental:
C G C G C G Dm G
CHORUS
C G C G C G Dm
Verse 4:
(slow 3/4) C G C G Now I love the sea, and she wants me back C G Dm G So I leave this ol' harbor with the wind at me back (very slow) C G C G Goodbye mother Theresa I hope the kids settle down C G Dm G I must head for the Chinas Pray to God I don't drown
CHORUS X3
End on C chord
That's the whole song. Ideally you'd have drums, fiddle, and mandolin to fill
out the sound a bit, but this is a wonderful song as it is. Remember to pick up
the pace for the ending choruses, and have fun with it!
