*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS***** [INTRO:] Dm C F G Dm C Dm C F G Dm C Dm [CHORUS 1:]
     C     F        G
All around old Cape Horn 

Dm                 C
Ships of the line, ships of the morn 

Dm       C           F          G
Some who wish they'd never been born 

     Dm             C       Dm
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn
[CHORUS 2:]
F           C
Falderal da riddle de rum 

                           G
With a rim dim diddy and a rum dum dum 

Dm       C          F        G
Sailing away at the break of dawn 

     Dm             C       Dm
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn
[BRIDGE:]
A               Dm
See them all in sad repair

A            F
Demons dance everywhere 

A               Dm
Southern gales, tattered sails

    A       Gm7      A
And none to tell the tale
[VERSE 1:]
N.C. D          D/F#       G         Em
Come all of you rustic old sea dogs

    A          A/G             D/F#
Who follow the bright Southern Cross 

         G            A           A/G      D/F#
You were rounding the horn in the eye of a storm 

         G            A
When you lost her one day 

        D             G            A       Bm
And you read all your letters from oceans away 

         A                G             Em    A
Then you took them to the bottom of the sea

Dm       C           F          G
Some who wish they'd never been born

They are the ghosts of Cape Horn

They are the ghosts of Cape Horn

N.C. D           D/F#          G       Em
Come all you old sea dogs from Devon 

    A           A/G          D/F#
Southampton, Penzance and Kinsale 

         G             A           A/G           D/F#
You were caught by the chance of a sailor's last dance 

       G            A
It was not meant to be 

        D             G                A        Bm
And you read all your letters, cried, "Anchors aweigh"

         A                G             Em    A
Then you took them to the bottom of the sea
