Great Big Sea – Harbour Lecou (Ukulele)

   D                      Asus4          D
As I rowed ashore from my schooner close by

                           G           A    Asus4
a girl on the beach sure I chanced to espy

    D                       G          A
her hair it was red and her bonnet was blue

    D         G           A         D
her place of abode was in Harbour Lecou

   D                     Asus4       D
Oh boldly I asked her to walk on the sand

                             G            A    Asus4
she smiled like an angel and held out her hand

     D                        G           A
so I buttoned me guernsey and hove way me chew

       D            G         A         D
in the dark rolling waters of Harbour Lecou

   D                         Asus4      D
My ship she lay anchored far out on the tide

                            G          A    Asus4
as I strode along with that maid at my side

  D                      G            A
I told her I loved her I said I'll be true

      D             G         A         D
and I winked at the moon over Harbour Lecou

      D                          Asus4        D
As we walked on the sands at the close of the day

                             G          A    Asus4
I thought of my wife who was home in Torbay

  D                          G        A
I knew that she'd kill me if she only knew

      D             G         A         D
I was courting this lassie in Harbour Lecou

      D                       Asus         D
As we passed a log cabin that stood on the shore

                         G             A    Asus4
I met an old comrade I'd sailed with before

   D                         G            A
he treated me kindly, saying jack how are you?

    D        G          A         D
Its seldom I see you in Harbour Lecou

    D                     Asus4     D
And as I was parting this maiden in tow

                          G          A    Asus4
he broke up my party with one single blow

          D                             G           A
he said regards to your missus and your wee kiddies too

    D          G               A         D
I remember her well she's from Harbour Lecou

  D                        Asus4         D
I looked at this damsel a-standin' 'long side

                                G            A    Asus4
her jaw it just dropped and her mouth opened wide

    D                  G          A
and then like she-cat upon me she flew

      D            G         A         D
and I fled from the furies of Harbour Lecou

        D                        Asus4       D
So come all ye young sailors who walk on the shore

                           G             A    Asus4
beware of old comrades you sailed with before

  D                            G          A
beware of the maidens with the bonnets of blue

        D            G          A         D
and the pretty young damsels of Harbour Lecou.

        D            G          A         D
And the pretty young damsels of Harbour Lecou.
