[Intro]
A A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9 x4
[Verse 1]
A A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9 Eamon swallowed anchor and stepped himself ashore A A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9 Set seaboot down on cobblestone he'd never trod before A A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9 A lone fog on the harbor did obscure the rigging lights A A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9 And the terra firma tavern cast a warm glow in the night
[Chorus]
F#m E A Sing fare thee well F#m E A Calm seas or swell D A Asus4 A Red evening sky E/G# E7 A Home and dry
(A) A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9 x2
[Verse 2]
A A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9 Eamon went to sea for life the day he turned fourteen A A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9 On a merchant cargo steamer bound for Kwajalein A A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9 By way of Cartagena he wound up in Istanbul A A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9 Nineteen times around the horn would make a Dutchman drool
[Chorus]
F#m E A Sing fare thee well F#m E A Calm seas or swell D A Asus4 A Red evening sky E/G# E7 A Home and dry
(A) A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9
[Solo]
A A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9 x4
[Verse 3]
A A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9 Now Eamon headed inland 'til he could not smell the sea A A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9 Where they'd never seen a boat, that's where he went to be A A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9 And they dressed him in his peacoat, pulled his seaboots on A A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9 Stitched him in his hammock and sent him sailing home
[Chorus]
F#m E A Sing fare thee well F#m E A Calm seas or swell D A Asus4 A Red evening sky E/G# E7 A Home and dry
(A) A6/9 Amaj7 A6/9
F#m E A Sing fare thee well F#m E A Calm seas or swell D A Asus4 A Just close your eyes E/G# E7 A Home and dry
