Chords
(Intro)
G Em Bm Em G (Repeats) For the verses, just strum the chords,
but during the chorus you can play a
fingerpicking pattern over the chord.
Pretty sure Joan played a sort of up and
down over the chord, but you could probably
play it in any sort of arpeggio pattern. :)
(for instance,G would be 1-2-3-4-2-3)
[Verse]
G D G Three fishers went sailing out into the west G D G Em Out into the west as the sun went down Am Em Bm C Each thought on the woman that loves him the best C Em B7 And the children stood watching them out of the town
(Chorus, start fingerpicking pattern)
G Em C D For men must work and women must weep G Em C D For there's little to earn and many to keep G D/G Em D G And the harbor bar be moaning
(The same thing repeats from now on)
G Em Bm Em G
G Em Bm Em G
G D G Three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower G D G Em They trimmed the lamps as the sun went down Am Em Bm C And they looked at the squall and they looked at the shower C Em B7 And the night-wrack came rolling in ragged and brown
(Picking)
G Em C D For men must work and women must weep G Em C D ‘Though storms be sudden and the waters be deep G D/G Em D G And the harbor bar be moaning
(Chords)
G D G Three corpses lay out on the shining sand G D G Em In the morning gleam as the tide went down Am Em Bm C And the women were weeping and wringing their hands C Em B7 For those who would never come back to the town G Em C D For men must work and women must weep G Em C D And the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep G D/G Em D G And good-bye to that bar and its moaning G Em C D For men must work and women must weep G Em C D And the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep G D/G Em D G And good-bye to that bar and its moaning
I made this because there were no other tabs for
Joan's version of this song. It's absolutely
beautiful, I hope I got everything right :)
