Chords

[Intro] Bm D G A D A D [Verse 1]
       Bm            D
There’s only sky and water

                 G
As far as we can see

              A
You came in a dream last night

     G                   A
Dear heart, you spoke to me

       Bm            D
There’s only sky and water

              G
And never so alone

                 A
When we cut the captain loose

                     D
We cut all ties with home

         A                 D
Lord, we cut all ties with home
[Verse 2]
   Bm             D
We let the tyrant drift away

                  G
In one of his own boats

                   A
I don’t know why I stopped the hands

     G             A
From going for his throat

Bm            D
Every man did curse the day

                     G
He signed up for the trip

                  A
And every man did know

                         D
This was no way to run a ship

         A            D
Lord, no way to run a ship
[Instrumental 1] Bm D G A G A Bm D G A D A D [Verse 3]
     Bm                     D
Good riddance to his bitter soul

                    G
And now we have the brig

                       A
It’s sure we’ll not be sailing home

   G                A
To dance the hempen jig

       Bm            D
There’s only sky and water

                      G
We sleep and dream of land

                      A
But free of chains of iron

                       D
And the captain’s iron hand

          A              D
Lord, the captain’s iron hand
[Instrumental 2] Bm D G A G A Bm D G A D A D [Verse 4]
   Bm              D
He lashed me to a grating

                          G
For the nine claws of the cat

                 A
And now I have a fever

    G                    A
But I give no thought to that

     Bm            D
I am high over the water

                     G
I sleep and dream of land

                  A
Free of chains of iron

                       D
And the captain’s iron hand

          A              D
Lord, the captain’s iron hand
[Outro] Bm D G A G A Bm D G A D A D
