Chords

[Verse 1]
G
Don't mind the rain or the rolling sea

                              D
The weary night never worries me

                 G                  C
But the hardest time in a sailor's day

                 G          C   G
Is to watch the sun as it dies away
[Chorus]
          G   C    G                D     G
And it's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line
[Verse 2]
G
The finest ship that sails the sea

                                  D
Is still a prison for the likes of me

              G                C
But give me wings like Noah's dove

             G              C     G
I'll fly up harbour to the one I love
[Chorus]
          G    C   G                D     G
And it's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line
[Verse 3]
G
Oh once my heart was wild and free

                                  D
Like a flashing spar on the open sea

              G                 C
But now that spar has washed ashore

             G          C           G
And come to rest at my true love's door
[Chorus]
          G   C    G                D     G
And it's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line
[Verse 4]
  G
Each time I gaze behind the screws

                                 D
Makes me long for Saint Peter's shoes

               G                 C
I'd dance on down that silvery lane

                G           C     G
And rest in my true love's arms again
[Chorus]
          G   C    G                D      G
And it's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line
[Verse 5]
G
Oh Lord if dreams were only real

                                  D
I'd put my hands on that wooden wheel

                  G                 C
And with all my heart I'd turn her round

              G                 C       G
And tell the boys that we're homeward bound
[Chorus]
              C   G                D      G `
And it's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line
[Verse 6]
G
I'll pass the time like some machine

                          D
Until the waters turn to green

                    G              C
Then I'll dance on down that walk ashore

              G            C      G
And sail the Grey Funnel Line no more

              G            C      G
And sail the Grey Funnel Line no more
