As recorded by Richard Hawley (From the 2007 Album LADY'S BRIDGE) [Intro] C F C F C F C F [Verse 1]
    C          F         C
The sea calls, out to an old hand

      F          C
To go sailing to new lands

     F            C
They pay for your worth

      F           C          F     G7
Bread drink and a berth...Ah honey

     C           F  C    F
I've got to go
[Verse 2]
    C             F           C
The ship took the crew off to new lands

    F           C
The boson piped all hands

    F              C
And with it you'll go

          F        C          F     G7
A journey to the unknown...Ah honey

     C           F  C    F
I've got to go
[Bridge]
    C           F             C
The road bends, back to where we sent

    F           C
The signals out to the men

         F          C
Did they make it on board

     F            C
With fire and the sword?

   F    G7      C
Ah honey   I've got to go

        F              C
Can you hear the winds blow?

               F               C      F  C    F
It shakes your spirit and your soul
[Verse 3]
C                   F             C
I've tried, to stay true and stay on land

        F           C
But the call of the ocean

      F         C
Is so hard to ignore

             F            C         F      G7
It's why I'm leaving your door...Ah honey

     C
I've got to go
[Interlude] F C F C F C F [Bridge]
C            F           C
I've seen, a ship with a black sail

         F                  C
When the wind howls and the ghosts wail

     F              C
Dead men they don't bite

            F           C
Their faces haunt me at night

   F    G7      C
Ah honey   I've got to go

        F              C
Can you hear the waves roar?

       F            C
And no sound of the shore

              F               C      F
It shakes you spirit and your soul
[Verse 4]
C          F           C
I dream of sailing the oceans

     F           C
In a galleon all golden

     F            C
Dead trees in the hearth

             F                 C          F      G7
The way they burn it warms the heart...Ah honey

     C           F  C    F
I've got to go
[Outro]
    C                F             C
The years passed, we travelled and sailed west

     F         C
I'll buy you a new dress

     F         C
With all of my gold

          F               C
Free your spirit and your soul

   F     G7
Ah honey,

     C
I've got to go

        F              C
Can you hear the winds blow?

            F               C
Shakes your spirit and your soul

F           C
I've got to go...
