E F# / G D (A) [Verse 1]
A     E         G    D             A 
Well, there she is parading on the quayside 

E       G        D     A 
You can find her every night 

    E       G     D              A 
Ah, waiting for a stevedore from Tyneside 

E                   C# C     B  E  
Why, it's Rene, the docker's de-light! 

    E      G        D          A 
And if you just got off an oil tanker

E          G       D              A
And you've got the readies in the bin

     E         G        D              A  
Just make your way down to The Crown & Anchor   

        E         C#     D  D#   E
Ask for Rene, and you'll be well in 
[Chorus]
            E          A          D           E        G#    
Well, she's really the docker's delight and a-ships in every night 

A                                             Bb B  Bb  A 
Groping with a stoker from the coast of Kuala Lumpur 

A 
A-love is like an 'ole in the wall 

  E 
A line-up in the warehouse, no trouble at all 

   F#  
If you can spare the money, you'll have a ball  

            B 
She'll have yours, ah   
[Verse 2]
      E         G      D               A
Well, there's a kid of every shape and colour

  E      G      D                  A 
A-safely hid in coal-sheds, double-locked

      E         G         D           A
Well, it's been said that Rene is the mother

E          C#    D     D#  E   
I wonder - well, there you go! 
[Chorus]
           E          A          D           E        G#    
Hah! She's really the docker's delight and a-ships in every night 

A                                             Bb B
Groping with a stoker from the coast of Kuala Lumpur 
[Outro] B7 B (improvise until end)
