The Longest Johns – Good Ship Ragamuffin (Guitar)

D                               G
I'm on me way down to the quay, where the ship at anchor lays

D                                   Em
To command a gang of navvies there, they told me to engage

D                                  G
I thought I'd drop in for a drink, before I sailed away

        D*         Em* G*
For to take a trip on an immigrant ship

C                       G
To the shores of Botany Bay

D
Farewell to your bricks and mortar

C                      G
Farewell to your dirty lime

D
Farewell to your gangway and your gangplank

G                     Em
And to hell with your overtime

D                               G
For the good ship Ragamuffin is lying at the quay

        D*              Em* G*
For to take old Pat with a shovel on his back

C                       G
To the shores of Botany Bay

D                                     G
Well, the boss comes up this morning, and he says "Well, Pat, you know,

D                                        Em
That if you don't mix that mortar quick, I'm afraid you'll have to go,"

D                                 G
Well, of course he did insult me, so I demanded all me pay

      D*               Em* G*
And I told him straight I was gonna emigrate

C                       G
To the shores of Botany Bay

D
Farewell to your bricks and mortar

C                      G
Farewell to your dirty lime

D
Farewell to your gangway and your gangplank

G                     Em
And to hell with your overtime

D                               G
For the good ship Ragamuffin is lying at the quay

        D*              Em* G*
For to take old Pat with a shovel on his back

C                       G
To the shores of Botany Bay

D                           G
And when I reach Australia, I'll go in search of gold

D                                    Em
There's plenty there for digging up, or so I have been told

D                              G
And when I've made me fortune, there'll be no more bricks to lay

     D*           Em*  G*
I'll take me ease doing what I please

C                       G
On the shores of Botany Bay

D
Farewell to your bricks and mortar

C                      G
Farewell to your dirty lime

D
Farewell to your gangway and your gangplank

G                     Em
And to hell with your overtime

D                               G
For the good ship Ragamuffin is lying at the quay

        D*              Em* G*
For to take old Pat with a shovel on his back

C                       G
To the shores of Botany Bay

D
Farewell to your bricks and mortar

C                      G
Farewell to your dirty lime

D
Farewell to your gangway and your gangplank

G                      Em
And to hell with your overtime

D                               G
For the good ship Ragamuffin is lying at the quay

        D*              Em* G*
For to take old Pat with a shovel on his back

C                       G
To the shores of Botany Bay

        D*              Em* G*
