Chords

[Chorus] (a capella) N.C. Now children, gather 'round, as we lay Sweet William down To sing him to his final shore And sing a song for me, and for these men, forever free To sail without a captain evermore To sail without a captain evermore [Verse 1]
    E
Now when he left this country

F#m         D                A
     He had one thing on his mind

   E
To wipe away the memory

F#m          D               E
     Of everything he left behind

   E
No cost too great to shoulder

F#m     D                  A
     No burden too high to bear

E
I'm going to Fennario

F#m                  D             A
     If they have to carry my body there
[Chorus]
    A                                                D
Now children, gather 'round, as we lay Sweet William down

A                        E
To sing him to his final shore

    A                                 D
And sing a song for mе, and for these men, forеver free

   A              E           D
To sail without a captain evermore

   A              E           D
To sail without a captain evermore
[Verse 2]
    E
Out on the wild blue ocean

F#m         D          A
     In the company of thieves

E
Every man on this planet

F#m                D              E
Hopes it knows his name before he leaves

       E
Try to leave a big impression

F#m         D                    A
     In the mind of every man he meets

E
I'm going to Fennario

F#m                  D                   A
     If they have to drag me through the streets
[Chorus]
    A                                                D
Now children, gather 'round, as we lay Sweet William down

A                        E
To sing him to his final shore

    A                                 D
And sing a song for mе, and for these men, forеver free

   A              E           D
To sail without a captain evermore

   A              E           D
To sail without a captain evermore
[Bridge]
C#m                   Bm                  A     D A
     And sing for the night that lasts forever

C#m                    Bm               A
     And sing for this man who's gone today

    C#m                                 F#m
Who for his true love's sake left burnt cities in his wake

D                                E
And killed every good man in his way

        E
They're cutting down the timber

     F#m                  D         A
Soon all of this is gonna be a memory

                  E
But there'll just be an empty cabin

F#m           D                 E
     When the wolf comes by for me

         E
Pour out liquor for the captain

F#m                  D              A
     Sing around the fire until the dawn

E
I'm going to Fennario

F#m      D                  A
     Let everybody know I'm gone
[Chorus]
    A                                                D
Now children, gather 'round, as we lay Sweet William down

A                        E
To sing him to his final shore

    A                                 D
