***SEA SHANTY - by Shane MacGowan from the albums "Red Roses For Me" Sea Shanty - as perfomed by The Pogues

     C
Dear dirty London in the pouring rain

  C                                  F
I wish to God I was back on the sea again

       C
Though that belongs to the world of never will be

          C                                     F
there was never a wilder bastard than me on the sea

	C		          F
I could fuck all the whores in damnation me boys

	    C	   	              F
Though they wriggled and hollered and made a great noise

	 C		             F
Then I'd drink 'til I stank and then drink plenty more

      C		           F
And I won't go down to the sea any more

	 C		         F
But if I had ten pounds then I'd raise a loud cheer

	C			     F
And I'd toast all me neighbours both distant and dear

	C			        F
And I'd shoot back great belly-crippling buckets of beer

      C		             F
And a pox and a curse on the people round here

	 C		         F
Wouldn't give you the price of a half pint of beer

	 C		         F
Wouldn't give you the price of a cup of good cheer

  C			 F
A pox and a curse on the people round here
