Dm Am
Upon St. Crispin?s Day we made for a distant shore
F C
from the harbour mouth of Montego
Dm Am
We were packed to the deck with a rash of Nelson?s blood
F C
on a Northern course where the tradewinds blow
C#m Bb
Forty nights on the deck of an old West Indiaman
C#m Bb
shed little light on what I know
G Am Bb F
One day this will be over, this I know
Verse
Dm Am
I remember you as the girl I loved so well
F C
and the lady of my hearth and home
Dm Am
So I must be the man with a horde of tales to tell
F C
and a bigger horde of silks and gold
C#m Bb
Do you resent me for my roving ways?
C#m Bb
Are you still the lady that I know?
G Am Bb F
One day this will be over, this I know
Interlude

Verse
Dm Am
Ne?er a sabre have I drawn in anger
F C
?nor a flintlock have I fired at all
Dm Am
Though the midnight watch has yet to wear me down
F C
I grow weary of the heaven?s thrall
C#m Bb
I vowed to return one day a different man
C#m Bb
not the green and witless boy you know
G Am Bb F
One day this will be over, this I know

Bridge
(Use this where D * is shown)
E7 G D
The thrill of sleeping through the night is lost on a drone such as I
D *
E7 G D
Yet the blow of whores and devil spawn didn?t break my confidence at all
D
Bridge
F#m B
I think these things too loud
F#m B
I?m nothing if not proud
G#m C#
I seek the means to thrive
G#m C#
Not scouring to merely survive
F#m B F#m B G#m C# G#m C#
Outro
D C# B A D C# B A F#m E
Did you find your fate and make your mark on the sea imbecile
D C# B A D C# B A F#m E
Cause someone waits at home for you to come over the horizon
A E D Dm A
She?ll be waiting, she?ll be waiting for a long time
E D Dm A
She?ll be waiting for a long time
