CAPO: 2nd Fret

[INTRO:] Dm C F G Dm C Dm C F G Dm C Dm

[CHORUS 1:]
C F G
All around old Cape Horn
Dm C
Ships of the line, ships of the morn
Dm C F G
Some who wish they'd never been born
Dm C Dm
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn

[CHORUS 2:]
F C
Falderal da riddle de rum
G
With a rim dim diddy and a rum dum dum
Dm C F G
Sailing away at the break of dawn
Dm C Dm
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn

[BRIDGE:]
A Dm
See them all in sad repair
A F
Demons dance everywhere
A Dm
Southern gales, tattered sails
A Gm7 A
And none to tell the tale

[VERSE 1:]
N.C. D D/F# G Em
Come all of you rustic old sea dogs
A A/G D/F#
Who follow the bright Southern Cross
G A A/G D/F#
You were rounding the horn in the eye of a storm
G A
When you lost her one day
D G A Bm
And you read all your letters from oceans away
A G Em A
Then you took them to the bottom of the sea

[INSTRUMENTAL:] Dm C F G Dm C Dm C F G Dm C Dm

They are the ghosts of Cape Horn

[VERSE 2:]
N.C. D D/F# G Em
Come all you old sea dogs from Devon
A A/G D/F#
Southampton, Penzance and Kinsale
G A A/G D/F#
You were caught by the chance of a sailor's last dance
G A
It was not meant to be
D G A Bm
And you read all your letters, cried, "Anchors aweigh"
A G Em A
Then you took them to the bottom of the sea
