Great Big Sea is a Canadian folk-rock band from Newfoundland and Labrador, best known for performing energetic rock interpretations of traditional Newfoundland folk songs. The band also performs original material.
On March 11, 2010, Great Big Sea celebrated their seventeenth birthday as a band. And like almost every one of their many anniversaries spent together, they celebrated it by playing a concert, this one in Omaha, Nebraska. For the players it was an important landmark
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Great Big Sea - Barque in the Harbour ======================================= Tabbed by Owen Tosh [email protected] http://42.servehttp.com
Intro: DmCDmC DmCDmC
DmCCDm From a barque in the harbour I went roaming on shore FCDmC And stepped into a pub where I was oft times before FDmCDm And as I was sitting and enjoying my glass DmCCDmCDmC Who chanced to walk in but a young Spanish lass
DmCCDm She sat down beside me and kept squeezing my hand FCDmC Saying Sir you're a stranger not long to this land FDmCDm Will you roam, Johnny Sailor, would you roam along with me DmCCDmC To some lonesome spot where nobody can see
FCDmC Don't you leave me Johnny Sailor were the words she did cry DmCFC Waving and weeping and wiping her eyes FCDmC When you reach home in your own Newfoundland DmCCDmCDmC Think of the young Spaniard who kept squeezing your hand
DmCCDm I quickly consented with her for to roam FCDmC She lived by herself in a neat little home FDmCDm She was brisk, plump and jolly and her age scare nineteen DmCCDmCDmC And the name of that maiden I think was Irene
DmCCDm One fine summer's morning our ship, she set sail FCDmC And down by the seashore lovely Irene she came FDmCDm Waving her pocket hankerchief and wiping her eyes DmCCDmC Don't leave me Johnny Sailor were the words she did cry
DmCCDm I'll give you farewell love on a fine summer's breeze FCDmC But love don't forget me when you're crossing the sea FDmCDm And when you are married and enjoying your bride DmCCDm Think on the young maiden who lay by your side
