GOODNIGHT LANDLOVERS – Tim Keenan (22 APR 2018)
[VERSE 1]
C F C
So long my friends, and fare thee well
G Cadd9 G C
Until the mor-------ning we meet in hell
C F C
We stayed too long. We drank a few
G Cadd9 G C
We sang a ba--------wdy song or two
F C
But the night it crept upon
G Cadd9 G C
All our good, good, times must soon be gone
F C
Our hearty souls will form again
G Cadd9 G F C
In this cir------cle of loving friends
[VERSE 2]
C F C
There’s a bottle up in a tree
G Cadd9 G C
There’s a hole-------- in my memory
C F C
We told some jokes, our souls were free
G Cadd9 G C
The sharpest ones------ were aimed at me
F C
The foghorn blow, signals to you
G Cadd9 G C
For the ship must sail, we bid adieu
F C
But we’ll meet and play again
G Cadd9 G F C
In this cir-------cle of rowdy friends
[WHISTLE VERSE 2 OVER]
[VERSE 3]
C F C
The Siren’s sound calls from the lee
G Cadd9 G C
Or is my mo---- ther-- crying for me
C F C
She wants me home, no time for fun
G Cadd9 G C
She needs her da---------ring prodigal son
F C
But we leave, with new tales to tell
G Cadd9 G C
And our shipmates they fared just as well
F C
We set sails, and look back again
G Cadd9 G F C
And wave to all of our land-loving friends
