[Verse]
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
Cm Bb
Forty nights on the deck of an old West Indiaman
Cm Bb
shed little light on what I know
Gm 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
Cm Bb
Do you resent me for my roving ways?
Cm Bb
Are you still the lady that I know?
Gm Am Bb F
One day this will be over, this I know
[Interlude]
D C F Am D D F G A F D F
[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
Cm Bb
I vowed to return one day a different man
Cm Bb
not the green and witless boy you know
Gm Am Bb F
One day this will be over, this I know
[Interlude]

Relief, praise the gods for the still and moment of respite

The thrill of sleeping through the night is lost on a drone such as I

The taste of victory calls, yet a shadow of a feeling lingers on

Yet the blow of whores and devil spawn didn’t break my confidence at all

I think these things too loud

I’m nothing if not proud

I seek the means to thrive

Not scouring to merely survive

D C# B A D C# B A F#m E
Did you find your fate and make your mark on the sea imbecile

Cause someone waits at home for you to come over the horizon

She’ll be waiting, she’ll be waiting for a long time

She’ll be waiting for a long time
