[Intro]
G D7 G
[Verse]
D7 G G7
You're a dirty, hungry, scaly bag of timbers
C D
And you've seen the last of your deep water days
D7
I have, too
C G
But I'd like to cut us free, and we'd go astray together
Am C D7
And we'd try that last long voyage
G D7 G
Me and you
[Verse]
D7 G
Young men aren't worth the trouble anymore
Am
They'd have you think a man that liked his home
D
Was nothing but a fool
C G
And they dress up and they go and leave the only thing they ever had
Am C D7
And if I ever could believe that it was worth it
G
I'd go too
[Verse]
D7 G
But I'd just as soon be here as someplace there
Am D
I don't need many things
D7 G G7
Little coffee, little rum
C G
I can lie here in the cove with those little stars above me
Am C D7 G
Hear that wind running easy down the bay
[Bridge]
C G
Go away, go away
D C G
They tell me that it's time to go away
[Verse]
D7 G G7
But you're a dirty, hungry, scaly bag of timbers
C D
And you've seen the last of your deep water days
D7
I have, too
C G
But by god, I'd like to cut us free, and we'd go astray together
Am C D7
And we'd try that last long voyage
G
Me and you
[Verse]
D7 G
But there's snow on my shoes and on my head
Am G G7
And there's snow on that hungry northern wind
C G
And you take a look around you, all your rambling friends are dead
Am C D7
And I guess it won't be long before the day comes
G D7 G
We go, too
