As Dave Whitton born 1950 a real Clydesider and singer with the band am afraid cannot be neutral but am open to corrections! This cover shows one of the "original" lineups with - from the left - John Graham /fiddle Sandy Kelso/guitar - Duncan McCrone /guitar - Dave Whitton/ mandolin. All the band were vocalists and generally belonged to the West of Scotland around Glasgow. As far as I know only my dad was a real Clydeside worker at the shipyards.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

Tuning: Standard Capo 2
VERSE 1 DBmGD Cold is the Clyde when the autumn is turning GDEA7 Cuts to the bone when the wind starts to blow DBmGD Not long to go till the cold watch is over GDEA7D Then will be my turn to sleep down below ABm At home Katie Ann and the girls will be sleeping GDEA7 Maybe right now they are dreaming of me DBmGD What would I give to be right there beside them GDEA7D How strange when I am that I dream of the sea
CHORUS DBmGD For it's all I know the surf and the silver fishes GDEA7 If I've taken from them, they've taken from me DBmGD And I long for the landing on the key to be standing GDEA7D For I'm weary of dancing to the tune of the sea
DBmGA
VERSE 2 DBmGD White horses prancing look fine from your window GDEA7 But somehow their beauty is wasted on me DBmGD For when you're forced to look deep in their dark eyes GDEA7D Concern for your welfare is not what you see ABm The old trawler's mine, now I don't owe a penny GDEA7 There's only the diesel and pay for the crew DBmGD But my debts to the sea still remain on the ledger GDEA7D And if they're called, what the hell can I do
CHORUS DBmGD For it's all I know the surf and the silver fishes GDEA7 If I've taken from them, they've taken from me DBmGD And I long for the landing on the key to be standing GDEA7D For I'm weary of dancing to the tune of the sea
