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

shed little light on what I know
G 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?
G Am Bb F
One day this will be over, this I know

Dm Am
Ne’er a sabre have I drawn in anger

‘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
G Am Bb F
One day this will be over, this I know

With no one as my witness I solemnly declare

Will the circuit be unbroken?
When your dues are called upon?

When the gravy train is off the rails

And the novelty is gone?

The firewall are blinded eyes

Buy and buy low, buy and buy

Will the circuit be unbroken?
When the drones are in the air

A condescending glare

When the boots on the ground

Are categorically denied

Will the circuit be unbroken?
Am G
In the sky drones in the sky

Just to make it through a night

At the first sight of blood, man up

Down tools and take on the trolls
