Verse 1

Am Dm E Am A long way from the mainland forgotten by the crown Am Dm E Am There's a cabin by the lookout cliff in this sleepy little town C G F E Where there's laughter in the orchard and me small'uns run around Am Dm E Am And me soul mate sings a lovesong from a distant County Down

Verse 2

Am Dm E Am In a harbor town bordello with the cattle I was raised Am Dm E Am This mwas any years ago now and a long way from this place C G F But to rise up from the gutters, there's a price you have to pay You tell me, "Was it worth it?" when you've listened to my tale

Verse 3

Am Dm E Am I have fallen through the gallows, I've donned a priest man's robe Am Dm E Am Got stuck in the windwards shallows with a tackle and a rope C G F E Made an orphan of a keelson, and I've stared a deadeye down Am Dm E Am Even bedded with a stern gun and I danced her off the brow

Verse 4

Am Dm E Am I brought fire down on Bristol, in Port-Royal I have bled Am Dm E Am And I've swung me trusted boarding axe till navy decks ran red C G F E And I've smuggled shady documents on pestilential dead Am Dm E Am Sold out me loyal shipmates to save me sorry head

Verse 5

Am Dm E Am And I've sunk unarmed freighters, and I've watched the crewmen drown Am Dm E Am And I shot my mate Johansen in the back in Kingston town C G F E Even signed a sheet of paper to hunt my brethren down Am Dm E Am Then stole away the navy sloop and ran that shit aground

Verse 6

Am Dm E Am Now I've swum across the Lethe, now I'm resting on the shore Am Dm E Am I divided and I conquered, but now I sail no more C G F E For my love and for my children, for a fragile moment's peace Am Dm E Am With all my sins I paid for this friend enter, be at ease
