*second bit of intro
** technically he's playing this pattern every time there is an Em, but its nice to
use it to emphasize the end of the verses.
[Verse 1]
EmDCDEm*
When first I landed in Liverpool, I went upon a spree
EmEmGDEm*
Me money alas I spent it fast, I got drunk as drunk could be
EmEmGDEmB7
And when that me money was all gone, it was then that I wanted more
EmEmDEmCDEm*
But a man must be blind for to make up his mind to go to sea once more
[Chorus]
GDEmD
Once more, boys, once more, go to sea once more
EmEmDEmCDEm*
But a man must be blind for to make up his mind to go to sea once more
[Verse 2]
EmDCDEm*
I spent the night with Angeline, too drunk to roll in bed
EmEmGDEm*
Me watch was new and me money too, in the morning with them she had fled
EmEmGDEmB7
And as I walked the streets about, the whores they all did call
EmEmDEmCDEm*
Ah there goes Jack Spratt, the poor sailorlad, he must go to sea once more
[Chorus]
GDEmD
Once more, boys, once more, go to sea once more
EmEmDEmCDEm*
Ah there goes Jack Spratt, the poor sailorlad, he must go to sea once more
[Verse 3]
EmDCDEm*
And as I walked the streets about, I met with the Rapper Brown
EmEmGDEm*
I asked him for to take me on and he looked at me with a frown
EmEmGDEmB7
He says last time you was paid off and with me you could not score
EmEmDEmCDEm*
But I'll give you a chance and I'll take your advance and I'll send you to sea once more
[Chorus]
GDEmD
Once more, boys, once more, send you to sea once more
EmEmDEmCDEm*
But I'll give you a chance and I'll take your advance and send you to sea once more
[Verse 4]
EmDCDEm*
He shipped me on board of a whaling ship bound for the arctic seas
EmEmGDEm*
Where the cold winds blow through the frost and the snow and Jamaica rum it would freeze
EmEmGDEmB7
But the worse to bear, I'd no weather gear for I'd spent all me money on shore
EmEmDEmCDEm*
'twas then that I wished that I was dead and could go to sea no more
[Chorus]
GDEmD
No more, boys, no more, go to sea no more
EmEmDEmCDEm*
'twas then that I wished that I was dead and could go to sea no more
[Verse 5]
EmDCDEm*
So come all you bold seafaring men, who listen to me song
EmEmGDEm*
When you come off them long lonely trips, I'll bid you to do no wrong
EmEmGDEmB7
Take my advice, drink no strong drink, don't be sleeping with those whores
EmEmDEmCDEm*
Get married instead and spend all night in bed and go to sea no more
[Chorus]
GDEmD
No more, boys, no more, go to sea no more
EmEmDEmCDEm*
Get married instead and spend all night in bed and go to sea no more
