This song was on the "Singalong Jubilee" album, performed beautifully by Jim Bennett. His was close to the Smilin' Ivan Dorey version listed above. 1st verse, with chords (ChordPro format): Come and [Em]listen to a story I will tell to you Of the graveyard [D]of the [Em]deep, Where the ships are caught by the shifting sands And remain in [D]eternal [Em]sleep, Where the [D]mountains high meet the [G]pale blue sky, The [D]great white breakers [G]roar, And the [C]moon at night sends its [G]veiling light On old [D]Sable Island [G]shore. I think (but it's hard to tell for sure) that Jim sang the second-last line as "failing light" instead of "veiling light" - either one works.
