"Whisky/whiskey" not to worry as long as there's a shot left!

Flash Company- right on target!

Here's another verse with the nice internal rhyme:

Then up spoke our apprentice boy,
In a manner less than dour,
"As long?s we?ve here and there ain?t no beer,
Make mine a whiskey sour,
Make mine a whiskey sour!"

Here's the chords for how the above verse runs based on my arrangement of "A Sailor's Yarn" (copy and paste into WORD/TIMES/12 to line up chords):

Em------D-Em-------G------D
?Twas on the good ship Fly-ing Fish
---Em--D-----Bm
All in the Chi-na Seas;
--------Em-------------------D---Em
With the wind a-lee, and the cap-stan free,
----Bm------D-Bm
We set sail for Ca-diz,
------Em----Bm---Em

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
Yes, we set sail for Ca-diz.
