i realise this song is on a piano, but i think it would work well with the chords on a guitar too, its a great song.

Also would be helpful, by the same man...

"The City Of Chicago"
"Missing You"
"The least we can do"
"El Salvador"

If anyone can get me the chords to any of these songs i would be eternally grateful, cheers

  CHRISTY MOORE                THE VOYAGE
  
     G      D      C               G
     I am a sailor,you're my first mate
                  D            C           D
     We signed on together, we coupled our fate
     C             D          C              G
     Hauled up our anchor, determined not to fail
                    D          C             G
     For the hearts treasure together we set sail.
      
     G               D           C               G
     With no maps to guide us we steered our own course
                  D               C               D
     Rode out the storms when the winds were gale force
     C           D           C            G
     Sat out the doldrums in patience and hope
               D         C              G
     Working together we learned how to cope.
      
  CHORUS
        Bm         C         Bm        C
        Life is an ocean and love is a boat
                    Am         C         D
        In troubled water that keeps us afloat
                C           D                Bm          C
        When we started the voyage,there was just me and you
                                 Am        D    G
        Now gathered round us we have our own crew.
      G        D             C         G
     Together we're in this relationship
                      D        C              D
     We built it with care to last the whole trip
         C          D           C             G
     Our true destination's not marked on any charts
                D            C             G
     We're navigating to the shores of the heart.

s6k,

In spite of the fact that I think The Voyage could well be among the most dreadful music I have ever heard I will tell that if you google Christy Moore you will find chords and all at his web site.

not only do i know ride on, but i can outplay her at it!!
i can play the intro riff, AND the background fingerpicking rhythm, which is Cm, G# and Bb repeated over and over
sounds great.

Id like to learn el salvador though, been listening to the album a lot lately.
A few of the songs from the album are actually on that link that was posted earlier, i checked them out quickly and they didn't seem bad.
ill have to have a proper look at them another time.

Chorus chords are wrong IMHO.
Should be Bm,Em,Bm,Em
C,Am,C,D
C,D,Bm,Em,D
C,D,G.
