Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Sea Traders (Burt Franklin Jenness)
Still changing but the song's a whole lot of fun (copy and paste into WORD/TIMES/12 to line up chords):

Sea Traders

Dm---------------C----------Dm------------C
Rollin' down to Rio on this rotten sailin' tramp;
Dm-----------C---------------G--Dm----F--Dm
Takin' water for'r'd an' now our bunks are damp;
Dm------------C-------Dm----------------C
Buckin' like a bronco since we left the Keys;
Dm----------C---------------------G--Dm---F-Dm
Listin' like a kettle as she ships the quart-er seas.

Chorus:

Dm--------F-------C--------Dm
Now we're rollin' down to Rio,
-----------F-----C-----Dm
Bue-nos Aires or the Straits –
F-----------C-------Dm----C--------Dm-----C--Dm
That's the way we traded from Fu-eg-o to the States!


We may record a sample this weekend and post a MP3 link.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
