I play this in DADGAD with twiddly bits but try this for concert.

D                         A             G             Emi
Well, you sailed the cold waters of the great northern bays,
A                              G             D
Ice thick on your rigging, lee rail under the waves,
D                   A             G             Emi
And the snow on your canvas, like a winter gull's wing.
A            G                D
Oh, all the times you've been through.

    Emi
And now you've got hard times,
    G      A   D
And now you lie still,
          G          D          A
And you're fast to the anchor and chain.
D          A             G             Emi
Broken and tired, Summer winds pass you by,
          D          A       G
But you're bound to go sailing again.

Now that I've posted this someone is bound to come up with a different sequence! I actually sing it in the key of E so transpose to suit.
