Wrote a song today that became a tribute to this ship and her crew. I hope to get a version of this with slide show of the ship fairly soon. Thanks to Charley for starting this thread....

Bounty, Sail Away

(Intro)

Bm    D    A                     Bm    D    A
(V 1)
Bm   D    A                      Bm   D   A
Endless rolling Blue       No tale told more True
Bm    D    A                Bm    D   A
Gray horizon haze    Limit of our Days
E                                 A   D
And the Wind is the Melody
E                                 A   D      E
In the Sails of our Destiny

(V2)
Bm      D       A                      Bm         D       A
Rush of Hull on Wave      The Gift the West Wind gave
Bm      D       A                         Bm       D       A
Wheel within the Hands    Spins a Tale of Distant Lands
E                                                 A      D
And the Force of her Plunging Bow
E                                                 A      D
Turns the Foam like an Ocean Plow
(CHO)
A       D       E
Bounty, Sail Away
A          D      E

Through the Storm    Still safe from Harm

Bounty, Sail away

Bm          D    A                         Bm    D   A
Far from Port and Home       She must Forever Roam
E                                  A   D
Raise the Glass and you may Spy
E                               A    D          E
Her Sails against Horizon's Sky
