Here's an extra verse to this short song, which I'm not sure really is much of an improvement:

C--------------------Am---------F--------G
*Long gone are the days when I was a lad,
-----------F----------------------------G
She slid down the ways all a-shiver;
----C------------C7--------------F------------------Dm
Ma-jestic and proud, and the cheers from the crowd,
---------G--------------------------G7
As she first floated free on the river;
---------C-------------Am---------F-----------G
While she was still new I first joined her crew,
-----F----------------------------G------G7
And I worked my way up to be bo-sun;
-------C--------------C7--------F------------Dm
Now I'm laid up ashore; I'll sail out no more,
-------G-----------------G7---------C
On a rusty-red tramp cross the ocean.


-------F-----------G----------------C----------Am
While she was still new I first joined her crew,
-----C---------------Am--------F
And I worked my way up to be bosun;
-------C------------Am---------C-------------F
Now I'm laid up ashore; I'll sail out no more,
-------G-------------------G7---------C
On a rusty-red tramp cross the ocean.
