Kindest Regards.

Hi there. Does anyone have chords for The Victory as sung by Steeleye Span on Storm Force Ten (at least for the verses)?

Thanks

I found Chordify difficult to follow, but I have worked out chords should they be of any help to anyone else in future:

     G               C G      C                 G-D
  Oh I am a faithful lady, my troubles they are great,
     G                  C G     C         D    G
  My tongue is scarcely able my grievance to relate.
        D              G                      C            G-D
  Since I have lost my own true love that was ever dear to me
         G                  C G      C         D    G
  He has gone to plough the ocean on board the Victory.
