The Schooner Song John Prince (1980) chorus: (D)Sail away, sail a-(A)way, sail a-(D)way Out the (G)bay and back again (D)Sail a-(A)way, sail a-(D)way. Now I (D)am a proud vessel, I was (A)built very sound To with-(D)stand the salt water as it (G)crashes around me As I (D)cut through the waves like a (A)torch cuts through steel With my (D)weather-worn captain, (G)hands on the wheel And he (D)sings a sea shanty as (A)we go along And the (D)rest of the crew join (G)him in his song I was born in the forest where the great timbers grow On the side of mountain 'neath a blanket of snow They felled these great giants and with horse and with sleigh Pulled them from the forest in the light of the day And they fashioned my timbers and they fashioned my spars That would hold the great canvass as we sailed 'neath the stars I was used for the fishery, I was used to haul freight With my great timbers creaking as they bend from the weight Of the cargo I carry that's stored down below As I push through the waves under rain, wind and snow But I never grow weary 'til I reach the shore And my fine crew are alongside their family once more Now most schooners are gone, only some did they save Some lie on the bottom in a watery grave Some are wrecked on the headlands, some foundered at sea Some remembered in the pages of our history Now you must ensure no matter the cost That the legacy of these great ships is not lost repeat 1st verse and extend last chorus with: Out the bay and back again Sail away, sail away, sail away Sail away, sail away, sail away instrumental tag: D D7/C G/B Gm/Bb D |
