Paul And Storm

Text File

Dm Gm The ship sailed into harbor after fifteen months at sea Dm A The captain hit the tavern with his crew of fifty-three Dm Gm After drinking up their pay they staggered through the town Dm A Dm But all the inns and public houses turned the sailors down Dm Gm The captain said "Fear not, me lads you all can come with me Dm A I live just 'round the corner, and you all can stay for free" Dm Gm But when the captain's wife awoke upon the break of day Dm A Dm They say that you could hear her wailin' Clear to Bot'ny Bay...
