Great Big Sea - England

We were ^Cfar from the ^Fshores of ^G5Engl^Cand ^CFar from our ^Fchildren and w^G5ives To ^Fplay our ^Chand in the ^G5newfound ^Cland where the wind cuts ^Flike a ^G5knife we were ^Cfar from the ^Fshores of ^G5Engl^Cand

We ^Cshipped on board the ^G5Marya^Cnne to find a ^Fbetter ^G5life and we ^Fwalked ac^Cross the ^G5wate^Cr when she broke up ^Fon the ^G5ice We ^Ccame ashore in ^G5Carbo^Cnear with ^Cnothing but ^Four ^G5rights and I ^Fwondered ^Cif I ^G5e'er a^Cgain would see my ^FLondon ^G5Lights

We ^Cspend our days a^G5mid the ^Cwaves working ^Cwater, ^Fhook and ^G5twine we'd ^Fgo for ^Cweeks with ^G5blistered ^Ccheeks waiting for the ^Fsun to ^G5shine but as ^Clong as the sky hold ^G5over ^Cus we ^Cwill not ^Ftaste the ^G5brine and we'll ^Fcurse the ^Ccod with the ^G5fear of ^CGod as we haul in ^Fev'ry ^G5line

Should ^Cwe find ^Ffortune's ^G5favo^Cur, and be spared ^Ffrom the ^G5gale we will ^Flive off ^Chonest ^G5labo^Cur with our hearts as ^Fbig as ^G5sails but if ^CI should ^Fdie don't ^G5bury ^Cme or leave me ^Fto the^G5 sea just ^Fsend my ^Cbones back ^G5to my ^Chome where my spirit ^Fcan be ^G5free
