Phil Ochs - Pleasures of the harbor

^CAnd the ^Fship sets the ^G7sail. They've ^Emlived the tale To ^Amcarry to the ^Dmshore. ^F6Straining at the ^Coars Or ^E7staring from the ^Amrail.

And the ^Csea ^Fbids fare^G7well She waves in ^Emswells And ^Amsends them on their ^Dmway. ^Fmaj7Time has been her ^Cpay And ^E7time will have to ^Amtell.

Oh! ^FSoon your sailing will be o-^Emver. ^A#Come and take the pleasures of the ^Char ^G- ^Ambor.

And the ^Canchor ^Fhits the ^G7sand. The hungry ^Emhands Have ^Amtied them to the ^Dmport. The ^F6hour will be ^Emshort For ^E7leisure on the ^Amland.

And the ^Cgirls ^Fscent the ^G7air. They seem so ^Emfair With ^Ampaint on their ^Dmface. ^F6Soft is their em^Cbrace to ^E7lead them up the ^Amstairs.

Oh! ^FSoon your sailing will be o-^Emver. ^A#Come and take the pleasures of the ^Char ^G- ^Ambor.

In the ^Croom ^Fdark and ^G7dim; A touch of ^Emskin. He ^Amasks her of her ^Dmname. She ^F6answers with no ^Cshame And ^E7not a sense of ^Amsin.

'Til the ^Cfingers ^Fdraw the ^G7blinds. A Sip of ^Emwine; The ^Amcigarette of ^Dmdoubt. The ^F6candle is blown ^Cout. The ^E7darkness is so ^Amkind.

Oh! ^FSoon your sailing will be o-^Emver. ^A#Come and take the pleasures of the ^Char ^G- ^Ambor.

And the ^Cshadows ^Fframe the ^G7light. Same old ^Emsight. The ^Amthrill has blown ^Dmaway. Now ^F6all alone they ^Clay, Two ^E7strangers in the ^Amnight.

'Til his ^Cheart ^Fskips a ^G7beat. He's on his ^Emfeet. To ^Amshipmates he must ^Dmjoin. She's ^F6counting up the ^Ccoins. He's ^E7swallowed by the ^Amstreet.

Oh! ^FSoon your sailing will be o-^Emver. ^A#Come and take the pleasures of the ^Char ^G- ^Ambor.

In the ^Cbar ^Fhangs a ^G7cloud. The whiskey's ^Emloud. There's l^Amaughter in their ^Dmeyes. The ^F6lonely in dis - ^Cguse Are ^E7clinging to the ^Amcrowd.

And the ^Cbottle ^Ffills the ^G7glass. The haze is ^Emfast. He's ^Amtrembling for the ^Dmtaste Of ^F6passion gone to ^Cwaste In ^E7memories of the ^Ampast.

Oh! ^FSoon your sailing will be o-^Emver. ^A#Come and take the pleasures of the ^Char ^G- ^Ambor.

In the ^Calley, ^Fred with ^G7rain Cry of ^Empain. For ^Amlove was but a ^Dmsmile, ^F6Teasing all the ^Cwhile Now ^E7dancing down the ^Amdrain.

'Til the ^Cboys ^Freach the ^G7dock They gently ^Emmock Lift ^Amhim on their ^Dmbacks. Lay ^F6him on his ^Crack And ^E7leave beneath the ^Amlight.

Oh! ^FSoon your sailing will be o-^Emver. ^A#Come and take the pleasures of the ^Char ^G- ^Ambor.

And the ^Cship ^Fsets the ^G7sail. They've lived the ^Emtale To ^Amcarry from the ^Dmshore, ^F6Straining at the ^Coars Or ^E7staring from the ^Amrail.

And the ^Csea ^Fbids fare^G7well. She waves in ^Emswells And ^Amsends them on their ^Dmway. Time ^F6has been her ^Cpay And ^E7time will have to ^Amtell.

Oh! ^FSoon your sailing will be o-^Emver. ^A#Come and take the pleasures of the ^Char ^G- ^Ambor. ----------------------------------------------- NOTES: 1. I play the G in the "harbor" phrase with just the open DGB strings. (Try it) 2. I sometimes switch the F6 with Fmaj7 (example in 2nd verse only).
