(CHORUS)

^DNavigator, Navigator, rise u^Gp and be stron^Dg, ^DThe morning is he^Gre and there's ^Dwork to be don^A7e, ^DSo take your pick and your sho^Gvel and the bold dynami^D7te, ^DFor to shift a few ^Gtons of this ear^Dthly deligh^At, ^DYes, to shift a few ^Gtons of this ear^Dthly deligh^At.

They died in their hundreds, with no sign to mark where, Save the brass in the pocket of the entrepreneur, By landslide and rockblast they got buried so deep, That in death if not life they'll have peace while they sleep (CHORUS) (FILL) D//G//D/// // /A D//G//D// /A/A7/D (SORT OF!) Their mark on this land is still seen and still laid, The way for a commerce where vast fortunes were made, The supply of an Empire where the sun never set, Which is now deep in darkness but the railway's there yet (CHORUS) END:FILL ***Version 2*** by Brian Trudell INTRO: E----------------------3---| B----------------------0---| G----0-2-4-5-4-2-0-----0---| D--0---------------2-4-0---| A----------------------2---| E----------------------3---|
