Rusty Cage - The final voyage of the wailers essex

I do^Cne my level b^Emest, to whome^Amver's concerne^Cd For ^Cchildren of w^Emailer's, we a^Fll take a tur^Gn Now we l^Dmay in our o^Gars boat, us six m^Cen at sea^Am And tr^Dmavel for ho^Gme with rations fo^Cr three ^Am Two ou^Dmnces fresh ^Gwater and hardtack^C a day ^Am B^Fut we'll see Nantuck^Get again^C

For^Cty days and f^Emorty nights, ^Amwe followed th^Ce wind In t^Che southern P^Emacific, many ^Fmiles from la^Gnd The f^Dmirst mate o^Gf Essex, and few c^Crew with ^Amme Our c^Dmaptain Geor^Gge Pollard is lost^C at the s^Amea And ^DmI look to t^Ghe East and see no^Cthing but^Am blue So ^Fwhat can us starving^G men do?^C

But si^Cng, si^Gng, we'r^Fe on our way home^G Acro^Css the^G Pacific^F, and through the^G7 unknown Wit^Ch God as our shep^E7herd then no harm shall pa^Amss W^Fe'll be in Nant^Gucket at last^C

But ^C7oh, how this s^Fkin of blistered leather pu^F7lls tight on our skulls A^Cs rations all ^E7dwindle a^Amway And o^C7h, how our dreams^F every night, o^F7f our stomachs so full But^Dm awake to fi^Gnd water^C to last two more da^Amys Our sp^Dmirits all br^Goken, ou^Cr minds are all craz^Amed And ^Dmoh, how I'd ^Gkill for^C just one more go^Emod me^Amal But h^Fome's a littl^Ge farther awa^Cy

But si^Cng, si^Gng, we'r^Fe on our way home^G Acro^Css the^G Pacific^F, and through the^G7 unknown Wit^Ch God as our shep^E7herd then no harm shall pa^Amss W^Fe'll be in Nant^Gucket at last^C

But oh, w^C7hen I look at ^Fmy crewman, I see them look^F7ing back at me Hum^Canity gone fro^E7m their e^Amyes O^C7nce we were men o^Ff our god, and ^F7brothers at sea Tho^Dmse times wer^Gen't so ^Clong ago, but how qu^Amick they pass Wa^Dms once death^G a stran^Cger, now approaching^Am us fast Bu^Dmt we are Nan^Gtucket, ^Cthe proud and the st^Amrong For^F Nantucket, w^Ge must travel^C on

But ^C7oh, how these ^Fhunger pangs drive all the ^F7thoughts in my brain A^Cnd body dries ^E7up in the^Am sun O^C7h, cause it's mea^Ft and fresh wat^F7er that the six of us crave So^Dm six bits of^G paper a^Cre tossed in the cap^Am And^Dm six men rea^Gch in an^Cd each pull out a sc^Amrap And^Dm one man of ^Gsix, wit^Ch the unlucky draw ^Am I^Fs one man to ^Ghelp feed us ^Call
