[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Come all you all I see,
men that to the [A]seas belong
[D]I'll [Em]tell [A]you of a fight[D] me boys,
[G]aboard the
[D]Notting[A] ham
It was [Em]up an
[Bm]Ir i[D]sh captain, his name was
[A]Somerville
With [Bm]courage bold, [D]did he control,
he played his [A]part full [D]well
It was on the 8th of
June, me boys, when I'd spit [A]at belay
[Em]On b[A]oard there came an o[D]rder,
a [G]ranker [D]far too [A]way
Bowing [Em]for t[Bm]he coast o[D]f
Ireland, our artist did run [A]so
There [Bm]to cruise and no[D]t refuse
against our [A]daring [D]foe
We had not sailed many lengths,
I say, before a [A]ship we spy
[D]She [Em]been[A] some lofty
[D]Frenchman,
come [G]a -bearing [D]down so [A]wide
She hailed [Bm]us in[D]
French, me boys,
and asked us from where [G]we [A]came
Our [Bm]answer was from
[D]Liverpool, and
London [A]is our [D]name
Oh pray, are you some man of war?
Pray, what [A]may you [D]be?
[Em]Oh, [A]then replied our c[D]aptain,
oh [G]then you [D]soon shall [A]see
Come [Bm]strike your
[D]English colours,
or else you shall bring [A]two
Since [Bm]you're so stout, you [D]shall give out,
or else we [A]will sink [D]you
The first broadside we gave to them,
it made them [A]fall to [D]wonder
[Em]Then [A]rigging and their [D]mainmast came,
a [G]-rattlin' [D]down like [A]thunder
We [Bm]drove them to [D]their quarter,
they could no longer [G]stay[A]
Our [Bm]guns to draw, we [D]made so sure,
we showed them
[A]British [D]play
So now we've took that ship,
me boys got speed, [A]us fair [D]wind
[Em]That [A]we might sail to
Ply[D]mouth town,
if the [G]heavens [D]proved so [A]kind
We'll drink a [Bm]health and [D]to our captain
No such warlike [A]souls to [Bm]him
We'll drink an[D]d never flinch
out of our [A]flowing [D]bow
