Eamon Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Eamon swallowed anchor [G]and stepped
himself ashore
Set seaboot down on cobblestone
he'd never trod before
A lone fog on the harbour
did obscure the rigging lights
And the terra firma tavern cast

[Verse 2]
a warm and glowing light
[Em]Sing fare [D]thee well[G][Em]
Calm [D]seas or [G]swell[C]
Red [G]even[C]ing [G]sky[D]

[Interlude 1]
Home and dry
[G]

[Verse 3]
Eamon went to sea for life [G]the
day he turned fourteen
On a merchant cargo steamer
bound for Kwajalein
By way of Cartagena he wound
up in Istanbul
Nineteen times around the horn
would make a Dutchman [Em]drool
Sing [D]fare thee

[Verse 4]
[G]well[Em]
Calm [D]seas or [G]swell[C]
Red evening [G]sky[D]

[Interlude 2]
Home and dry
[G]
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
[G]Now Eamon headed inland 'til he
could not smell the sea
Where they'd never seen a boat,
that's where he went to be
And they dressed him in his
peacoat, pulled his seaboots on
Stitched him in his hammock and
sent him sailing [Em]home
Sing [D]fare thee

[Verse 6]
[G]well[Em]
Calm [D]seas or [G]swell[C]
Red evening [G]sky[D]
Home and dry
[G]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
Sing [D]fare thee [G]well[Em]
Calm [D]seas or [G]swell[C]
Just close your [G]eyes[D]

[Outro 1]
Home and dry
[G]
