Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]It [G]was[D] homeward bound,
one [G]night on the [Em]deep
Swinging in my hammock, I [Asus4]fell asleep
[D]I dreamed a dream,
[G]and I thought it [D]true[G]
[Em]Concernin' Frank[Asus4]lin and [A]his
[G]gallant [D]crew[G][D][G]
[D]With a hundred seamen he [G]sailed away
[Em]To the frozen ocean in
the [D]month [Asus4]of May[A]
[D]To seek a passage [G]round the [D]pole
[Em]Where we poor [Asus4]sea men t[A]o
some [G]time [D]go[G][D][G]
[D]Through cruel hardships
they [G]mainly strove
[Em]The ships on mountains
of [D]ice [A]was drawn
[D]Only the Eskimo in his [G]skin [D]ca [G]noe,[D]
[Em]Was the only o[Asus4]ne that [A]ever
[G]came [D]through.[G][D][G]
[D]Baffin Bay, where [G]the whale -fishes blow
[Em]The fate of Franklin,
no [Asus4]man may k[A]now[Asus4][D]
The fate of Franklin, no [G]tongue can [D]tell
Lord [Em]Franklin, [A]along with his sailor[G]s
To [D]do the [G]world[D][G][D][G][Em][Asus4]
[A][D][G][D][Em][A][G][D][G][D][G]
An[D]d now my burden, i[G]t gives me pain
[Em]For the long -lost Franklin
I will [Asus4]cross the[A] lane
[D]Ten thousand pounds
would [G]I freely g[D]ive
[Em]To sail on t[A]he highs[Asus4],
my [A]Lord [G]Franklin Dooley
