Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Com[G]e all ye[Bm] lads[G], draw near to me,[D]
that [G]I b[A]e not f[G]orsaken
[D]This day[G] was los[A]t the Jeannie
[G]C. and my [A]living has [G]been taken
[A]I'll go [D]to sea no more

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][A][Asus4][A]

[Verse 2]
We set [G]out [Bm]his d[G]ay in th[A]e brig[G]ht sunri[D]se,
the [G]same [A]as any [G]other[D]
My [G]son and [D]I a[A]nd old John[G] Price
in the [A]boat named for [G]my mother
[A]I'll go to sea [D]no more

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][A][D][A]

[Verse 3]
Now it's [G]well [Bm]you [G]know what the fish[A]ing [G]has been[D],
it's been [G]scarce [A]and hard and [G]cruel[D]
But this day, by [A]God, we sure caught [G]cod,
and we [A]sang and we laughed like [G]fools
[A]I'll go to sea [D]no more

[Interlude 3]
[D][G]
[Asus4][A][D][A][Bm][G]
[Bm]I'll never

[Verse 4]
[A]know what [G]it was we struck,
[D]but str[G]ike we did[A] like thu[G]nder[D]
John [Bm]Price give [A]a cry and pitched [G]over[D]side.
[G]Now it's for[A]ever he's gone und[G]er
[A]I'll go to sea [D]no more

[Verse 5]
Now [G]a leak we've sprung,
let [A]there be [G]no [D]delay if [G]the Jeannie [A]C. we're [G]saving[D]
John [Bm]Price [G]is [Bm]drow[A]n'd and slip[G]'d away.
So I'll [A]patch the hole while [G]you're bailing
[A]I'll go to sea [D]no more

[Interlude 4]
[D][G][A]

[Verse 6]
But no [Bm]leak I [G]found [A]fro[G]m bow to hold.[D]
No [G]rock it [A]was that [G]got [D]her
But [Bm]what I [G]found [A]made me heart sto[G]p cold,
for [A]every seam [G]poured water
[A]I'll go to sea [D]no more

[Interlude 5]
[D][G][A][Asus4][A]

[Verse 7]
[Bm]My God, I cr[A]ied as[D] she w[G]ent down[D].
That [G]boat [D]was [A]like no [G]other[D]
My [G]father [D]built [A]her when I was[G] nine,
and [A]named her for [G]my mother
[A]I'll go [D]to sea no more

[Interlude 6]
[D][G][A][D][A]

[Verse 8]
And [Bm]sure I could have [G]another [D]made in
[G]the boat [Bm]shop [A]down in Do[G]ver[D]
But I [Bm]would not [A]love the keel [G]they
laid like the [A]one the waves roll [G]over
I'll [A]go to sea [D]no more

[Verse 9]
So come [Bm]all [G]ye lad[A]s, dra[G]w near to me,[D]
that [G]I be n[A]ot fors[G]aken
[D]This day[Bm] was[A] lost the Jeannie C.[G]
and my [A]whole life has [G]been taken
I'll [A]go to sea no more:
