[Verse 1]
[C]We'[G]re [C]the
U .S.
Power
Squadron and the [F]anchor is our [C]sign
For its slow and dragging seamen
[F]ship our membership [C]to shine
We have learned to box the compass
[F]when it doesn't counter [C]punch
We not only shoot the stars but [F]we
can [C]also shoot our [G]lunch
[C]After class we all assemble
where there's [F]sawdust on the [C]floor
We take out our notes for study,
[F]and then [C]over them we pour.
All this work outside the classroom
moves our [F]chances up a [C]notch,
So we sight the constellations
[F]through a glass of [C]rye or [G]scotch.
[C]We have boned and crammed on
Bowditch,
Chapman [F]taught us all he [C]knows.
When we read the geodetics,
[F]we could [C]smell the compass rose.
Our grasp of naval language
over[F]aws the simple folks,
[C]To make sure it's all authentic,
[F]we read
Popeye [C]in [G]the jokes.
[C]We advance from simple seamanship,
we're [F]pi lots in our [C]term.
Then we're senior navigators,
[F]and our grasp is [C]sure and firm.
Our instructor's final message is,
with [F]me no more you're [C]moored.
Any boat is safe with you, my [F]lads,
as [C]long as it's [G]insured.[C]
You
