Jack Tarr The Sailor

Dm                   C           
When first I came to Liverpool I 
Dm   C        Dm
went upon the  spree
Me  money  at  last  I spent it fast
                C           A
 got drunk as  drunk could be
     Dm                            
And  when my money was all gone  it
                 C      A
 was then that I wanted more
      Dm                   C      
But a man must be blind to make up
             Dm    C        Dm
 his mind to go to sea once more

Dm                     C          
I spent the night with Angeline to
 Dm       C      Dm
 drunk to roll in bed

Me watch it was new and my money was
 too
                     C         A
And the morning with them she fled
    Dm                             
And as I roamed the streets of  
                   C         A
Bath the whores they all would roar

There goes Jarr Tarr the poor sailor
        Dm    C        Dm        
He must go to sea once more
Dm  C   Dm  C  Dm

Dm           C                Dm
As I walking down the steet I 
       C       Dm
ran into Rapper Brown
I  asked him for to take me in and 
             C         A
he looked at me with a frown
   Dm                              
He said last time  you was on board
                 C       A
     with me you job no  score
         Dm                        
But I'll take your advance and I'll
 C
 give you the chance
         Dm          C        Dm 
And I'll send you to sea once 
   Dm C Dm C  Dm
more
Dm                           C   
They shipped me aboard of  a 
         Dm            C     Dm
whaling ship bound for the Artic Sea

Where the cold winds  blow thru the 
frost and the snow
         C         A
Jamaica  rum would freeze
    Dm                             
A'las I had no luck with my gear 
            C       A
for I left my money ashore
       Dm                       C 
It was then that I wished that  I 
           Dm            C      Dm
was  there safe with the girl's
Dm
ashore

Dm                C              
Come all ye boat seafaring lads 
   Dm     C     Dm
who listen to my song
And when you come off them long trip
               C        A
 pray that you don't go wrong
Dm                            
Take my advice  drink no strong 
                          C    
drink don't go sleeping with no 
   A
whores
        Dm                     C  
But get married lads and have all 
              Dm       C      Dm
night  in and go to to sea no more
