  Am                        Em    
I thought to spend my early years 
  F                  Em
across the open sea
     Am                     Em    
With not a care but finding all 
  G                   A5/E    Em
the wealth that I could keep
    F                        
Our ship she stood tall with 26 
Am          G                Em
sails, a sight for all to see
    F              Em             
Not 3 weeks in she took a good 
        F              Em       
knock that sent her right down to 
   Am
the deep


           Am                 
And as the sky went dim I saw 
Fmaj7                G6          
several fins guide myself and the
      Dsus2/A
 company
     F                         Am   
                 G6              D5 
(w/ octave on 5th fret, high E 
string)
To a port in the storm with an inn 
who’s sign bore a star adorned in 
leaves

N.C.
When the night is long and we’re all
 full of dread
Oh where am I to go
For we’re all good and lost and 
we’re missing our beds

   Am      G       Am
Oh lady oh take us home!
           Am                    
When we’ve run through our stores 
         Am
and our taking is high
          Cadd9           Dsus2/A
And we’ve nowhere left to roam
         F                         
Oh we’ll keep our chins up and 
  Em
we’ll look to the sky
   Am      G    G/E   Am
Oh lady oh take us    home!

       Am                     
When I went to go pay the landlady 
Fmaj7
my share
      G6                         
I was struck by the sheen of her 
Dsus2/A
copper red hair
        F                          
And she wouldn’t take our money but
 G
 pointed us where
         E
We could find the main land so we 
hauled a boat there

[Chorus]
         Am
When the night is long and we’re all
 full of dread
   Cadd9         D
Oh where am I to go
          F                    
For we’re all good and lost and 
       Em
we’re missing our beds
   Am      G    G/E  Am
Oh lady oh take us   home!

           Am
When we’ve run through our stores 
and our taking is high
          Cadd9           D
And we’ve nowhere left to roam
         F                         
Oh we’ll keep our chins up and 
  Em
we’ll look to the sky
   Am      G    G/E  Am
Oh lady oh take us   home!

[Verse]
          Am                     
When we’d found a new vessel, no 
Fmaj7
more than a year
       G6                       
On the bow did we see that same 
Dsus2/A
lady appear
         F                         
When our cook stepped before her, a
 Am
 compass in hand
        A5/E                      
And she lead us to where we could 
Dsus2/A
get back to land

[Chorus]
         E                       A
When the night is long and we’re all
 full of dread
   C             D
Oh where am I to go
          F                    
For we’re all good and lost and 
       E
we’re missing our beds
   Am      G    G/E  Am
Oh lady oh take us   home!
           Am                    
When we’ve run through our stores 
         Am
and our taking is high
          Cadd9           Dsus2/A
And we’ve nowhere left to roam
         F                         
Oh we’ll keep our chins up and 
  Em
we’ll look to the sky
   Am      G    G/E  Am
Oh lady oh take us   home!
