Verse 1:

C5                 F5
Searching for the best break
C5                      G5
The black forties could afford them
C5                     F5
Came these ever-proud world-renowned
F5      C5    G5
Rowdy, roving men
C5                    F5
With a firmness and a purpose
C5                  G5
That so many did dismiss
C5                         F5
Sailed these huddled human ballasts on their
F5        C5    G5
stinking coffin ships


Chorus:

F5                        G5
From the prison of their lonely hearts
Continues after the ad
F5                     G5
They labored long and hard
F5               G5          (start playing intro)
Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C.


Verse 2:  play like verse 1

Intelligent, repectable
But made of modest means
With an independent spirit,
So full of hopes and dreams
Opportunity denied them in a
Doomed and starving land
Came these openhearted kindly spirits
Of a truly threatened man


Chorus:  play like other chorus

From the prison of their lonely hearts
They labored long and hard
Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C.


Verse 3:  mostly just bass, but the guitar plays in the spots where I put he chords

Searching for the best break
The black forties could afford them
Came these ever-proud world-renowned
F5      C5    G5
Rowdy, roving men
With a firmness and a purpose
That so many did dismiss
             C5
Sailed these huddled human ballasts on their
F5        C5     G5
stinking coffin ships


Chorus:  play like other choruses

From the prison of their lonely hearts
They labored long and hard
Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C
The B.A.C.
The B.A.C.
The B.A.C.
