Triangle

[INTRO:] C

[VERSE 1:]

Oh, the gist of it all is the first 
day of fall
Is the day when my ship will set 
F
sail
    G
The best of all friends will say 
good-bye again
There's still time for one last 
         C
glass of ale


[VERSE 2:]

We'll sail away proudly, our backs 
to the wall
On a southwind and lots of good 
F
cheer
    G
And when we've looked over the white
 cliffs of Dover
                        C
We'll be in Bahama next year


[VERSE 3:]

From Bermuda on down the Triangle 
around us
                          F
Will teach us a lesson or two
        G
There's many a mate who unevenly 
stated
                              C
The course he had charted was true


[VERSE 4:]

"Don't worry 'bout me", he said, "Go
 down below
                          F
Give a certified sailor a turn
     G
Just sip on your rum or I'll give 
you my thumb and say,
                           C
'Son, you got something to learn'"


[CHORUS:]

It's a mighty hard way to come down
                            G
And a mighty fine way to be found

   C          F            C
So hand me my grip from an old 
           F
sailing ship
        C           F          G
Put the kiss of the dawn on my lips
                               G7  
With some luck tonight I might have
                 C
 her at my fingertips


[VERSE 5:]

Oh, the best of all things is the 
first day of spring
                              F
When the water runs heavy and fast
    G
The mermaids have all gone to Davy 
Jones' Ball
And it seems their first trip was 
      C
their last


[VERSE 6:]

They had so much fun they don't wish
 to return
To the beach where they lay all day 
F
long
       G
They'd rather stay under and boy 
it's no wonder
                                C
When all the rock lobsters roll on

It's a mighty fine way to be found


[VERSE 7:]

Triangle, Triangle, oh, see my ship 
dangle
                          F
We're bound for Bahama my friend
     G
Like lovers like danger, like babies
 like mangers
                              C
But that's where my storybook ends


[VERSE 8:]

Like soldiers of fortune, believers 
in god
And all kings without crosses to 
F
bear
    G
All sweepers and cleaners with no 
misdemeanours
                            C
Should try the Triangle out there


[CHORUS:]

It's a mighty hard way to come down
                            G
And a mighty fine way to be found
   C          F            C
So hand me my grip from an old 
           F
sailing ship
        C           F          G
Put the kiss of the dawn on my lips
                               G7  
With some luck tonight I might have
                 C
 her at my fingertips


[VERSE 9:]

When she took her last tumble, the 
sea bottom rumbled
                          F
There was no confusion or blame
    G
The captain said, "Men we must 
answer again
                             C
To the sea, so ye may not complain"


[VERSE 10:]

And as they lay sleeping down there 
in the deep
With their faces turned up to the 
F
stars
  G
A tuna fish turned to a mermaid in 
bed and said
                        C
"There goes another sandbar"


[CHORUS:]

It's a mighty hard way to come down
                            G
And a mighty fine way to be found
   C          F            C
So hand me my grip from an old 
           F
sailing ship
        C           F          G
Put the kiss of the dawn on my lips
                               G7  
With some luck tonight I might have
                 C
 her at my fingertips
