What Have We Got

D
Good people give ear to me story,
                     C           D
pay attention, and none of your lip,
for I've brought you five lads and 
their daddy,
                 C           D
intending to build ye's a ship.

D
Wallsend is wor habitation,
                     C           D
it's the place we was all born and 
bred
and there's nay finer lads in the 
nation
                     C       D
and none are more gallantly led.

G

[Chorus]
A                          D     
What have we got, but the buzzer 
           E
in the morning?
          A                        
Aye, and what have we got, but the 
  D           E
laying of a keel?
        A                          
And what have we got, but the 
D                E
cranes above us soaring?
A                        D       
The commotion and the clamour in 
      E              A
the welding of the steel?


[Chorus]
A                          D     
What have we got, but the mist 
           E
upon the river?
          A                        
Tell me, what have we got, but the 
  D           E
noise inside the hold?
        A                          
Oh, what have we got, but the arse 
D                E
end of the weather?
A                        D       
Where we work in horizontal rain,
      E              A
 and shiver in the cold.

A                          D

Aye, you've got to die of something,

[Chorus]
G                          C     
What have ye got, all you men 
             D
what's fit and able?
G                          C     
What have ye got, for the 
             D
straining in your neck?
G                            C   
What have ye got, when you're 
               D
laid out on the table?
         Em             D         
And the snapping of a cable when 
     C                G
the rigging hits the deck?


[Chorus]
G                          C     
What have ye got, but the loyalty
       D
 of brothers?
G                          C     
What have ye got, but this union 
        D
of the dock?
G                          C     
What have ye got, a bacon 
             D
sandwich from your mother?
         Em        D              
Not a promise of another with the 
C                A
punching of the clock.
