The Man With The Blue Dolphin

C

[Verse 1]
C
It was just like him, he had to pick

A boat gone from dowdy to derelict
   Dm           G                 
In half a dozen years of searching
        F     C
 for an owner
C
She maybe left her heart in the 
harbour mud

But she really caught his at the 
flood
       Dm                G        
And he wonders how she knew that 
                     C
she was waiting for a loner

[Verse 2]
C
Blue Dolphin, built by the Rhuland 
men

She's lying on the bottom again
     Dm             G             
With only him to care the Bluenose
        F     C
 had a sister
C
He lost the house and he sold the 
car

His wife walked out, so he hit the 
bars
    Dm            G               
And hit up every friend to raise 
   C
the Blue Dolphin

[Chorus]
F                       G        
And even afloat she's a hole in 
                   C
the water where his money goes
             G                     
Every dollar goes and it's driving 
    F      C
him crazy
F                               G
He pounds his fists white on the 
dock in the night
            Am
And cries, "I'm gonna win!"
    Dm                   G
And licks the blood away
                                C
And he's gonna raise the Dolphin

C Dm G F

[Verse 3]
C
Blue Dolphin's lying like a wounded 
whale

She's hungry for a scrap of a sail
   Dm              G              
To get her underway, back to salt 
F     C
water
C
Now there's a man lying spent in the
 winter sun
C
He wonders what the hell he has done
    Dm               G             c
And who would ever pay to save his 
schooner daughter


[Chorus]
F                       G        
And even afloat she's a hole in 
                   C
the water where his money goes
             G                     
Every dollar goes and it's driving 
    F      C
him crazy
F                               G
He pounds his fists white on the 
dock in the night
            Am
And cries, "I'm gonna win!"
    Dm                   G
And licks the blood away
                                C
And he's gonna raise the Dolphin

F                       G        
And even afloat she's a hole in 
                   C
the water where his money goes
             G                     
Every dollar goes and it's driving 
    F      C
him crazy
F                               G
He pounds his fists white on the 
dock in the night
            Am
And cries, "I'm gonna win!"
    Dm                   G
And licks the blood away
                                C
And he's gonna raise the Dolphin
