The Terrible Sea

G                                 
The wind howls mournful and low 
                   Am
o'er the hole in his heart
G                                 
Left a note for his Mother to say 
                   Am
he'd be joinin' his Da'
C                             
He said "The Devil's all pissed 
           G
'cause I danced with his daughter
C                                 
I were born to be hung, so I don't
       G
 fear the water

If he wants me he can chase me 
                G
below the terrible sea."
G                                 
There's a pinch of tobacco tucked 
                   Am
into the sleeve of his coat
G                                 
And a dirty black penny to pay the
                   Am
 old man on the boat
C                         
He honours the rocks with a 
               G
cruciform pose
C                                 
Singin' "my love is like a red, 
       G
red rose"
C                             D  
In a single explosion he's gone 
                G
to the terrible sea
