The Marystown Expedition

         Dm                        
Upon St. Crispin’s Day we made for 
  Am
a distant shore
         F                      C
from the harbour mouth of Montego
        Dm                       
We were packed to the deck with a 
         Am
rash of Nelson’s blood
     F                        
on a Northern course where the 
            C
tradewinds blow
      Cm                           
Forty nights on the deck of an old 
    Bb
West Indiaman
     Cm                    Bb
shed little light on what I know
    Gm            Am  Bb          
One day this will be over, this I 
F
know


[Verse]
     Dm                      Am
I remember you as the girl I loved 
so well
        F                     C
and the lady of my hearth and home
          Dm                       
So I must be the man with a horde 
  Am
of tales to tell
      F                         C
and a bigger horde of silks and gold
   Cm                   Bb
Do you resent me for my roving ways?
        Cm                   Bb
Are you still the lady that I know?
    Gm            Am  Bb          
One day this will be over, this I 
F
know

[Verse]
        Dm                    Am
Ne’er a sabre have I drawn in anger
       F                         C
‘nor a flintlock have I fired at all
           Dm                      
Though the midnight watch has yet 
  Am
to wear me down
       F                     C
I grow weary of the heaven’s thrall
  Cm                       
I vowed to return one day a 
Bb
different man
        Cm                       
not the green and witless boy you 
Bb
know
    Gm            Am  Bb          
One day this will be over, this I 
F
know

Relief, praise the gods for the 
still and moment of respite
The thrill of sleeping through the 
         E7        G             D
night is lost on a drone such as I
D*
The taste of victory calls, yet a 
shadow of a feeling lingers on
Yet the blow of whores and devil 
             E7        G          
spawn didn’t break my confidence

at all

I think these things too loud
    F#m            B
I’m nothing if not proud
  G#m               C#
I seek the means to thrive

Not scouring to merely survive
