capo @ 3rd Fret
Intro:
Em   Bm   D    Em
Em   Bm   Em   Em
I uEmsed to be a fisherman, on the Bmicy crests we'd Emride
Like a bEmanshee on the wind, we'd sGail the Aocean Emwide.
From the sGhoals of Yarmouth bay to NeDwfoundland we'd go
and we'd sChout, shout, shout, Dshout at the Devil down below
Em  Bm
Out Emto the snows of Greenland, inBmto the screaming gEmale
OEmut into the storm chGasing dAown the wEmhale
WGhen the harpoon struck the mDighty fish would pull
and we'd sChout, shout, shout, Dshout at the Devil down below
Em  Bm
In our bEmunks we'd find no solace, no cBmomfort just reEmmorse
We'd cEmurse at the bad fortune that Gset us Aon this Emcourse
GGathered 'round the lamplight we'd sDing both high and low
and we'd sChout, shout, shout, Dshout at the Devil down below
Em
From the rEmocks of Lizard Reef to PBmlymouth we are bEmound
The skEmipper's yelling blood as the Gjagged Acliffs we Emround
Jack DGuggan in the forsail, Billy RDeilly in the crow
and we'd sChout, shout, shout, Dshout at the Devil down below
Em   Bm   D    Em
Em   Bm   Em   Em
OEmnly when we'd quenched the mBmighty vessel's appeEmtite
Would the cEmaptain tell us, "Lads, we'll be gGoing Ahome toEmnight"
We'd tGurn to the raging sea and rDaise our fists and yell,
"You won't be sCeeing us today you won't be sDeeing us in EmHell!"
Em       Bm   Em
Em       G A  Em
G        D
C        Bm
Once asEmhore we'd head into the pub for a tBmankard full of Emale
One Emday would turn into a week and the tGime would Acome to Emsail
We'd sGay goodbye to the girls to we love, then oDff from the shore we'd row
and we'd sChout, shout, shout, Dshout at the Devil down bEmelow
and we'd sChout, shout, shout, shout, Dshout at the Devil down bEmelow
Em   Bm   D    Em
Em   Bm   Em   Em
