Intro: F G D   F G D   F G Bb   F G D 

verse 1: 
                                  Asus4 
These are just the simple facts I will relate to you  
       G/A                              Asus4 
Though they are not connected, each and every one is true  
        D                         Asus4 
If they seem a bit untidy, well unravelling them is fun  
  G/A                              Asus4 
I will not stand corrected, I have not harmed anyone

verse 4: F G Hear the steeple bells ring out above my lobster pots D F G Asus4 I might be out here fishing, man, but that ain't where it stops F G D F G D The mouths I feed are many and they all say, "Thanks a lot" F G D Asus4 They just let it ride VERSE 5: Asus4 One day when I'm old and grey and consider what's gone by G/A Asus4 I always will be proud of every tear I've ever cried D Asus4 And all of the old jokes we told around the candle light G/A Asus4 To all those tender damsels who had helped us in the night
