Triangle

Written by Gordon Lightfoot

	  		



Intro: C 

verse 1: 

Oh, the gist of it all is the first day of fall  
                                 F 
Is the day when my ship will set sail  
    G   
The best of all friends will say good-bye again  
                                         C 
There's still time for one last glass of ale  


verse 2: 

We'll sail away proudly, our backs to the wall  
                                F 
On a southwind and lots of good cheer  
    G   
And when we've looked over the white cliffs of Dover  
                        C 
We'll be in Bahama next year 


verse 3: 

From Bermuda on down the Triangle around us  
                          F 
Will teach us a lesson or two  
        G   
There's many a mate who unevenly stated  
                              C 
The course he had charted was true  


verse 4: 

"Don't worry 'bout me", he said, "Go down below  
                          F 
Give a certified sailor a turn  
     G   
Just sip on your rum or I'll give you my thumb and say, 
                           C 
'Son, you got something to learn'" 

tabchorus
It's a mighty hard way to come down G And a mighty fine way to be found C F C F So hand me my grip from an old sailing ship C F G Put the kiss of the dawn on my lips G7 C With some luck tonight I might have her at my fingertips

VERSE 5: Oh, the best of all things is the first day of spring F When the water runs heavy and fast G The mermaids have all gone to Davy Jones' Ball C And it seems their first trip was their last VERSE 6: They had so much fun they don't wish to return F To the beach where they lay all day long G They'd rather stay under and boy it's no wonder C When all the rock lobsters roll on It's a mighty fine way to be found VERSE 7: Triangle, Triangle, oh, see my ship dangle F We're bound for Bahama my friend G Like lovers like danger, like babies like mangers C But that's where my storybook ends VERSE 8: Like soldiers of fortune, believers in god F And all kings without crosses to bear G All sweepers and cleaners with no misdemeanours C Should try the Triangle out there

VERSE 9: When she took her last tumble, the sea bottom rumbled F There was no confusion or blame G The captain said, "Men we must answer again C To the sea, so ye may not complain" verse 10: And as they lay sleeping down there in the deep F With their faces turned up to the stars G A tuna fish turned to a mermaid in bed and said C "There goes another sandbar"
tabchorus
It's a mighty hard way to come down G And a mighty fine way to be found C F C F So hand me my grip from an old sailing ship C F G Put the kiss of the dawn on my lips G7 C With some luck tonight I might have her at my fingertips
