White Port

capo 3 

First Chorus is a capella 



    D                              G               D 
For all its want of wanderin?, the sky was sad and blue 
    D                             A 
The grass was green from envy, no roots under my shoes 
  G                                  D                   A 
I ride the longest, hardest, fastest routes there are to ride 
    D                                    A                D 
And all is done with style and grace and white port at my side   (yodel) 


  D                               G           D 
I came into the world of things a pauper I am told 
D                               A 
For the things I never got, I'm thankful to my bones 
     G                                 D                A 
With all its lack of gold and green my life has good supply 
   D                                A                D 
Of treasure in the silver stars and white port at my side 

REPEAT Chorus 

   D                               G                D 
My Denver lass I promised that I'd be out west that day 
  D                             A 
I headed east as fast as my two feet could back away 
  G                                  D                 A 
All compliments and commitments I've dispensed far and wide 
    D                                  A                D 
But all was said with smiling face and white port at my side 

REPEAT Chorus 

SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS 

    D                              G           D 
Now pirate lads and scallywags are brethren to me 
  D                                     A 
A sailin' man with no good plan, that's something I could be 
    G                                 D              A 
But just as quick will I jump ship if told to get in line 
D                                A                D 
Send my bones to Davy Jones with white port at my side 

REPEAT Chorus 

    D                              G              D 
Now lastly I will say that I ain't seen a bad run yet 
    D                                    A 
An? when the boss says time to get, I'll get with no regret 
     G                                     D              A 
With heaven made I'll stake some shade and air myself out right 
D                                  A                D 
Double check that none suspect the white port at my side 
     G                                       D                 A 
With heaven made I'll stake some shade, I'll stay there till I die 
D                                  A                D 
Double check that none suspect the white port at my side 

REPEAT Chorus 


  G                                  D                   A 
I ride the longest, hardest, fastest routes there are to ride 
    D                                    A                D 
And all is done with style and grace and white port at my side   (yodel)
