The Marystown Expedition

	  		
Verse 

         Dm                          Am 
Upon St. Crispin’s Day we made for a distant shore 
         F                      C 
from the harbour mouth of Montego 
        Dm                                Am 
We were packed to the deck with a rash of Nelson’s blood 
     F                                    C 
on a Northern course where the tradewinds blow 
      C#m                               Bb 
Forty nights on the deck of an old West Indiaman 
     C#m                    Bb 
shed little light on what I know 
    G             Am  Bb          F 
One day this will be over, this I 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                         Am 
So I must be the man with a horde of tales to tell 
      F                         C 
and a bigger horde of silks and gold 
   C#m                   Bb 
Do you resent me for my roving ways? 
        C#m                   Bb 
Are you still the lady that I know? 
    G             Am  Bb          F 
One day this will be over, this I know 


Interlude 
D            C      F  Am  D   D  F  G  A  F  D  F 


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


Interlude 
D            C      F  Am  D   D  F  G  A  F  D  F
