CFCF
Oh the Anne Louise is waiting for a crew to jump aboard
CFCF
To take her out to deeper waters further from the shore
CG
For its quiet and still in the Harbor,
CG
not a voice to be heard in the bay
CF
But the winds coming down from Norway
CGC
and there's plenty to be done today
[Chorus]
CC
Oh, cast off me lads,
FF
we'll set the sails harding,
CF
'cause she's been gasping for some action
GG
out on the open seas,
CFCG
oh there's nothing quite like pitching along at dangerous speeds,
CFCGC
with my hand on the tiller of my sky blue westerly
[Verse 2]
CFCF
Oh we've coffee and we've bacon and we've everything on board,
CFCF
so cried the crew: "cast off from this safe haven we've been moored,
CGCG
for there's salt wind in our lungs boys and salt blood in our veins,
CFCGC
but the wind's coming down from Norway making horses beyond the cranes
[Chorus]
CC
Oh, cast off me lads,
FF
we'll set the sails harding,
CF
'cause she's been gasping for some action
GG
out on the open seas,
CFCG
oh there's nothing quite like pitching along at dangerous speeds,
CFCGC
with my hand on the tiller of my sky blue westerly
[Verse 3]
CFCF
Oh she may be kind of small but she's got everything and more,
CFCF
for a crew of hopeless sea-dogs to lose sight of the shore,
CGCG
oh we may be back in a month or we may be back in a day,
CFCGC
but the wind's coming down from Norway and there's no way that we can stay
[Chorus]
CC
Oh, cast off me lads,
FF
we'll set the sails harding,
CF
'cause she's been gasping for some action
GG
out on the open seas,
CFCG
oh there's nothing quite like pitching along at dangerous speeds,
CFCGC
with my hand on the tiller of my sky blue westerly
[Verse 4]
CFCF
Oh the Anne Louise has had her fill and now we must away,
CFCC
to walk upon the shores and share the stories of the day,
CGCG
oh we may sleep well in our beds tonight and we may not be back here for days,
CFCGC
but the wind's coming down from Norway and our dreams will be on the waves
[Chorus]
CC
Oh, cast off me lads,
FF
we'll set the sails harding,
CF
'cause she's been gasping for some action
GG
out on the open seas,
CFCG
oh there's nothing quite like pitching along at dangerous speeds,
CFCGC
with my hand on the tiller of my sky blue westerly
[Chorus]
CC
Oh, cast off me lads,
FF
we'll set the sails harding,
CF
'cause she's been gasping for some action
GG
out on the open seas,
CFCG
oh there's nothing quite like pitching along at dangerous speeds,
CFCGC
with my hand on the tiller of my sky blue westerly
