[Verse 1]
AmGFGAm
When first I landed in Liverpool, I went upon the spree
AmC/GAmG
With money at last, I spent it fast, I got drunk as drunk could be,
C/GGAmG
But when my money was all gone, it was then that I wanted more,
AmGFGAm
But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more.
[Chorus]
CGAmG
Once more, once more, go to sea once more,
AmG
But a man must be blind to make up his mind,
FGAm
To go to sea once more.
[Verse 2]
AmGFGAm
And as I walked down London Road I met with a Rapper Brown,
AmC/GAmG
I asked him if he'd take me in and he looked at me with a frown,
C/GGAmG
He said: "Last time you was paid off, to me you chalked no score,
AmGFGAm
But I'll give you a chance and I'll take your advance, and I'll send you to sea once more."
[Chorus]
CGAmG
Once more, once more, send you to sea once more,
AmG
But I'll give you a chance and I'll take your advance
FGAm
And I'll send you to go to sea once more.
[Verse 3]
AmGFGAm
I shipped on board of a whaling barque, we were bound for the Greenland seas
AmC/GAmG
Where cold winds blow through frost and snow, why Jamaica rum would freeze
C/GGAmG
And worst to bear, I'd no hard weather gear, as I'd spent all my money ashore
AmGFGAm
It was then that I wished that I was dead and could go to sea no more
[Chorus]
CGAmG
No more, no more, go to sea no more
AmG
It was then that I wished that I was dead
FGAm
And could go to sea no more
[Verse 4]
AmGFGAm
Some times we're catching whales, my lads, some times we're catching none
AmC/GAmG
With a twenty-foot oar stuck in your paw, from four o'clock in the morn
C/GGAmG
And as the shades of night roll on and you rest on your weary oar,
AmGFGAm
It was then that I wished that I was dead and could go to sea no more
[Chorus]
CGAmG
No more, no more, go to sea no more
AmG
It was then that I wished that I was dead
FGAm
And could go to sea no more
[Verse 5]
AmGFGAm
So come all you hard weather sailing lads, who listen to my song
AmC/GAmG
When you get back from those long trips, I'd have you not go wrong
C/GGAmG
Take my advice, drink no strong drink, don't you knock on that brothel door
AmGFGAm
But get married instead and spend all night in bed, and go to sea no more.
[Chorus]
CGAmG
No more, no more, go to sea no more
AmG
But get married instead and spend all night in bed,
FGAm
And go to sea no more.
CGAmG
No more, no more, go to sea no more
AmG
But get married instead and spend all night in bed,
FGAm
And go to sea no more.
