Verse 1:

C5                 F5
Searching for the best break 
C5                      G5
The black forties could afford them
C5                     F5
Came these ever-proud world-renowned 
F5      C5    G5
Rowdy, roving men
C5                    F5
With a firmness and a purpose 
C5                  G5
That so many did dismiss
C5                         F5
Sailed these huddled human ballasts on their 
F5        C5    G5
stinking coffin ships


Chorus:

F5                        G5
F5                     G5
They labored long and hard
F5               G5          (start playing intro)
Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C.


Verse 2:  play like verse 1

Intelligent, repectable 
But made of modest means 
With an independent spirit, 
So full of hopes and dreams
Opportunity denied them in a 
Doomed and starving land
Came these openhearted kindly spirits 
Of a truly threatened man


Chorus:  play like other chorus

They labored long and hard
Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C.


Verse 3:  mostly just bass, but the guitar plays in the spots where I put he chords

Searching for the best break 
The black forties could afford them
Came these ever-proud world-renowned 
F5      C5    G5
Rowdy, roving men
With a firmness and a purpose 
That so many did dismiss
             C5
Sailed these huddled human ballasts on their 
F5        C5     G5
stinking coffin ships


Chorus:  play like other choruses

They labored long and hard
Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C
The B.A.C.
The B.A.C.
The B.A.C.

F5  C5

That's it.  There is actally a line after "They labored long and hard" but I
couldn't hear what they were saying in the song and all the lyrics that I found
didn't have it.  Anyway, if you figure it out let me know.  Later.
