Banks Of Newfoundland Chords

(ver. 2)
Great Big Sea
   Am                                 G            Am
 Ye bully boys of Liverpool, and I'll have you all beware
  Am                                    G               Am
 When you sail on them packet ships,no dungaree jackets wear
      C                 Am         C            (G)
 But have a big monkey jacket all ready to your hand
            Am                               G                Am
 For there blow some cold nor'westers on the banks of Newfoundland

 
Chorus

       C                    Am             C               G
 We'll scr*pe her and we'll scrub her,With holy stone and sand
            Am                               G             Am
 For there blow some cold nor'westers on the banks of Newfoundland


    Am                               G                    Am
 We had Jack Lynch from Ballynahinch,Mike Murphy and some more
       Am                                                    G            Am
 an' I tell you b?ys,  well they suffered like hell on their way to Baltimore
      C                    Am                 C                 (G)
 They pawned their gear in Liverpool and they sailed as they did stand
           Am                                 G                Am
 But there blow some cold nor'westers  on the banks of Newfoundland


 Chorus
       C                    Am             C               G
 We'll scr*pe her and we'll scrub her,With holy stone and sand
            Am                               G             Am
 For there blow some cold nor'westers on the banks of Newfoundland


         Am                                        G             Am
 Now the mate he did stand on the foc'sle head and loudly he did roar
       Am                                  G                   Am
 "Come rattle her in me lucky lads, You're bound for America's shore.
      C                      Am                  C                 (G)
 Come wipe the blood off the dead man's face And haul or you'll be damned!"
           Am                                G                Am
 For there blow some cold nor'westers on the banks of Newfoundland



 Chorus...
       C                    Am             C               G
 We'll scr*pe her and we'll scrub her,With holy stone and sand
            Am                               G             Am
 For there blow some cold nor'westers on the banks of Newfoundland


    Am                                      G                  Am
 So now we're off the hook me boys, and the land is white with snow
     Am                                     G                 Am
 and soon we'll see the pay table and we'll spend the night below
     C                  Am                        C                 (G)
 And on the docks, come down in flocks, why,those pretty girls will say
       Am                                          G                Am
 "It's snugger with me then out on the sea, on the banks of Newfoundland!"


 Chorus
       C                    Am             C               G
 We'll scr*pe her and we'll scrub her,With holy stone and sand
            Am                               G             Am
 For there blow some cold nor'westers on the banks of Newfoundland
       C                    Am             C               G
 We'll scr*pe her and we'll scrub her,With holy stone and sand
            Am                               G             Am
 For there blow some cold nor'westers on the banks of Newfoundland
