Spanish Ladies Chords

(ver. 1)
Sarah Blasko
[Verse]
    Bm                D            F#m
Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish Ladies,
    Bm                     D         A
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain;
    Bm             A             D            F#m
For we've received orders for to sail for ol' England,
       G         F#m           Bm  F#m Bm 
But we hope in a short time to see you again.


[Chorus]
      Bm                       D            F#m
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors,
      Bm                      D           F#m  
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt sea.
  D             A                D              F#m
Until we strike soundings in the channel of old England;
     G         A         Bm  Em F#m  Bm
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty five leagues.

  
[Verse]
   Bm                        D             F#m
We hove our ship to with the wind from sou'west, boys
   Bm                     D            A
We hove our ship to, deep soundings to take;
      Bm         A               D           F#m
'Twas forty-five fathoms, with a white sandy bottom,
      G           F#m              Bm      F#m Bm
So we squared our main yard and up channel did make. 


[Verse]
    Bm                    D              F#m
The first land we sighted was called the Dodman,
     Bm                      D                  F#m
Next Rame Head off Plymouth, off Portsmouth the Wight;
   D         A          D             F#m
We sailed by Beachy, by Fairlight and Dover,
    G            A          Bm    F#m      Bm
And then we bore up for the South Foreland light. 


[Chorus]
      Bm                       D            F#m
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors,
      Bm                      D           F#m  
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt sea.
  D             A                D              F#m
Until we strike soundings in the channel of old England;
     G         A         Bm  Em F#m  Bm
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty five leagues. 


[Verse]
         Bm                      D              F#m
Then the signal was made for the grand fleet to anchor,
    Bm                    D            F#m
And all in the Downs that night for to lie;
    Bm            A            D           F#m
Let go your shank painter, let go your cat stopper!
     G           F#m          Bm    F#m        Bm 
Haul up your clewgarnets, let tacks and sheets fly! 


[Verse]
        Bm              D            F#m
Now let every man drink off his full bumper,
        Bm              D            F#m
And let every man drink off his full glass;
      Bm           A         D          F#m
We'll drink and be jolly and drown melancholy,
    G             F#m            Bm   F#m     Bm
And here's to the health of each true-hearted lass. 


[Chorus]
      Bm                       D            F#m
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors,
      Bm                      D           F#m  
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt sea.
  D             A                D              F#m
Until we strike soundings in the channel of old England;
     G         A         Bm  Em F#m  Bm
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty five leagues.
