[C#m] [A] [G] [D] [G]
[D] [A] [D] [Bm] Just a lad I [A] was of thirteen [D] years when my father [G] passed away
And I had to take a job as a [D] deckhand on the [A] Marley May
[Bm] And the time I spent [A] once summer passed [D] turned into fifty [G] years
And the sound she made as she broke the waves [A] still rings within [D] my ears
[Bm] She was passed to me when [A] I was twenty-three [D] Captain Mills went round the [G] bend
He saw a forerunner on the dock one night [D] and never sailed [A] again
[Bm] Superstition be damned I [A] sailed her proud [D] fair maiden of the [G] sea
There was never a night like [A] her and no one for [D] her but me
[Bm] [A] [G] [F#m]
[D] While the years went [A] by and tales ran [D] high of the catches we [G] brought in
[Em] There were times I [G] thought we'd sink her [D] but her spirit would not [A] give in
[Bm] Words were [A] spoken and souls were [D] broken and the bottle [G] shattered mine
I could see that she'd outlive me [A] I'd not win the war [D] of time
And [Em] I saw the [Bm] time with me in my [A] prime no [D] man could be [G] my equal
Through the eye of a [Bm] needle I'd steal her [F#m] any [A] day
[Em] When I grew [Bm] older I couldn't hold [F#m] her my [D] courage [G] slipped away
[Em] So they put a young boy [Bm] from Canzo [A] at the wheel of the Marley [D] May
I [Bm] [A]
[D] [G] [Em] [G]
[D] [A] [Bm] [A]
[D] [G] [Em] [G]
[A] [D] was there to see her [A] sail away [D] in the cold December [G] haze
[Em] But the Canzo boy had [G] never seen the likes [D] of the southeast wind [A] and waves
[Bm] At the harbour mouth [A] he drifted south [D] right into [G] Lighthouse Rock
[Em] And he smashed her keel [G] and laid her low [A] while I watched there from [D] the dock
I [Em] saw the days [Bm] of the devil ways [A] no man [D] could be [G] my equal
[Em] Through the eye of a needle [Bm] I'd steal [D] her any [A] day
[Em] When I grew older [Bm] I couldn't hold her [A] my [D] courage slipped [G] away
[Em] So they put a young boy [Bm] from Canzo [F#m] at the wheel of the Marley [G] May
And I wish that I'd [Bm] gone down boys [A] at the wheel of the Marley [D] May
