It [C] was the same [Eb] year I came, [Bb] four over the Tornham.
[Gm] _ _
_ _ [Fm] The boat needed [C] light so it didn't go [G] wrong. _ _ _ _
_ _ The Malm is supposed to be over the [Eb] Torn threshold, _ [Bb] seven miles [Gm] deep.
_ The [Fm] bay was deep and [C] dangerous for the oars [G] and sails. _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] The Norwegian built the [C] boat, _ _ [Fm] eight rings and five bowstrings.
[C] _ _ In the [Ab] winter the Malm went on the [G] ice with a sleigh [C] and horse. _ _
_ With a sleigh [C] and horse. _ _

_ _ _ [C] We set up [Eb] on the east coast, [Bb] four over the Tornham.
[Gm] _ _ I [Fm] remember the first [Cm] night, the smell [G] was on. _ _
_ _ A [Cm] sudden light [Eb] over the Torn threshold, _ [Bb] _ seven miles [Gm] deep.
_ [Fm] We stood in a ditch, [C] the wind blew [G] us over.
I _ _ _ [Fm] thought of a man, but [C] he disappeared.
_ [Fm] I called for Victoria [C] _ Harbour.
[Ab] I swore I would long [G] for a man.
_ [C] A hundred years ago, _ [G] the name changed, the name changed.

_ _ _ [C] We wrote eight [Ab] and ninety _ [Bb] in the evening of the Tornham.
_ _ [Fm] We say she smells [C] like a tent from a different time. _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] They talk about a [Ab] hundred years, the change was soon [G] a hundred years.
_ _ _ [Fm] _ But I think it's [C] a long way into the [G] future. _ _ _
I _ [Fm] landed on seven [C] miles of sea.
_ [Fm] I don't have the strength to find my [C] way.
_ [Ab] I'm twenty and ready [G] for a big harbour. _ _ _
[C] A hundred years ago, [G] the name changed, [C] the name changed.

[Cm] _ _ Go [Eb] to war, _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] _ you're not [Cm] the only _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ one.
_ [Fm] _ You're not the [Cm] only _ _ [Eb] _ one. _
[Bb] _ I'm _ [Gm] _ _ fifty [C] and ready [Eb] _ for _
[Bb] a big harbour.
_ [F] _ _ You're [Cm] not the only [Eb] one. _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] Go to _ _ _ _ _ war. _ _ _ _ _
