[A] Go and tell Lord Grenville [C#m] that the tide is on the turn
[F#m] It's time to haul the [E] anchor up [D] and [F#m] leave the land [Bm] astern
[C#] We'll be gone before the dawn [D] [D#m] returns
Black [A] voices on [G] the wind
[F#m] Go [B] [G#m]
[A] and tell Lord Grenville [C#m] that our dreams have run aground
[F#] There's nothing here to keep [E] us [D] [A] in this [Bm] shanty town
[C#] None of us are caring [D] where we're [D#] bound
[A] Black voices [G] on the wind
[A] And [Fm] [G#]
[A] [D] come the day you'll [E] hear them saying
They're throwing it [A] all away
[D] Nothing more [E] to say

[D] Can't bring the [Bm] helm apart
[C#] None of us are left in [D] any doubt
[D#] We [A] won't be [G] back again
[F#m] [F]
[A] Send a message to the fleet
[C#m] They'll search for us in vain
[F#m] We won't be found [E] among the [D] reaches of the [Bm] Spanish Main

[A] Won't be back [G] [F#m] again
[F]
[A] And [D] come the day you'll [E] hear them saying

[F] Our [C#m] [C]
[G] [Gm] [D] [E]
[Em] time is just a point [D] along a line
