_ _ Just [Em] the latter [D] was of thirteen years when my father passed [C]
away
_ [Am] And I had to take a [Em]
job as [D] deckhand on the Mauley May
_ [Em] And the time I [D] spent rolling summer pass turned into fifty [C] _
years
[A] And the sound she [Em] made as she broke the waves [D] still rings within my _ _ _ [G] ears
_ [Em] She was passed to [D] me when I was twenty-three, Captain Millsman from the [C] bend
_ [Am] Saw a far runner on [Em] the dock one night [G] and never sailed [D] again
_ _ [Em]
Superstition be [D] damned, I sailed a prowl fair maiden of the [C] _ sea
[Am] There was never another [Em] like her, [D] no one who forgot _ me
_ [G] _
_ _ _ [Am] I see the [Em] time when me and my pride [D] and old man could be my [C] equal
Through the eye of [Em] the needle I'd sail her [D] many _ _ _ _
_ [G] days
_ [Am] When I grew [Em] older I couldn't [D] hold her, my courage [C] slipped away
_ So [Am] they put a young [Em] boy from Canstall [D] at the wheel of Mauley [G] May _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] Oh the years went [D] by, the tales ran high, the catches we [G] [C] brought in
There were [Am]
times when [Em] salt made break her, [G] but her spirit would not [D] give in
[Em] As words were [G] spoken, [D] the souls were broken, and the bottle shattered [C] mine
_ [A] Never thought that I'd [E] outlive her and [D] not win the war of [G] time _ _
_ _ _ [Am] I see the days [Em]
from mid-December [D] waves, no man could be [C] my equal
Through the eye [Am] of the needle [G]
I'd sail [D] her many _ _ days
_ [G] _ _ [A] When I grew [Em] older I couldn't [D] hold her, my courage slipped [C]
away
_ [Am] So they put a young [Em] boy from _ [D] Canstall at the wheel of [G] Mauley May _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I was [Em] there to [D] see her sail away in the cold December [C] haze
_ [Am] But the Canstall boy had [Em] never seen the lights [G] of the south-east [D] wind and waves
_ [Em] At the harbour [D] mouth she drifted south right into the lighthouse [C] rock
_ [Am] And he smashed her keel [Em] and laid her low [D] while I watched there from the dock
[Dm] _ [G] _
_ _ [D] _ [Am] I see the times [Em]
between me and my [D] prime, no man could be my [C] equal
Through the eye of the needle I'd sail [D] her many _ _ days
_ [G] _ _ _ [Am] When I grew [Em] older I couldn't [D] hold her, my courage slipped [C] away
_ _ [B] [Am] So they put a young [Em] boy from _ Canstall [D] at the wheel of _
[G] Mauley _ _ _ May _
[A] I see the [Em] times between me and my [D] prime, no man could be [C] my equal
[G]
[Am] Through the eye of the needle [Em] I'd sail her [D]
many _ _ _ days

_ [Bm]
[Am] So they put a young [Em] boy from _ [D] Canstall at the wheel of Mauley May _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Am] And I wish that I'd gone [Em] down boys, [D] at the wheel of Mauley May
[G] _ _ _ There'll _ [Am] _ [Em] never be another, _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ like the [Em] Mauley May
