Ah, [E] for just [B] one time, I [A] would take the Northwest [C#m] Passage.
[E] So I and a frank hood [C#] reaching for [A] the port sea,
[E] tracing one [B] poor line [A] through a lands of [C#m] wine and savage,

to [E] race a rolling fraser [B]
through [C#m] the sea.
Ah, for [E] just one time, I [A] would take the [C#m] Northwest Passage.
So [E] I and a frank hood reaching [A] for the port sea,

How then, [E] are you so different from the first men through this [B] way?
[A] Like them, [E] are you glad to settle like I threw it [C#] all away?

_ [A] to find there [E] but the road back [C#m] home again.
