[N] On the 96th day we sailed [A#m] again
How I wish I [Em] was in Sherbrooke [E] now
When a [Em] bloody great Yankee hove in sight
With our [E] cracked fore-founders we made to fight
God [G#] damn them all
I was [E] told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a half-axe
[F] Here the last of [Fm] our is for Iva tears
The [D#m] Yankee lay low [E] down with gold
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
She was broad and fat and loose in sleeves
But to catch her took the antelope two whole days
God damn them all
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American [C#] gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no [E] tears
Now I'm a broken man on a [A#m] half-axe
Here the last of our is for [E] Iva tears
Then at length we stood two [C#] cables away
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
Our cracked [D#] fore-founders made an awful din
But with one [E] fat ball the Yanks stole us in
God damn [C#] them all
I [E] was told we'd [C#] cruise the seas for [F#] American gold
We'd [G#] fire no guns, shed no tears
[C#] Now I'm a broken man on a half-axe
Here the last of our is for Iva tears
The [E] antelope shook and pitched on her side
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
And the main truck carried off both me legs
[C#] God damn them all
I was told [D#] we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, [C#] shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a half-axe
Here the last of our is for Iva tears
[G#] So here I lay [E] in my twenty-thirty year
[C#] How I wish I was in Sherbrooke [D#m] now
It's been [G#] six years since we sailed [E] away
And I just made half-axe [C#] yesterday
God damn them all
I was told we'd cruise the seas for [F#] American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a half [A#m]-axe
Here the [F#] last [C#] of our is for [A#m] Iva [C#] tears
How I wish I [Em] was in Sherbrooke [E] now
When a [Em] bloody great Yankee hove in sight
With our [E] cracked fore-founders we made to fight
God [G#] damn them all
I was [E] told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a half-axe
[F] Here the last of [Fm] our is for Iva tears

God damn them all
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American [C#] gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no [E] tears

Then at length we stood two [C#] cables away
