_ _ _ _ _ We would like _ [D#] our physicians to approach the son of the Ellen [E] Landry.

_ [N] _ _ _ And with age, he will be turned out.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ [G] I was proudly wearing [C] my Island Man's green Patagonia jumper, which I purchased from_
I walked into the [C#] office and said, can I have a jumper [D] _
to raffle for the light boats to [C] raise some cash?
And they kindly [Dm] gave me one to raffle and one for [D] myself.
I proudly wear this on such occasions.
[B] Here's the song.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ My hand's a little cold. _ _
_ _ Snail felt in [Em] Wolven, the [Bm] Cree,
_ Fourteen ships sailed the sea.
_ [B] I'll be buried in a [F#] mason vein,
[Bm] But there's one who'll [B] never again sing.
[Bm] _ _ [Em] Oh, [Bm] Ellen, _ why?
[B] I'll be out of my _ [F#]
company.
[Bm] _ _ _ [Em] Oh, _ [F#m]
[Bm] Ellen, why?
_ [Dm] Lost in the [F]
Irish [Bm] sea.
_ At _ 1am, [B] in Rousey Bay,
Captain Till, who's heard [Bm] the say,
The contract [E] says, [A]
give her the [F#] mail.
_ [Bm] And in this rough weather, we will not fail.
_ [B] _
Oh, Ellen, _ [Bm] why?
[E] I'll be out of my company. _ _ _ _
Oh, [Bm] Ellen, why?
_ _ [A] Lost in the Irish [Bm] sea. _ _ _
John Lydon [B] shut the prom's door.
Ellen gone in on [B] the [Bm] waitress' floor.
Her board [E] was full [A] and [F#] bafflingly down,
_ As she [Bm] sailed towards [B] the old town. _ _
Oh, [Bm] Ellen, why? _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
Lost [F#m] in the Irish [Bm] _ _ sea. _
Twenty-one man's land,

[A] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
Lost in the [Bm] Irish sea. _ _ _
_ _ _ A grand mile from the barge,
[Bm] By a mighty wave, little Gayle was next.
She sank [E] in the [A] wharf's purple [F#]
bay,
_ [B] I miss [Bm] she a lot, [D] to [Bm] this day.
_ _ [Em] _ Oh, [Bm]
Ellen, why?
[F#] We are in one _ [Bm] _
beat.
_ [B] _ Oh, Ellen, why?

sea. _ _ _ _ _ _
Thanks, man.
[B] I [Bm] remember the birthday of
