Chords for The Last Shanty

Well, me father often told me when I was just a lad
A sailor's life was very hard, the food was always bad
But now I've joined the Navy, I'm aboard a man-of-war
And now I've found the sailor ain't the [E] sailor any more
[C] Don't haul on the rope, don't [F#] climb up the mast
If you see a [C#] sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your cities ready [C] for another on ashore
A [F] sailor ain't the sailor ain't the sailor any more

Well the clique of our mess, he says we have it soft
It wasn't like that in his day when we were up aloft
We [F] like our bunks a sleeping bag, so what's a hammock for?
Swinging from the deckhead or lying on the [C#] floor
Don't [C] haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
[F] If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your cities ready for another on ashore
A sailor ain't the sailor ain't the sailor any more _ _ _ _ _ _

[C] Then with more technology the engine went [F] around
We now steam and diesel, but what's it mainly for?

Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a [F] sailing ship it might be your [D#] last
Just get your cities ready for [F] another on ashore
A sailor ain't the sailor ain't the sailor any [N] more _ _ _ _ _ _
Well they gave us an oil stamp so we could do it right
[C] They gave us a radio [E] we signalled day and night
[D] We know we're coding ciphers, so what's a cipher for?
[A#m] A button that doesn't toss the button anymore
Don't haul on [C] the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship [F] it might be your last
Just get your cities [C#] ready for another on ashore
A sailor ain't the sailor ain't the sailor any [C] more
Two cans of beer a day, [Em] that's your bleeding lot
[E] But now we have an extra one [F] because we stopped [Bm] at Tots
We'll put on our city clothes, [F] we'll find a proper shore
[D] A sailor's just a sailor just like he was [E] before
[G] Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
