[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ Now it's just my luck to have the watch [F#m] with nothing [D] left to do
_ [A] _

Wonder when they'll turn again [F#m]
and pitch us to [D] the rail
[A] And whirl off one [E] more youngster in the _ gale
_ [A] _ _ The kid was so damn eager, _ _ [F#m] it was all so [D] big and new
_ [C#m]
Never _ had to tell him [F#m] twice, but find him work [E] to do

_ _ _ _ _ Now it's a thing that us old-timers know [F#m] in a sultry [D] summer calm
[C#m] There comes a blow from [F#m] nowhere, and it goes off like a [E] bomb
[A] And a fifteen thousand tonner can [F#m] be thrown upon [D] her beam
[C#m] While the gale takes [E] all before it with [A] a scream
_ _ _ _ The kid was on the hatches, _ [F#m] lying staring at [D] the sky
_ [C#m]
Where I stood I swear I could [F#m] see tears fall [E] from his eyes
[A] So I hadn't the heart to tell him [F#m] that he should be on [D] a line
_ [C#m]
Even _ [E] on a night so [A] warm and _ fine

_ [C#m] But for all that he could hear, I could [F#m] as well not make [E] a sound
So [A] I clung there to the stanchions, [F#m] and I felt my [D] face go pale
[C#m] As he crawled hand [E] over hand along [A] the rail
_ _ _ Now I could feel her heeling over, _ _ [F#m] with the fury [D] of the blow
_ [C#m] I watched the rail go under, then [F#m] so terrible and [E] slow
_ _ [A] Then like some great dog she shook herself [F#m] and roared [D] upright _ again
[C#m] Far over side, [E] I heard him
_ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ But [E] I told that kid a hundred times, [D] don't take the lakes for [C#m] granted
_ [D] They go from [C#m] calm to a hundred knots, [F#m] so fast they [E] seem enchanted
