Roll Northumbria Tab par The Dreadnoughts (Accords Baryton)

[Verse 1]

     Em

'Twas late 65 at the old wall sea yard

Am

She was commissioned to haul the black tar

   C

And built the Northumbria there on the bar

B7               Em

Roll Northumbria Roll



[Verse 2]

  Em

For when the Egyptians they closed the Red Sea

   Am

And call came on high from the powers that be

  C

To build a royal monster right down on the key

B7               Em

Roll Northumbria Roll me boys

B7               Em

Roll Northumbria Roll



[Verse 3]

  Em

Carpathia Vengeance celestial call

Am

She was the tanker to out-size them all

        C

From the banks of the Mersey to the port of the Laul

B7               Em

Roll Northumbria Roll



[Verse 4]

    Em

And fair Princess Anne threw a bottle of wine

   Am

And watch as the giants set down in the Tyne

C

What lay ahead could no mortal divine

B7               Em

Roll Northumbria Roll me boys

B7               Em

Roll Northumbria Roll



[Chorus]

        C                     D

And it's one for the hot sun above

B7                    Em

Two for the empire we love

        C

And it's three for the fire that burns down below

B7         Em

Roll on Northumbria

C                Em

Roll Northumbria Roll

Two for the empire we love

And it's three for the fire that burns down below

B7         Em

Roll on Northumbria

C                Em

[Verse 5]

       Em

So come all ya good workmen beware the command

    Am

That comes down on high from the desk of a man

     C

Who's never held steel or torch in his hands

B7               Em

Roll Northumbria Roll



[Verse 6]

    Em

For atop a wild breaker the cracks in her frame

Am

Spilled her black guts all across the wild Maine

   C

And she limped away through an ocean of flame

B7               Em

Roll Northumbria Roll me boys

B7               Em

Roll Northumbria Roll



[Chorus]

        C                    D

And it's one for the hot sun above

B7                    Em

Two for the empire we love

        C

And it's three for the fire that burns down below

B7         Em

Roll on Northumbria

C                Em

Roll Northumbria Roll
