The Final Voyage Of The Wailers Essex taby ukulele według Rusty Cage

C        Em        Am          C
I done my level best, to whomever's concerned 
       C      Em        F              G  
For children of wailer's, we all take a turn 
       Dm       G          C           Am             
Now we lay in our oars boat, us six men at sea
       Dm       G          C            Am                  
And travel for home with rations for three 
        Dm       G         C              Am     
Two ounces fresh water and hardtack a day 
   F              G         C      
But we'll see Nantucket again

  C      Em      Am        C                                                                 
Forty days and forty nights, we followed the wind 
  C       Em       F        G                                                                  
In the southern Pacific, many miles from land
     Dm        G             C           Am                                                                   
The first mate of Essex, and few crew with me 
      Dm        G            C           Am                                                               
Our captain George Pollard is lost at the sea 
        Dm        G            C           Am                                                                
And I look to the East and see nothing but blue                               F                 G         C                                                        
So what can us starving men do?

           C       G       F        G       
But sing, sing, we're on our way home 
           C       G        F              G7   
Across the Pacific, and through the unknown 
       C          E7              Am
With God as our shepherd then no harm shall pass 
  F            G         C      
We'll be in Nantucket at last   

C7       F              F7      
But oh, how this skin of blistered leather pulls tight on our skulls 
  C         E7           Am              
As rations all dwindle away 
      C7            F            F7          
And oh, how our dreams every night, of our stomachs so full 
     Dm        G             C                 Am                
But awake to find water to last two more days 
     Dm          G           C                 Am              
Our spirits all broken, our minds are all crazed 
     Dm         G            C     Em     Am                    
And oh, how I'd kill for just one more good meal 
         F          G         C        
But home's a little farther away

C       G        F            G
But sing, sing, we're on our way home 
     C       G        F             G7   
Across the Pacific, and through the unknown 
     C         E7             Am
With God as our shepherd then no harm shall pass 
  F           G       C      
We'll be in Nantucket at last

    C7        F              F7   
But oh, when I look at my crewman, I see them looking back at me 
C        E7        Am          
Humanity gone from their eyes 
   C7          F               F7          
Once we were men of our god, and brothers at sea 
    Dm       G        C            Am
Those times weren't so long ago, but how quick they pass 
    Dm        G        C            Am
Was once death a stranger, now approaching us fast 
     Dm       G         C    Em    Am
But we are Nantucket, the proud and the strong 
   F       G         C       
For Nantucket, we must travel on

  C7          F            F7   
But oh, how these hunger pangs drive all the thoughts in my brain 
C        E7           Am          
And body dries up in the sun 
     C7         F             F7   
Oh, cause it's meat and fresh water that the six of us crave 
     Dm        G          C         Am
So six bits of paper are tossed in the cap 
      Dm       G          C          Am
And six men reach in and each pull out a scrap 
      Dm        G          C          Am
And one man of six, with the unlucky draw 
   F         G          C
Is one man to help feed us all
