The Stowaway Uke tab by Doctor Who

C              F
Once I found a stowaway,
  G7              C
Upon my ship on Christmas Day,
Am           Dm            G7
I was fair so I gave him a chance.
     C                    F 
"You shouldn't be here, what's your tale?
   G7                 C
I ought to throw you to the whale!"
Am                  Dm 
He just smiled and said,  
                   G7
"Come here, let's dance."


#chorus:

          C                 F          C
He said, "Borrow or steal, I'll find a way,
   F          C        G7
To be with my lover upon Christmas Day,
         C                        F          C
And I'll run and I'll roam, I'll cover the ground,
      F             C         G7     C
This Christmas I'll see you, I'll be around."


  C                    F
He told me 'bout his girl back home,
G7                C 
Waiting patient, all alone;
Am                Dm             G7
While we danced I shed a little tear,
C                    F
He closed his eyes, all out at sea,
   G7                   C
I think he danced with her not me,
Am                 Dm           G7
I'll just have to wait another year.

G 

   D                G
I think of him, now and again,
   A7             D
I wonder how his journey ends;
  Bm         Em               A7
As I sail by upon my lonesome sea.
    D                    G
That stranger with the haunting face,
A7                   D
Here, then gone, without a trace,
Bm              E                       A7
Lying with his love, that's where he'll be.

#Chorus in D:

      D                G           D
Beg, borrow or steal, I'll find a way,
   G           D                    A7
To be with my lover upon Christmas Day,
         D                        G          D
And I'll run and I'll roam, I'll cover the ground,
     G               D        A7       D
This Christmas I'll see you, I'll be around.
