Lord Franklin

G G C C Em7 Em7 Am Am
Was homeward bound one night on the deep
Am Am D7 D7
Swinging in my hammock I fell asleep
G G C C G G
Dreamed a dream that I thought was true
Am Am D7 D7 C C G G
Concerning Franklin and his gallant crew

G G C C Em7 Em7 Am Am
With a hundred seamen he sailed away
Am Am D7 D7
To the frozen oceans in the month of May
G G C C G G
To seek a passage around the Horn
Am Am D7 D7 C C G G
Where we poor sailors would sometimes go

G G C C Em7 Em7 Am Am
Through cruel misfortune they vainly strove
Am Am D7 D7
The ship on mountains of ice was drove
G G C C G G
To where the Eskimo’s king Kinuite
Am Am D7 D7 C C G G
Was the only man who ever came through

G G C C Em7 Em7 Am Am
In Baffins Bay where the whale fish go
Am Am D7 D7
The fate of Franklin no man may know
G G C C G G
The fate of Franklin no tongue can tell
Am Am D7 D7 C C G G
Lord Franklin sailors dwell

G G C C Em7 Em7 Am Am
And now my burden it brings me pain
Am Am D7 D7
For my Lord Franklin I’d sail the main
G G C C G G
A A thousand pounds I would surely give
Am Am D7 D7 C C G G
If Lord Franklin could only live
