Verse 1
(G major)
Though my sails be torn and tattered
And the mast be turned about
Let the night wind chill
me to my very soul
Though the spray might sting my eyes
And the (D major) stars no light (G major) provide
Give me just (D major) another (G major) morn
ing light to hold
And I (D major) will not lie me down
This (G major) rain a -ragin'
I (D major) will not lie me down in (G major) such a storm,
and if this night be unblest,
I (C major) shall not take my (G major) rest
un (D major) til I reach another (G major) shore.
Though the only water left is
but salt to wound my thirst,
I will drink this rain
that falls so steady down.
And though night's darkness be my gift,
and there be thieves upon my drift,
I will praise this fog
that shelters us around.
And I (D major) will not lie me down,
this (G major) rain a -ragin'
I (D major) will not lie me down, in (G major) such a storm
And if this night be unblessed,
I shall (C major) not take my rest
(G major) until (D major) I reach an (G major) other shore.
Though my mates be worn and weary,
and believe all hope is lost,
there's no need for their souls
on that blackened bottom.
And though death's just off the bow,
they'll not answer to him now,
he'll have to greet the
morning light without us.
And I will not (D major) lie me down,
this (G major) rain a -ragin',
I (D major) will not lie me down in (G major) such a storm.
And if this night be unblest,
I shall (D major) not take (G major) my rest
until (D major) I reach an (G major) other shore.
And I (D major) will not lie me down,
this rain a (G major) -ragin'.
I will not (D major) lie me down in (G major) such a storm
And if this night be unblest
I shall not (D major) take my (G major) rest
until (D major) I reach another (G major) shore
