Verse 1
(A minor) (F major) (D major) (A minor)
Hold on to all Atlantic says,
Oh, (Esus4) hey, hold (E major) to me all
(Esus4) Now (E major) (A minor) where did Frankie
learn his trade?
(Esus4) For he ran me down
with a three (A minor) -reef mainsail
All around (E major) the horn
(A minor) Atlantic on, said not from (D major) me
Away, (Esus4) ho, to (A minor) me, ho
Yet better (F major) ask the (C major) cold North (G major) Sea
For he (F major) ran me down on their
old plain can (G major) vas,
(D major) all around the (F major) horn
(G major) The (A minor) North Sea answered, he's my (E major) man,
(A minor) oh (Esus4) hey ho to (E major) me ho
(Esus4) For he (E major) came to (A minor) me when he began,
it's Frankie (F major) Drake
In an open coaster all around (G major) the (A minor) sands
I caught him young and I used him sore
(D major) Away (A minor) (Esus4) home (E major) to me home
So you (F major) never shall start
on (C major) Frankie (G major) Moor
Without (F major) capsizing earth
and all of our water (D major) s
All around (F major) the sands
(G major) I (A minor) did not favour him at all
Away, (Esus4) oh, to (E major) me, oh
I made (A minor) him poor and I
made him whole
And stand his trick with the common sailors
All (D major) around the (A minor) sands
I froze him stiff and I fucked him (D major) blind
Oh, (A minor) hey (Esus4) -o h to (E major) me, oh
And I (F major) kicked him home, his road (G major) to find
By what he (F major) could see in a three
-day snowstorm (D major)
(A minor) All (D major) around the (F major) sands
(G major) I (A minor) learned him his trade on winter nights
(G major) Oh, (A minor) hey (E major) -o h to me, oh
Trix, (F major) Mardik, Fort, and Dunker (G major) glides
On a (F major) five -knot tide with a Ford Saffirium
(A minor) All around (D major) the (F major) sands (A minor) (Esus4) (A minor) (E major)
(A minor) (F major) (G major) (F major) (D major) (A minor) (D minor) (A minor)
Before his beard began to shoot,
(Esus4) oh, (A minor) hey, (Esus4) oh, to (E major) me, oh
I showed him the (A minor) length
of the Spaniard's (D major) foot
And I (A minor) reckon he clapped the boot on it (D major) later
(A major) All (D major) around the (Esus4) Sand (A minor) s
If there's a risk which you can (E minor) make,
(A minor) oh, hey, oh, (E major) to me, oh
That's (F major) worse than he was used (G major) to take
Nigh (F major) every week, in the
way of his busi (D major) ness,
all around the (F major) sands
If (A minor) there's a trick that (C major) you can (G major) try,
oh (A minor) hey, (G major) oh to (E major) me, oh
Which (F major) he hasn't met in
time (G major) gone by
Not once, not twice,
but (F major) ten times (D major) over,
all around the (F major) sands
If (A minor) you can teach him aught (D major) that's new,
(A minor) I'll (Esus4) to (E major) me own
I'll (F major) give you Bruges and New (G major) port too,
And the (F major) tentle churches that
stand between
And (D major) all around (F major) the horn
So (A minor) storm along, gallant cap (C major) tains,
(F major) All around the (A minor) horn.
