Head On The Yacht Club Bar chords by
Oscar Brand
Oscar Brand

N/A
Verse 1
Am

The Warning Flags were up that night
G

there blew a fearsome gale.
Am

A stranger at the Yacht Club bar
E
Am

began an awful tale.

I'll tell you about the flotsam class
G

which set out on a race.
Am
E
Em

From Ravage Quay straight out to sea
Am
G

and twice around the place.
Am
E
Em

The first craft at the halfway mark
G

was Grubby Jean the third
Am

One -tenth the length behind her

swept the gallant Thunderbird
E

Twelve others trailed by quarter -miles
G

while the poor old drinking gourd
Am
G

Was staggering so far behind
Am
G
Am

we thought she still was bored
E
Am
E

The Thunderbird came tacking down
G

and passed the Grubby Jean
Am

Her skipper Johnny Pizer,

but a lad of seventeen,

His youthful indiscretion
G

caused the judge to snort aloud,
Am
G

He put his fingers to his nose
Am

and scandalized the crowd.
Em

The stranger took another drink
G

and heaved a fearful sigh
Am

We yachtsmen stood in silence,

round a tear in every eye

And as the tale began again,
G

no man dared laugh or joke

The stranger's heart,
Am
G

we all could tell,
Am
E
Am
G

was very nearly broke
Am

Well, then suddenly from nowhere near
G

a third boat did appear
Am
E

The drinking gourd come in to view,
Am

her speed caused all to cheer

She overhauled the grubby jean,
G

she passed the Thunderbird
Am
G

And Johnny Pizer cursed aloud,
Am

it's good he wasn't hurt

Well when the race was over
Em
G

we all rushed with wild surmise
Am
E

To learn the mighty secret
Am

which had won the gourd her prize
E
Am

Her smirking captain faced the crowd,

G

it's simple but it's fine
Am
G
Am
G

We simply took a good long breath
Am
G
Am

and blew her across the line
E
Am
E
Am
G

Am
E

The stranger paused,
Am
E
G

I'll tell you who I am,

and whence I came
Am
E

I'm just a crazy sailing man,
Am
G
Am

John Pizer was my name
E
Am
E

I tried the trick to no avail,
G

I've blown with all my might

He gasped,

and he fell dead across the bar,
Am

And we all drank tea that night.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
