Verse 1
(Asus4) (D major) (G major) (D major) (Asus4) (D major) Good people all,
both (G major) great and small,
I hope you (A major) will at (Asus4) tend
And (D major) (G major) listen to these verses (Asus4) few
That (A major) (G major) I (E major) have lately penned
(A major) And I'll (G major) relay the hardships (Asus4) great
that (A major) (G major) fishermen (E major) must stand
(A major) While (Asus4) fighting for (D major) a liveli (G major) hood
on the (D major) coast (A major) of Newfoundland
(D major) We bear (Asus4) dear (D major) un to our (G major) friends
and (D major) those we (A major) hold most (D major) dear
Being bound from (G major) Petty Harbour
(Asus4) in (G major) the springtime (E major) of the (Asus4) year (A major)
The (G major) seagulls flying in the (Asus4) air,
(A major) and pitch (G major) ing on (E major) the (A major) shore. (Asus4)
(A major) But little (D major) we thought, t 'would (B minor) be our (G major) luck,
to (D major) see (A major) our friends no more. (B minor) (D major)
(Asus4) (D major) (G major) (Asus4) (A major)
(Asus4) We shook (D major) our rifts
and trimmed our sails
(G major) Across (D major) the (Asus4) bay did (D major) stand
The sun did (G major) rise, all circle -ized, (Asus4)
(G major) like streamers (C sharp minor) o 'er (E major) the land.
(Asus4) The (A major) clouds (G major) lay in the atmosphere,
(Asus4) for (G major) our destruc (E major) tion (Asus4) made.
Boreas (D major) blew a heavy squall, (G major)
and our (A major) vote was over (D major) said.
John French was our command (G major) er,
McSullin (Asus4) second -hand (D major)
And all (G major) the rest were brave
young (Asus4) men,
reared (G major) up a (E major) newfound (A major) land
Six (G major) brave youths, to tell the (Asus4) truth,
were (G major) buried in (E major) the sea (A major) (Asus4)
(A major) But the (Asus4) Lord pre (D major) served
young men's life, (G major)
for to (D major) live (Asus4) a longer day (G major) (Asus4) (A major) (G major)
(A major) (Asus4) (A major) (B minor) (Asus4)
(G major) (A major) (Asus4)
(A major) Your heart (D major) would ache,
all for (B minor) their sake,
if (E major) you were (A major) standing (D major) by
To (B minor) see (A major) them drown (G major) ing,
one by (D major) one,
(B minor) an d no relief being (A major) nigh
Strug (G major) gling with the boisterous (Asus4) waves,
(A major) all (G major) in their (E major) youth and (A major) bloom
(Asus4) But (A major) at (D major) last they sank,
to rise no (G major) more,
all (A major) on the 8th of (G major) June (Asus4) (A major)
Now (Asus4) (D major) to conclude and fin (G major) ish
these few lines
(A major) I write (B minor) and paint
(G major) Never depend out of your (Asus4) strength
while (G major) sailing on (E major) the (Asus4) main
But (A major) put your (G major) trust in Providence,
(Asus4) (A major) Observe (G major) the (E major) Lord's command, (Asus4)
(A major) And He'll guard you (D major) right,
Both day and (G major) night,
Up (A major) on the sea and (Asus4) land (A major) (B minor) (A major) (D major) (Asus4) (A major) (G major) (G major)
(Asus4) (A major) (G major) (A major) (Asus4) (A major) (A major) (G major) (A major) (Asus4)
