verse 1 

B          C          
Midwinter, two years ago, 
D                 Em        
Out to the west a storm began to blow, 
    G                      D             
And the word went round to those in the know: 
    Am                 C 
The Napoli's gonna run aground. 


verse 2 

B               C 
She's listing a week out of the docks, 
D                    Em 
A hundred containers a-heading for the rocks, 
G                      D 
Gather round lads now, quick out of your blocks, 
Am         C 
Everyone's Branscombe bound. 
Am              C             
Said everyone's Branscombe bound. 


G Come gangs from the north, Dm Lads off the moor, C F Wreckers on the cliffs, get down to the shore. G Dm Scratch Joe Public - What's underneath? C F F#m A looter, and a pirate, and a thief.
verse 3 B C All those boxes washed off the deck, D Em Right through the hand of the receiver of the wrecks G D We ought to fill a form in, but no-one's gonna check, Am C Cause there ain't no coppers on the shore, Am C No, there ain't no coppers on the shore.
G Come gangs from the north, Dm Lads off the moor, C F Wreckers on the cliffs, get down to the shore. G Dm Scratch Joe Public - What's underneath? C F F#m A looter, and a pirate, and a thief.
verse 4 B C Four and twenty ponies trotting through the dark, D Em Brandy for the Parson, baccy for the Clerk, G D Lace for a lady, letters for a spy; Am C Bm Watch the wall my darling, while the gentlemen go by.
G Come gangs from the north, Dm Lads off the moor, C F Wreckers on the cliffs, get down to the shore. G Dm Scratch Joe Public - What's underneath? C F F#m A looter, and a pirate, and a thief.
Bridge G D Flotsam, jetsam, call it what you like. C F I got a big oak barrel and a german motorbike, G D From Lyme bay to eBay, tell me where's the sin? C F Everyone's a wrecker 'neath the skin...
G Come gangs from the north, Dm Lads off the moor, C F Wreckers on the cliffs, get down to the shore. G Dm Scratch Joe Public - What's underneath? C F A looter, and a pirate, and a thief. C F A looter, and a pirate, and a thief. C F G A looter, and a pirate, and a thief.
