The Marystown Expedition(Chords)

	        
Verse 

         Dm                          Am 
Upon St. Crispin?s Day we made for a distant shore 
         F                      C 
from the harbour mouth of Montego 
        Dm                                Am 
We were packed to the deck with a rash of Nelson?s blood 
     F                                    C 
on a Northern course where the tradewinds blow 
      C#m                               Bb 
Forty nights on the deck of an old West Indiaman 
     C#m                    Bb 
shed little light on what I know 
    G             Am  Bb          F 
One day this will be over, this I know 


Verse 

     Dm                      Am 
I remember you as the girl I loved so well 
        F                     C 
and the lady of my hearth and home 
          Dm                         Am 
So I must be the man with a horde of tales to tell 
      F                         C 
and a bigger horde of silks and gold 
   C#m                   Bb 
Do you resent me for my roving ways? 
        C#m                   Bb 
Are you still the lady that I know? 
    G             Am  Bb          F 
One day this will be over, this I know

Verse 
        Dm                    Am 
Ne?er a sabre have I drawn in anger 
       F                         C 
?nor a flintlock have I fired at all 
           Dm                        Am 
Though the midnight watch has yet to wear me down 
       F                     C 
I grow weary of the heaven?s thrall 
  C#m                       Bb 
I vowed to return one day a different man 
        C#m                       Bb 
not the green and witless boy you know 
    G             Am  Bb          F 
One day this will be over, this I know

D* 
Relief, praise the gods for the still and moment of respite 
                                            E7        G             D 
The thrill of sleeping through the night is lost on a drone such as I 
D* 
The taste of victory calls, yet a shadow of a feeling lingers on 
                                              E7        G            D 
Yet the blow of whores and devil spawn didn?t break my confidence at all

  F#m                    B 
I think these things too loud 
    F#m            B 
I?m nothing if not proud 
  G#m               C# 
I seek the means to thrive 
     G#m                   C# 
Not scouring to merely survive

      D   C#  B     A  D    C#   B    A     F#m         E 
Cause someone waits at home for you to come over the horizon 
           A                  E            D  Dm  A 
She?ll be waiting, she?ll be waiting for a long time

She?ll be waiting for a long time
