Across The Western Sea

   C             F        C
As I was walking down the street
 C                 G
Across the western ocean
  C                 F     C
A fair young lassie I did meet
 C         G       C
Across the western sea
    F     C       G        C
She was a beauty, bough to stern
 C                 G
Across the western ocean
    C                  F     C
And for her treasures, I did yearn
 C         G       C
Across the western sea


[Chorus]
   F                 C
Oh when we reach the other shore
 G                 C
Across the western ocean
      F                     C
We'll drink like hell we'll rant and roar
 C         G       C
Across the western sea


[Interlude]
F  G  C


[Verse 2]
    C            F       C
She asked if I'd stand a treat
 C                 G
Across the western ocean
  C                 F      C
I will, says I, for one so sweet
 C         G       C
Across the western sea
   F      C        G      C
Up to her quarters we did go
 C                 G
Across the western ocean
  C                   F       C
I kissed her from her head to toe
 C         G       C
Across the western sea


[Chorus]
   F                 C
Oh when we reach the other shore
 G                 C
Across the western ocean
      F                     C
We'll drink like hell we'll rant and roar
 C         G       C
Across the western sea


[Interlude]
F  G  C


[Verse 3]
   C                F       C
We took no, rest we forged ahead
 C                 G
Across the western ocean
   C                  F         C
We rocked and rolled around the bed
 C         G       C
Across the western sea
     F     C        G      C
Then heavy footstep on the stairs
 C                 G
Across the western ocean
    C                    F        C
"Oh dear", says she, "my husbands there"
 C         G       C
Across the western sea


[Chorus]
   F                 C
Oh when we reach the other shore
 G                 C
Across the western ocean
      F                     C
We'll drink like hell we'll rant and roar
 C         G       C
Across the western sea


[Interlude]
F  G  C


[Verse 4]
  C                  F     C
I lept from bed, put on my clothes
 C                 G
Across the western ocean
    C                F        C
His fist it found me bare old nose
 C         G       C
Across the western sea
   F        C      G      C
He shook me like a ragged doll
 C                 G
Across the western ocean
      C                    F        C
I was kicked about like an old foot-ball
 C         G       C
Across the western sea


[Chorus]
   F                 C
Oh when we reach the other shore
 G                 C
Across the western ocean
      F                     C
We'll drink like hell we'll rant and roar
 C         G       C
Across the western sea

[Verse 5]
     D            G          D
He'd murder me, I knew right well
 D                 A
Across the western ocean
   D                  G         D
So down the stairs, I flew like hell
 D         A       D
Across the western sea
      G      D           A       D
Come, sailor boys, where ever ya be
 D                 G
Across the western ocean
  D                  G       D
I hope ya's all take mind of me
 D         G       D
Across the western sea


[Chorus]

Oh when we reach the other shore
 A                 D
Across the western ocean
      G                     D
We'll drink like hell we'll rant and roar
 D         A       D
Across the western sea


[Chorus]
   G                 D
Oh when we reach the other shore
 A                 D
Across the western ocean
      G                     D
We'll drink like hell we'll rant and roar
 D         A       D
Across the western sea
