THE LAST SHANTY CHORDS
[Start] [Verse] N.C. Well me father often told me when I was just a lad N.C. A sailor's life is very hard the food is always bad N.C. But now I've joined the navy I'm aboard a manowar N.C. And now I've found a sailor ain't a sailor any more [Chorus] N.C. Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast N.C. If you see a sailing ship it might be your last N.C. Just get your civvies ready for another runashore D A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore ■ G D ■ ■ Well the killick of our mess he says we had it soft A7 It wasn't like that in his day when we were up aloft D We like our bunks and sleeping bags but what's a hammock for G Asus4 Swinging from the deckhead or lying on the floor D Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast Bm E A If you see a sailing ship it might be your last D Just get your civvies ready for another runashore G D A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore [Verse] G D ■ ■ They gave us an engine that first went up and down A A7 Then with more technology the engine went around D We know our steam and diesels but what's a mainyard for G D A stoker ain't a stoker with a shovel anymore [Chorus] D Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast Bm E A7 If you see a sailing ship it might be your last D Just get your civvies ready for another runashore G D A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore [Verse] G D ■ ■ They gave us an Aldiss lamp so we could do it right A They gave us a radio we signaled day and night D We know our codes and cyphers but what's a semaphore D A buntingtosser doesn't toss the bunting anymore [Chorus] D Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast Bm E If you see a sailing ship it might be your last D Just get your civvies ready for another runashore Bm G D G A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore ha [Solo] D G D G D G D E ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ D E D E D E D G ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ D G D G E ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ [Chorus] E Two cans of beer a day and that's your bleeding lot E And now we've got an extra one because they stopped the tot E7 E So we'll put on our civvy clothes find a pub ashore E7 A sailor's just a sailor just like he was before E Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast C#m F#7 B7 If you see a sailing ship it might be your last E Just get your civvies ready for another runashore E A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore E Don't haul on the rope don't climb up the mast C#m F#7 B7 If you see a sailing ship it might be your last E Just get your civvies ready for another runashore E A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore C#m E A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore E A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore ha [End]
