Sea Shanty Chords by The Pogues

[Start]

[Chorus]
     C                               
Dear dirty London in the pouring rain
                                F        
I wish to God I was back on the sea again
C                                                
Though that belongs to the world of never will be
                                            F      
There was never a wilder bastard than me on the sea


[Verse]
                               C7               
I could fuck all the whores in damnation me boys
                               C7                
They wriggled and hollered and made a great noise
                                C7               
I'd drink 'til I stank and then drink plenty more
                           C7          
And I won't go down to the sea any more
                                 C7                
But if I had ten pounds then I'd raise a loud cheer
                                C7                   
And I'd toast all me neighbours both distant and dear
                         C7                            
And I'd shoot back great bellycrippling buckets of beer
                         C7                    
And a pox and a curse on the people 'round here
                                    C7               
Wouldn't give you me the price of a half pint of beer
                                    C           F    
Wouldn't give you me the price of a cup of good cheer
                         C7     C                
A pox and a curse on the people round here yaayaa

[Chorus]
C                                    
A man's ambition must indeed be small
                                   F   
To write his name upon a shithouse wall
           C                             
But before I die I'll add my regal scrawl
                                      F       
To show the world I'm left with sweet fuck all
C7                 F    C7                    
And when all of us bold shithouse poets do die
  C7                                       
A monument grand they will raise to the sky
  C7                                      
A monument made just to mark our great wit
C7                                  
A monument of solid shit now me boys
  C7                                       
I met with Bill James we fought over crusts
  F                      C7                 
I called him a whore and he booted me crotch
     C7                                              
Then we shared out the jack and we thought it a treat
    C7                                    
The compliments pass when the quality meet
    C7                                    
The compliments pass when the quality meet
    C7                                    
The compliments pass when the quality meet
                                           G7   
The compliments pass when the quality meet yahaw
