lyrics

*Capo 2nd fret

Em D
Lost patience for dry land
Em D
And this slow and powerless fate
Em D
Is this life guided by my hands?
Em D
Or the man, his coin and the state?

G D
And there’s some solace in sweethearts
G D
And in beer drunk among friends

But the gloom grows in the daylight
As we sell our souls to the scum
There’s a glory just beyond our sight
It’s been passed from father to son

So we’ll set our sails tomorrow
and tonight we’ll drink merrily
With the wind there’s a way to find freedom
on the waves of the great open sea…
