[Verse 1]
B C
Midwinter, two years ago,
D Em
Out to the west a storm began to blow,
G D
And the word went round to those in the know:
Am C
The Napoli's gonna run aground.
[Verse 2]
B C
She's listing a week out of the docks,
D Em
A hundred containers a-heading for the rocks,
G D
Gather round lads now, quick out of your blocks,
Am C
Everyone's Branscombe bound.
Am C
Said everyone's Branscombe bound.
[Chorus]
G
Come gangs from the north,
Dm
Lads off the moor,
C F
Wreckers on the cliffs, get down to the shore.
G Dm
Scratch Joe Public - What's underneath?
C F F#m
A looter, and a pirate, and a thief.
[Verse 3]
B C
All those boxes washed off the deck,
D Em
Right through the hand of the receiver of the wrecks
G D
We ought to fill a form in, but no-one's gonna check,
Am C
Cause there ain't no coppers on the shore,
Am C
No, there ain't no coppers on the shore.
[Chorus]
G
Come gangs from the north,
Dm
Lads off the moor,
C F
Wreckers on the cliffs, get down to the shore.
G Dm
Scratch Joe Public - What's underneath?
C F F#m
A looter, and a pirate, and a thief.
[Verse 4]
B C
Four and twenty ponies trotting through the dark,
D Em
Brandy for the Parson, baccy for the Clerk,
G D
Lace for a lady, letters for a spy;
Am C Bm
Watch the wall my darling, while the gentlemen go by.
[Chorus]
G
Come gangs from the north,
Dm
Lads off the moor,
C F
Wreckers on the cliffs, get down to the shore.
G Dm
Scratch Joe Public - What's underneath?
C F F#m
A looter, and a pirate, and a thief.
[Bridge]
G D
Flotsam, jetsam, call it what you like.
C F
I got a big oak barrel and a german motorbike,
G D
From Lyme bay to eBay, tell me where's the sin?
C F
Everyone's a wrecker 'neath the skin...
[Chorus]
G
Come gangs from the north,
Dm
Lads off the moor,
C F
Wreckers on the cliffs, get down to the shore.
G Dm
Scratch Joe Public - What's underneath?
C F
A looter, and a pirate, and a thief.
C F
A looter, and a pirate, and a thief.
