[Intro]
E
[Verse]
F#m
We set our traps in the bitter cold
B C#m
On the third day of the year
E F#m
There was three of us then, we were the youngest of ten
B C#m
Two for lines and one to steer
[Verse]
E F#m
When it blows Northeast on the Georges Bank
B C#m
You don't want to take your time
E F#m
But the engine was old, it couldn't take the cold
B C#m
And we fell back on our lines
[Verse]
E F#m
Tom throws the switch, he says, "You old sonofabitch
B C#m
What the hell do you think you're doing?
E F#m
You've drug us to the poor house too many times
B C#m
Now you're taking us to our ruin"
[Verse]
E F#m
Well, the line went slack and the stern swung back
B C#m
We started up again
E F#m
But she just tightened up and I knew we were stuck
B C#m
Lying broadside to the wind
[Chorus]
E B C#m
Get her into shore, man, she can't take it anymore
E F#m B
We're so far from home and we're breaking her bones
C#m E B C#m
Can't you get her into shore?
[Verse]
E F#m
Jack picks up the axe, he cuts us free from the traps
B C#m
He hit so hard he smashed the rail
E F#m
Then he looks at me and he spits in the sea
B C#m
His face was white as the hail
[Verse]
E F#m
But we tried her again, gave her all she would go
B C#m
We felt that screw turn round
E F#m
I remember I prayed for steerage way
B C#m
On that grey and ugly ground
[Chorus]
E B C#m
Get her into shore, man, she can't take it anymore
E F#m B
We're so far from home and we're breaking her bones
C#m E B C#m
Can't you get her into shore?
[Verse]
E F#m
Tom rolls her hard over, to run with the tide
B C#m
When she fell down into the trough
E F#m
And with her side to the swell, she just leaned in and fell
B C#m
And I knew we all were lost
[Verse]
E F#m
And then all that I saw was that rotten old keel
B C#m
And the lines run across her stern
E F#m
And I couldn't hold to her and I couldn't let go
B C#m
I just wished I'd never been born
[Chorus]
E B C#m
Get her into shore, man, she can't take it anymore
E F#m B
We're so far from home and we're breaking her bones
C#m E B C#m
Can't you get her into shore?
[Verse]
E F#m
When the tide runs strong on the Georges Bank
B C#m
You're a fool to go and try
E F#m
God bless the poor man who's born to the sea
B C#m
God save the poor ones who die
