Biografia:
The Longest Johns are a Bristol based, a capella folk music band, born out of a mutual love of traditional folk songs and shanties. They rock maritime songs alongside the more unusual and less traditional folk tunes. Whether performing hundred year old songs, or their own original creations, the Johns bring a new feel to audiences wherever they go.

[Verse]
C# F#
Oh I bid farewall to the port and the land
C# D#
And I paddled away from brave england's white sands
C# F#
To search for my long ago forgotten friends
C# G# C#
To search for the place I hear all sailors end
[Chorus]
F# C#
As the songs of the dead fill the space of my mind
D#
I'll search without sleeping til peace I can find
F# C#
I fear not the weather, I fear not the sea
G# D#
I remember the fallen, do they think of me?
C# G# C#
When my bones in the ocean forever will be
[Verse]
C# F#
Plot a course to the night to a place I once knew
C# D#
To a place where my hope died along with my crew
C# F#
So I swallow my grief and face life's final test
C# G# C#
To find promise of peace and the solace of rest
[Chorus]
F# C#
As the songs of the dead fill the space of my ears
D#
Their laughter like children, their beckoning cheers
F# C#
My heart longs to join them, sing songs of the sea
G# D#
I remember the fallen do they think of me?
C# G# C#
When their bones in the ocean forever shall be
[Verse]
C# F#
When at last before my ghostly shipmates I stand
C# D#
I shed a small tear for my home upon land
C# F#
Though their eyes speak of death filled with struggle and strife
C# G# C#
Their smiles below say I don't owe them my life
[Chorus]
F# C#
As the songs of the dead the space of my eyes
D#
And my boat listed over and tried to capsize
F# C#
I'm this far from drowning, this far from the sea
G# D#
I remember the living, do they think of me?
C# G# C#
When my bones in the ocean forever will be
[Verse]
C# F#
Now that I'm down at the darkest abyss
C# D#
I'm not sure what I want but I don't think it's this
C# F#
As my comrades call to stand fast and forge on
C# G# C#
I make sail for the dawn til the darkness has gone
[Chorus]
F# C#
As the songs of the dead live for ere in my mind
D#
As I live all the years that they left me behind
F# C#
I'll stay on the shore but still gaze at the sea
G# D#
I'll remember the fallen, and they think of me
C# G# C#
For our souls in the ocean together we'll be
G# D#
I remember the fallen, and they think of me
C# G# C#
For our souls in the ocean together we'll be
C# F#
Oh I bid farewall to the port and the land
C# D#
And I paddled away from brave england's white sands
C# F#
To search for my long ago forgotten friends
C# G# C#
To search for the place I hear all sailors end
