Verse 1:
C5 F5
Searching for the best break
C5 G5
The black forties could afford them
C5 F5
Came these ever-proud world-renowned
F5 C5 G5
Rowdy, roving men
C5 F5
With a firmness and a purpose
C5 G5
That so many did dismiss
C5 F5
Sailed these huddled human ballasts on their
F5 C5 G5
stinking coffin ships
Chorus:
F5 G5
From the prison of their lonely hearts
F5 G5
They labored long and hard
F5 G5 (start playing intro)
Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C.
Verse 2: play like verse 1
Intelligent, repectable
But made of modest means
With an independent spirit,
So full of hopes and dreams
Opportunity denied them in a
Doomed and starving land
Came these openhearted kindly spirits
Of a truly threatened man
Chorus: play like other chorus
From the prison of their lonely hearts
They labored long and hard
Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C.
Verse 3: mostly just bass, but the guitar plays in the spots where I put he chords
Searching for the best break
The black forties could afford them
Came these ever-proud world-renowned
F5 C5 G5
Rowdy, roving men
With a firmness and a purpose
That so many did dismiss
C5
Sailed these huddled human ballasts on their
F5 C5 G5
stinking coffin ships
Chorus: play like other choruses
From the prison of their lonely hearts
They labored long and hard
Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C
The B.A.C.
The B.A.C.
The B.A.C.
F5 C5
That's it. There is actally a line after "They labored long and hard" but I
couldn't hear what they were saying in the song and all the lyrics that I found
didn't have it. Anyway, if you figure it out let me know. Later.
