Polly On The Shore Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 Come aCll you wGild young mDen

 And a wCarning tFake by lGead

 NCever leAmad your siFngle life aEmstray

 Or iCnto bad cGompanDy

As I myself have done

Being all in the month of may

When I was pressed by a sea captain

A privateer to tray

To the East Indies we were bound

To plunder the region main

And it's many a brave and a gally and ship

We sent to a watery grave

Off a freeport we did steer

Our provisions to renew

When we did spy a bold man of war

sailing three feet toward too

And she fired in cross our bow

Heave through and don't refuse

Surrender now into our command

Or else your lives you'll lose

And our decks they were splattered with blood

And our canons did loudly roar

And broadside and broadside a long time we laid

Until we could fire no more

  And a thCousand times I qDuested myself aGgain

  For the lCove of me PGolly on the sDhore

(Instrumental break. Ominous sounds by Jerry on the Tele, Swarb' on the strings and Pegg

on the bass, with a slow and steady basis laid bij Dave the drums and Trevor on acoustic.

Do try this at home)

She's a tall and a slender girl

With a dark and a golden eye

And here am I am bleeding on the deck

And for us we say must lie

And farewell me family and friends

Likewise my Polly too

I would never have sailed the salt sea wide

If I had been ruled by you

And a thousand times I saw myself again

For the love of me Polly on the shore
