Spanish Ladies (Sarah Blasko) Capo 2 A or C harp
V1
Am C G Em
Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish ladies,
Am C D
Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain;
Am G C G Em
For we've received orders for to sail for ol' England,
F Em Am Em Am
But we hope in a short time to see you again
Chorus
Am C G Em
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors,
Am C D
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas.
C G C G Em
Until we take soundings in the Channel of old England;
F Em Am Dm Am
From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues.
V2
Am C G Em
We hove our ship to with the wind from the sou' west boys,
Am C D
We hove our ship to, deep soundings to take;
Am G C G Em
'Twas forty-five fathoms, with a white sandy bottom,
F Em Am Em Am
So we squared off our main yard and up channel did make.
Chorus
V3
Am C G Em
The first land we sighted was called the Dodman,
Am C D
Next Rams Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland then Wight;
Am G C G Em
We sailed on by Beachy, by Fairley and Dover,
F Em Am Em Am
And then we bore up for the South Foreland light.
Chorus
V4
Am C G Em
Then the signal was made for the Grand Fleet to anchor,
Am C D
And all in the Downs that night for to lie;
Am G C G Em
Let go your shank painter, let go your cat stopper!
F Em Am Em Am
Haul up your clewgarnets, let tacks and sheets fly!
Chorus
V5
Am C G Em
Now let every man drink off his full bumper,
Am C D
And let every man drink off his full glass;
Am G C G Em
We'll drink and be jolly and drown melancholy,
F Em Am Em Am
And here's to the health of each true-hearted lass
Chorus
Am C G Em
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors,
Am C D
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas.
C G C G Em
Until we take soundings in the Channel of old England;
F Em Am Dm Am
From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues.
