CAPO 2nd Fret

[INTRO:[  C   G    C    F   (2x)

VERSE 1:
C             F
Sometime in October,
   G           F         C
We sailed from England's shore
        G        C    G      C
When we sailed into a raging storm
          F           G      C
Like I've never, ever seen before
    F                          G
And all of the crew, they were brave men
        C               C7  F
But the captain, he was braver
          G     C        G        C
He said, "Never mind the ship, me boys,
                            F
There's none of us here can save her”


CHORUS:                
            C      C   G   F
“Let her go down     
              C      C   G   F
Swim for your lives
              C
Swim for your children
Dm            G
Swim for your wives  
               C       C   G   F
But let her go down 
           C         C   G   F
Let her go down”

VERSE 2:
C                F
Lost in the open ocean
           G           F        C
There were some of the crew and me
       G       C           G       C
As the captain steered our wounded ship
       F            G     C
To the bottom of an angry sea
             F                   G
And with his dying breath we all heard him say,
          C            C7  F
"It's the fortune of a sailor"
              G     C        G        C
And he said, "Never mind the ship, me boys,
                            F
There's none of us here can save her”


CHORUS:                
            C      C   G   F
“Let her go down     
              C      C   G   F
Swim for your lives
              C
Swim for your children
Dm            G
Swim for your wives  
               C       C   G   F
But let her go down 
           C        C   G   D
Let her go down”

VERSE 3:
D                  G
He wondered if his shipmates
     A             G             D
Were ready just to pray and give in
      A            D         A      D
So he called their names out one by one
                 G         A         D
But there was no one else around but him
           G                    A
He saw the ship go down in the fading light
       D                  D7    G
And he knew he could have saved her
              A       D              A       D
He said, "The captain lied, when the captain cried",
                             G
'There's none of us here can save her";


CHORUS:                
            D      D   A   G
“Let her go down     
              D      D   A   G
Swim for your lives
              D
Swim for your children
Em            A
Swim for your wives  
               D       D   A   G
But let her go down 
           D        D   A   G
Let her go down
           D        D   A   G
Let her go down
           D     
Let her go down”
