[Verse 1]
B E
When last I saw John Williams, a young
B F#
man full of pride
B
To have his lovely bride of just four
F# B
days was standing by his side
B
He laughed and slpped me on the back,
E B F#
said “Boyo can’t you see
B E
I’ve seen the last of windswept bogs
B F# B
and bogs the last of me!
E B
And the peelers and the landlords and
E B F#
the risings of the moon
B E
And if ever I return again, ’twill be
B F# B
too bloody soon”
[Chorus]
F# E B
Rich man , poor man, beggar man, wife
F# E B
Sailed away into the night
E B
Where they’ll end up no-one knows
B F# B
Round and round the story goes
[Verse 2]
B
He said “I’ll go and take my chance in
E B F#
far off New York Town
B
For they say there’s lots of work
E B F#
there and the good ones won't stay
B
down
B E
And with my lassie by my side we’ll
B F#
build a better home
B E
And when the sea trip’s over lad we
B F# B
never more will roam”
E B
So we said farewell upon the quay,
E B F#
there was nothing left to do
B
But to pray for John and his lovely
E B
bride, that their dreams
F# B
might all come true
[Chorus]
F# E B
Rich man , poor man, beggar man, wife
F# E B
Sailed away into the night
E B
Where they’ll end up no-one knows
B F# B
Round and round the story goes
[Verse 3]
B
How I envied you, John Williams, and
E B F#
your lovely fair haired bride
B E
To be sailing on that mighty ship
B F# B
across the ocean wide
B
For she’s the finest liner, that was
E B F#
ever built by man
B
And they say there’s naught can sink
E B F# B
her, no not even God’s own hand
E B
Man’s pride can be his own downfall,
E B F#
that big ship sailed form home
B E
And I thought I heard the banshee cry,
B
and it chilled me to the bone
[Chorus]
F# E B
Rich man , poor man, beggar man, wife
F# E B
Sailed away into the night
E B
Where they’ll end up no-one knows
B F# B
Round and round the story goes
B F# B
Round and round the story goes
