Original Hastings Song by Jim James Verses adapted by Colin Shewry |
The Plymouth Song ( With apologies to Jim James)
3/4 time Rhythm is “um pa pa”
B B B E
Plymouth, Oh Plymouth! I love and I loathe you
E B B F#
It’s like being married: the good and the bad
B B B E
You’re part of me now as you’ve been for lifetime
E B F# B B B B
You’re way past your best. Then again, so am I
[Chorus]
B B B B E
And I don’t know where the money went
E F#
But that’s not important now
B B B B E
All I know is that it’s all spent
E B
And it looks like I’m stuck here
F# B B B B
And I hope I had a good time
[Chorus]
B B B E
Plymouth is famous for the people that left it
E B B F#
Travelled the world, took the name with them there
B B B E
Australia, Massachusetts, more than 50 new Plymouths
E B F# B B B B
Some chose to go, many others were sent.
[Chorus]
B B B E
Some folk are kind with a friendship that’s real
E B B F#
Stood strong and true, when the troubles begun
B B B E
Others say one thing, but they mean something different
E B F# B B B B
Their friendship goes, like the mist in the sun.
[Chorus]
B B B E
I’ve sailed dangerous waters round the Eddystone lighthouse
E B B F#
It marks the graves of a thousand lost ships,
B B B E
The light it protects us, as we sail home to Plymouth
E B F# B B B B
For the peace that we find there, till the sea calls again.
[Chorus]
B B B E
Minerva, Black friars, Macbride and the Dolphin
E B B F#
Homes for the thirsty, at the end of the day.
B B B E
For Grog and for Gin, for the Beer and the Ale
E B F# B B B B
So many choices, they all end the same way
[Chorus]
F# B
And I hope you had a good time
F# B
Coz I like to see you next time
F# B
Coz I know we’ll have a good time.
