A Shanty Man's Life chords

A[Am] shanty man's life is a [G]wearisome [Am]one
Though some say it's f[G]ree from [Am]care
It's the[E] swinging of an [Am]axe
From morning 'till[G] night
In the[Am] forest [F]wild and [Am]drear

T[Am]ransported as we are from a [G]lady so f[Am]air
To the banks of some[G] lonely [Am]stream
Where the[E] wolf, bear, and [Am]owl
Give a terrifying h[G]owl
And d[Am]isturb our [F]nightly dr[Am]eams

Oh[Am] sleeping at night in our b[G]unks without c[Am]heer
While the cold winter w[G]inds do bl[Am]ow
But[E] as soon as the m[Am]orning
Star does ap[G]pear
T[Am]o the wild woods[F] we must [Am]go

Had we ale, wine, or beer our [G]spirits for to [Am]cheer
When we're in those [G]woods so [Am]wild
Where a[E] glass of whiskey [Am]shone
When we're in the woods [G]alone
For to[Am] pass aw[F]ay our long ex[Am]ile

A shanty man's life is a w[G]earisome o[Am]ne
Though some say it's [G]free from [Am]care
It's the [E]swinging of an[Am] axe
From morning 'till [G]night
In the[Am] forest w[F]ild and dre[Am]ar
