[INTRO]
[E]

[VERSE]
We set our traps in the [F#m]bitter cold
On the [B]third day of the [C#m]year
There was [E]three of us then, we were the [F#m]youngest of ten
Two for [B]lines and one to [C#m]steer

[VERSE]
When it [E]blows Northeast on the [F#m]Georges Bank
[B]You don't want to take your [C#m]time
But the [E]engine was old, it couldn't [F#m]take the cold
And we [B]fell back on our [C#m]lines

[VERSE]
Tom [E]throws the switch, he says, "You [F#m]old sonofabitch
What the [B]hell do you think you're [C#m]doing?
You've [E]drug us to the poor house [F#m]too many times
Now you're [B]taking us to our [C#m]ruin"

[VERSE]
Well, the [E]line went slack and the [F#m]stern swung back
[B]We started up a[C#m]gain
But she [E]just tightened up and I [F#m]knew we were stuck
Lying [B]broadside to the [C#m]wind

[CHORUS]
[E]Get her into shore, man, she can't [B]take it any[C#m]more
We're so [E]far from home and we're [F#m]breaking her bones [B]
Can't you get her into [C#m]shore? [E] [B] [C#m]

[VERSE]
Jack [E]picks up the axe, he cuts us [F#m]free from the traps
He hit so [B]hard he smashed the [C#m]rail
Then he [E]looks at me and he [F#m]spits in the sea
His [B]face was white as the [C#m]hail

[VERSE]
But we [E]tried her again, gave her [F#m]all she would go
[B]We felt that screw turn [C#m]round
I remember I [E]prayed for [F#m]steerage way
On that [B]grey and ugly [C#m]ground

[CHORUS]
[E]Get her into shore, man, she can't [B]take it any[C#m]more
We're so [E]far from home and we're [F#m]breaking her bones [B]
Can't you get her into [C#m]shore? [E] [B] [C#m]

[VERSE]
Tom [E]rolls her hard over, to [F#m]run with the tide
When she [B]fell down into the [C#m]trough
And with her [E]side to the swell, she just [F#m]leaned in and fell
And [B]I knew we all were [C#m]lost

[VERSE]
And then [E]all that I saw was that [F#m]rotten old keel
And the [B]lines run across her [C#m]stern
And I [E]couldn't hold to her and I [F#m]couldn't let go
I just [B]wished I'd never been [C#m]born

[CHORUS]
[E]Get her into shore, man, she can't [B]take it any[C#m]more
We're so [E]far from home and we're [F#m]breaking her bones [B]
Can't you get her into [C#m]shore? [E] [B] [C#m]

[VERSE]
When the [E]tide runs strong on the [F#m]Georges Bank
You're a [B]fool to go and [C#m]try
God [E]bless the poor man who's [F#m]born to the sea
God [B]save the poor ones who [C#m]die
