Honour And Praise chords

[INTRO]
[C] [Dm] [C] [F] [C] [G] [F] [C] [G/B]

[VERSE]
On a [C]fine summer's [F]morning as we [C]lay at the [F]quay
The [C]holds were filled [Dm]high with the [F]treasures of the [G]sea
So that [C]they could be trans[F]ported by [C]men such as [F]we
To [C]homeland [Dm7]and for [G]Queen [C] [G] [G/A]

[VERSE]
[G/B]When the [C]loading was [F]done, we [C]hoisted full [F]sail
Prayed for [C]good winds to [Dm]guide us and de[F]liverance from [G]gales [G/A]
[G/B]And the [C]thoughts of the [F]crew turned to [C]home and strong [F]ale
As we [C]cast off the [G]ropes and set [F]sail

[CHORUS]
[G]Fight for honour [C]and for [F]praise
[G]Sailed the sea throughout the [C]days
In cold [G/B]ground I'll never [Am]lay
I'd [F]rather [G]die on the [Am]ocean [F] [G] [Am]

[VERSE]
Thirty [C]days out to [F]sea and the [C]weather was [F]fine
The [C]wind that we'd [Dm]prayed for and [F]making good [G]time
The [C]honour of [F]first home was [C]soon to be [F]mine
To [C]homeland [Dm7]and to [G]Queen [C] [G]

[VERSE]
But the [C]night became [F]stormy and the [C]wind changed our [F]course
A [C]gale was a-[Dm]blowing and the [F]wind gathered [G]force
And I [C]wondered if [F]ever we'd [C]reach our home [F]port
Or if [C]we'd all be [G/B]lost in the [F]storm

[CHORUS]
[G]Fight for honour [C]and for [F]praise
[G]Sailed the sea throughout the [C]days
In cold [G/B]ground I'll never [Am]lay
I'd [F]rather [G]die on the [Am]ocean [F] [G] [Am]

[VERSE]
Well, the [C]waves washed the [F]deck, in the [C]wind we were [F]locked
I [C]fought with the [Dm]wheel to stay [F]clear of the [G]rocks
But the [C]fighting is in [F]vain, in the [C]storm we were [F]lost
And our [C]prayers blew a[Dm7]way on the [G]wind [C] [G]

[VERSE]
Well, I [C]coughed and I [F]choked and I [C]tasted the [F]sea
I looked [C]over the [Dm]sands, there was [F]no one but [G]me
And I [C]knew that the [F]might of the [C]sea had finished [F]me
And I [C]wished that I'd [G/B]drowned in the [F]storm

[CHORUS]
[G]Fight for honour [C]and for [F]praise
[G]Sailed the sea throughout the [C]days
In cold [G/B]ground I'll never [Am]lay
I'd [F]rather [G]die on the [Am]ocean

[VERSE]
And I've [C]lived with the [F]thought for the [C]rest of m' [F]days
That I'd [C]given the [Dm]lives of the [F]crew just to [G]pay
In [C]search of the [F]garlands of [C]honour and [F]praise
And I [C]wish that I'd [G]drowned in the [F]storm

[CHORUS]
[G]Fight for honour [C]and for [F]praise
[G]Sailed the sea throughout the [C]days
In cold [G/B]ground I'll never [Am]lay
I'd [F]rather [G]die on the [Am]ocean

[CHORUS]
[G]Fight for honour [C]and for [F]praise
[G]Sailed the sea throughout the [C]days
In cold [G/B]ground I'll never [Am]lay
I'd [F]rather [G]die on the [Am]ocean [F] [G] [Am]
