Patrick Spencer Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Bok

[INTRO]
[C]

[VERSE]
Oh[G/B] , don't the [Am]moon look pretty, she [F]sails like a ship in the [C]sky
[Dm]Darling, you don't know [G]nothing about sailing, [F]she's got a cast in her [G7]eye [C]
When the [G/B]moon weeps [Am]silvery tears, you can [F]look for a terrible [C]storm
I [Dm]pity the sailor that's [G]out tomorrow, I'm [F]glad I can [G]bide here at [C]home

[VERSE]
If you [G/B]be Patrick [Am]Spencer, and [F]that man you'd better [C]be
I have a [Dm]letter here [G]from the King, he com[F]mands you to go to [G7]sea
It's [C]little he [G/B]thinks of your [Am]danger, as he [F]sits with his wine and his [C]song
His [Dm]little daughter in [G]far Norway, she's [F]sick and she [G]wants to come [C]home

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[C] [G/B] [F] [G]

[VERSE]
Well, he [C]could have[G/B] sent me [Am]greetings, he [F]could have cast me [C]blame
[Dm]He could have asked me a [G]hundred favours, god [F]knows, I'd never com[G7]plain
But this [G]running [G/B]up in the [Am]rigging with a [F]hurricane on the [C]wing
It's [Dm]come to a matter of [G]life and death to [F]have to [G]pleasure the [C]King

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[C] [G/B] [F] [G] [F] [G7] [C]

[VERSE]
Standing [G/B]out to [Am]sea that day, oh [F]lord, it commenced to [C]rain
The [Dm]waves like the tops of [G]mountains and the [F]wind like a thing in [G7]pain [C]
Patrick [G/B]Spencer [Am]calls for his glass and he [F]puts it in Johnny's [C]hand
Saying, "[Dm]Run up, Johnny, as [G]high as you can, and [F]see if you [G]see any [C]land"

[VERSE]
"No land[G/B] , Patrick [Am]Spencer, nor [F]ever a sight of [C]shore"
"Well [Dm]than, give it over, [G]lads", he cried, "you'll [F]never see home any[G7]more [C]
Never [G/B]mind your [Am]buckled shoes, you'll [F]wet more than your [C]feet
And [Dm]as for this letter [G]from the King, it's a [F]damn small [G]winding-[C]sheet"

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[C] [G/B] [F] [G] [F] [G7]

[VERSE]
[C]Christinie [G/B]be a [Am]long, long time a-[F]waiting for me to come [C]home
And the [Dm]cold, cold sea be a [G]long, long time a-[F]washing over my [G7]bones
And [C]that man that [G/B]told the [Am]King about me, well, I [F]wish I had him [C]here
The [Dm]very last favour I'd [G]ever have granted, is to [F]carry him [G]under with [C]me
