Threeboot Philbricks Lament Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Bok

[INTRO]
[G] [D7] [G]

[VERSE]
You're a [D7]dirty, hungry, scaly bag of [G]timbers [G7]
And you've [C]seen the last of your deep water [D]days
I have, [D7]too
But I'd [C]like to cut us free, and we'd go astray to[G]gether
And we'd [Am]try that last long [C]voyage[D7]
Me and [G]you [D7] [G]

[VERSE]
Young men [D7]aren't worth the trouble any[G]more
They'd have you [Am]think a man that liked his home
Was nothing but a [D]fool
And they [C]dress up and they go and leave the only thing they ever [G]had
And if I [Am]ever could be[C]lieve that it was [D7]worth it
I'd go [G]too

[VERSE]
But I'd [D7]just as soon be here as someplace [G]there
I don't [Am]need many things [D]
Little [D7]coffee, little rum [G] [G7]
I can [C]lie here in the cove with those little stars a[G]bove me
Hear that [Am]wind running [C]easy [D7]down the [G]bay

[BRIDGE]
Go a[C]way, go a[G]way
They [D]tell me that it's [C]time to go a[G]way

[VERSE]
But you're a [D7]dirty, hungry, scaly bag of [G]timbers [G7]
And you've [C]seen the last of your deep water [D]days
I have, [D7]too
But by [C]god, I'd like to cut us free, and we'd go astray to[G]gether
And we'd [Am]try that last long [C]voyage[D7]
Me and [G]you

[VERSE]
But there's [D7]snow on my shoes and on my [G]head
And there's [Am]snow on that hungry northern [G]wind [G7]
And you [C]take a look around you, all your rambling friends are [G]dead
And I [Am]guess it won't be [C]long before the [D7]day comes
We go, [G]too [D7] [G]
