Up She Rises Chords & Lyrics - Misc Unsigned Bands - Bob Porter

[G]When she leaves safe harbor
Headed for the fishin' ground's un[C]known waters ag[G]ain;
[G]And you wave goodbye to the friends on shore,
[C]Steamin' with a northern wi[G]nd.
[G]The waves they roll and the wind's pickin' up,
And the ni[C]ght is comin' on fa[G]st;
[G]She turns her back to the island shore,
Through th[C]e high waves she wi[G]ll blast.

[CHORUS]
And it's
[G]Oh, oh, oh, up she rises,
The wa[C]ter rolls off of her de[G]ck;
[G]Oh, oh, oh, up she rises,
Gu[C]ided through the sea by her c[D]aptain, J[G]ack.
[G]Oh, oh, up she rises,
She's he[C]aded straight into the wi[G]nd;
[G]Oh, oh, oh, up she rises,
Sh[C]e goes back down, but she ris[D]es again.[G]

In the morning the winds are calm,
And the waters they glisten with the rising sun;
The captain says all men on deck,
There's a day's work to be done.
We climb the rails, and we hit the deck,
We've reached the fishing grounds at last.
We work the day and hear the captain say,
There's a windstorm coming up fast.

When the catch is made, we steam for home,
To a harbour safe and warm;
Through a restless night we toss and turn,
In the winds and waves of a storm.
In the northern gale and a ten foot swell,
She's a-cuttin' through the mighty sea;
And the sound of a song is heard from below,
The men you can hear 'em sing.
