White Port chords

CAPO 3

[First chorus is a capella]

[CHORUS]

For [D]all its want of wanderin', the [G]sky was sad and [D]blue
The [D]grass was green from envy, no [A]roots under my shoes
I [G]ride the longest, hardest, fastest [D]routes there are to [A]ride
And [D]all is done with style and grace and [A]white port at my [D]side (yodel)

I [D]came into the world of things a [G]pauper I am [D]told
[D]For the things I never got, I'm [A]thankful to my bones
With [G]all its lack of gold and green my [D]life has good sup[A]ply
Of [D]treasure in the silver stars and [A]white port at my [D]side

[REPEAT CHORUS]

My [D]Denver lass I promised that I'd [G]be out west that [D]day
I [D]headed east as fast as my two [A]feet could back away
Al[G]l compliments and commitments I've [D]dispensed far and [A]wide
But [D]all was said with smiling face and [A]white port at my [D]side

[REPEAT CHORUS]

[SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS]

Now [D]pirate lads and scallywags are [G]brethren to [D]me
A [D]sailin' man with no good plan, that's [A]something I could be
But [G]just as quick will I jump ship if [D]told to get in [A]line
[D]Send my bones to Davy Jones with [A]white port at my [D]side

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Now [D]lastly I will say that I ain't [G]seen a bad run [D]yet
An' [D]when the boss says time to get, I'll [A]get with no regret
With [G]heaven made I'll stake some shade and [D]air myself out [A]right
[D]Double check that none suspect the [A]white port at my [D]side
With [G]heaven made I'll stake some shade, I'll [D]stay there till I [A]die
[D]Double check that none suspect the [A]white port at my [D]side

[REPEAT CHORUS]

I [G]ride the longest, hardest, fastest [D]routes there are to [A]ride
And [D]all is done with style and grace and [A]white port at my [D]side (yodel)
