(Gary Brooker - Keith Reid)[Intro](seagulls and surf sound effects)strings (arranged for guitar):Verse 1:"All hands on deck we've run afloat"I heard the captain cryExplore the ship replace the cookLet no one leave aliveAcross the straits around the hornHow far can sailors flyA twisted path our tortured courseAnd no one left aliveVerse 2:We sailed for parts unknown to manWhere ships come home to dieNo lofty peak nor fortress boldCould match our captain's eyeUpon the seventh seasick dayWe made our port of callThe sand so white and sea so blueNo mortal place at allBreak:strings/piano (arranged for guitar):v v v v v v v vv v v v v v v vVerse 3:We fired the gun and burned the mastAnd rode from ship to shoreThe captain cried, we sailors weptOur tears were tears of joyNow many moons and many JunesHave passed since we made landAnd the salty dog, the seaman's logYour witness in my own hand[repeat string/piano break; end on w/seagulls]-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
