Gordon Lightfoot Ghosts of Cape Horn Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:
HORUS 1:
All around old Cape Horn
Ships of the line, ships of the morn
Some who wish they'd never been born
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn
HORUS 2:
Falderal da riddle de rum
With a rim dim diddy and a rum dum dum
Sailing away at the break of dawn
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn
RI:
See them all in sad repair
Demons dance everywhere
Southern gales, tattered sails
And none to tell the tale
VRS 1:
N.C. D D/F# G Em
Come all of you rustic old sea dogs
Who follow the bright Southern Cross
You were rounding the horn in the eye of a storm
When you lost her one day
And you read all your letters from oceans away
Then you took them to the bottom of the sea
INSTRUMNTL:
HORUS 1:
All around old Cape Horn
Ships of the line, ships of the morn
Some who wish they'd never been born
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn
HORUS 2:
Falderal da riddle de rum
With a rim dim diddy and a rum dum dum
Sailing away at the break of dawn
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn
INSTRUMNTL:
VRS 2:
N.C. D D/F# G Em
Come all you old sea dogs from Devon
Southampton, Penzance and Kinsale
You were caught by the chance of a sailor's last dance
It was not meant to be
And you read all your letters, cried, "Anchors aweigh"
Then you took them to the bottom of the sea
INSTRUMNTL:
HORUS 1:
All around old Cape Horn
Ships of the line, ships of the morn
Some who wish they'd never been born
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn
HORUS 2:
Falderal da riddle de rum
With a rim dim diddy and a rum dum dum
Sailing away at the break of dawn
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn
