Enter The Haggis – White Squall chords

Chords:
Transpose:
INTRO: C

VERSE:
C Am G FWell it's just my luck to have the watch, with nothing left to do
C F Am GBut to watch the deadly waters glide as we roll north to the 'Soo',
C Am Em FWonder when they'll turn again and pitch us to the rail
C G FWhirl off one more youngster in the gale.
C Am G FThe kid was so damned eager. It was all so big and new.
C F Am GNever had to tell him twice, or find him work to do.
C Am Em FAnd evenings on the mess deck he was always first to sing,
C G CShow us pictures of the girl he'd wed in spring.
CHORUS
G F CBut I told that kid a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted.
F C Am GThey go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted."
C Dsus2 Em FBut tonight a red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall,
Am G FAnd her lover's gone into a white squall.
C Am G FIt's a thing that us oldtimers know. In a sultry summer calm
C F Am GThere comes a blow from nowhere, and it goes off like a bomb.
C Am Em FAnd a fifteen thousand tonner can be thrown upon her beam
C G FWhile the gale takes all before it with a scream.
C Am G FThe kid was on the hatches, lying staring at the sky.
C F Am GFrom where I stood I swear I could see tears fall from his eyes.
C Am Em FSo I hadn't the heart to tell him that he should be on a line,
C G CEven on a night so warm and fine.
REPEAT CHORUS
C Am G FAnd I could feel her keeling over with the fury of the blow.
C F Am GAnd I watched the rail go under then, so terrible and slow.
C Am Em FThen, like some great dog she shook herself and roared upright again.
C G CFar overside, I heard him call my name.
FINAL CHORUS (end final chorus with C instead of F)
