• Song:

    No Hopers Jokers And Rogues

  • Artist:

    Fishermans Friends

A brilliant song from the wonderful 10-piece Fisherman's Friends of Port Isaac in 
Cornwall. I'm not sure about a couple of the chords, but this works fine for me.

VERSE 2:
Turn off your engines and slow down your wheels 
Suddenly your master plan loses its appeal 
Everybody knows that this reality's not real 
So raise a glass to all things past and celebrate how good it feels.
