Chords by Bruce Duncan
Chords are right but words might be wrong


     C5                              F5
We just lost sight of the Queen's Port light

C5            F5
Round the Bay behind us - and the

A5                      F5
Wind has blown some cold today

F5                    G5
With just a wee touch of snow.

  C5                    F5
Along the shore near Lazyhead

 C5                 F5
Hard a-beem half island

   A5                        F5
Tonight we'll let the anchor go

 G5               C5
Down in Fogarty's Cove.


Chorus:

         A5                     G5
She will walk the sandy shores so plain

D5               C5
Watch the combers roll in

      F5                  A5
'Til I come to Wild Rose Chance again

G5               C5
Down in Fogarty's Cove


Verse:
My Sal is like a raven's wing
Hair is like her mother's
With hands that make quick work of a chore
And eyes like the top of a stove
Come supper time she'll walk the beach
Wrapped in my old duffle
With her eyes upon the mast head reach
down in Fogarty's cove

She cries when I'm away to sea
Nags me when I'm with her
She'd rather I'd a government job
Or maybe go on the dole
But I love her wave as I put about
And nose into the channel
My Sally keeps a supper and a bed for me
Down in Fogarty's cove.
