EmCold (022000@1)February and all is not well
There's few will sleep easy this night
Am (x02210@1)                       GDown (320003@1)on the dockside, grim silent men standing
Bm (x24432@1)      Am (x02210@1)        EmUnder (022000@1)the pale yellow light
        Em (022000@1)       Bm (x24432@1)       Em (022000@1)             BmThere's (x24432@1)scarcely a murmur and laughter there's none
   Em (022000@1)               Bm (x24432@1)     EmOf (022000@1)whispering there's barely a sound
          Am (x02210@1)                    GFor (320003@1)their thoughts are away, down there in the bay
           Em (022000@1)          Bm (x24432@1)           EmWhere (022000@1)it's said that the Lairdsfield is down

    Cm (x3101x@1)                              BbBut (x1333x@1)tonight there are ten who'll work never again
Gm (355333@1)     Dm (xx0231@1)             GmCounted (355333@1)among the drowned dead

       Dm (xx0231@1)                 CBy (x32010@1)the breakwater side and along by the Gare

      Gm (355333@1)        Dm (xx0231@1)         GmSee (355333@1)a few feet of keel nothing more
