A Drop of Nelson's Blood (Roll the Old Chariot Along)

  F#m
A drop of Nelson's blood wouldn't do us any harm
  E
A drop of Nelson's blood wouldn't do us any harm
  F#m
A drop of Nelson's blood wouldn't do us any harm
                  F#m      E    F#m
		And we'll all hang on behind.

    F#m
	Roll the old chariot along
              E
	And we'll roll the old chariot along
              F#m
	And we'll roll the old chariot along
                  F#m      E    F#m
		And we'll all hang on behind.

We'd be all right if the wind was in our sails...

We'd be all right if we make it 'round the horn...

A night on the town wouldn't do us any harm...

Another festival wouldn't do us any harm...

If the devil's in the road, we'll roll it over him...

There are many possible verses, as only roughly 12 syllables are required (10 can stretch w/holds or wait for the chord, 13 can drop one before the chord, etc) for each, with no rhyme.

Usually that means you should be picky about which of the many available verses you will sing, to avoid participant fatigue.
