Shores of Ol' Erin - Samantha Owings

Bm. A. Bm Below the sea and rollin waves Bm E. Bm Lies our comrades in watery graves G. D. A. Bm Still our ship sailing bold and brave Bm. A. Bm To reach the shores of old Erin Many's the man that we had lost Great our fight and great our cost Through storms and battle our ship was tossed to reach the shores of old Erin Chorus: G. D. Oh hoist the sails up me lads F#m. Bm. A Oh tis the worst that we've had Em. D. Oh we're sure to be glad Bm. A. Bm When we reach the shores of old Erin A pirate ship came sailing from west In coats and chains of gold they were dressed and laid seven fine men down to rest May they find shores of old Erin We fought them back with swords of steal Somehow we won. It seemed surreal But most of our goods they managed steel Meant for the shores of old Erin Oh hoist the sails up me lads Oh tis the worst that we've had Oh we're sure to be glad When we reach the shores of old Erin Our troubles had not ended there Soon we were met by A creature of terr'r From the depths of hellwater no life would it spare Like N'er we've seen in Old Erin Our cannons were shot, our swords did fly Vanquished it was when we blinded its eye But not before fifteen men did die Ne'r to see old Erin Oh hoist the sails up me lads Oh tis the worst that we've had Oh we're sure to be glad When we reach the shores of old Erin The skys grew dark but we've seen it before The winds they blew and the rain did pour We'd make it right through our captain swore And reach the shores of old Erin The waters filled the decks below Cries of despair, morale was low For those that did live, our souls we owe When we get to the shores of old Erin Oh hoist the sails up me lads Oh tis the worst that we've had Oh we're sure to be glad When we reach the shores of old Erin Oh hoist the sails up me boys Oh all our strength to employ Oh it brings us great joy To see the shores of old Erin
