x"Rant and Roar" (Trad/Arr. GBS)
From "Up" (1995)
As with many GBS tunes, use a capo on the third fret.
This one sounds best in DADGAD tuning.
intro: D G A D
D Bm G A
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Newfoundlanders
A G A
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below
D Bm G A
Until we strikes bottom inside the two sunkers
D G A (C)
when straight through the channel to Toslow we'll go
Break: C G D A | C G A |C G D A| C G A |
D Bm G A
I'm the son of a sea cook, I'm a cook in a trader
A G A
I can dance, I can sing, I can reef the main boom
D Bm G A
I can handle a jigger, I cuts a fine figure
D G A D
Whenever I gets in a boat's standing room
CHORUS, followed by break
Farewell and adieu to ye young maids of Valen,
Oderin and Presque, Fox Hole and Brule,
I'm bound for the westward to the wall with the hole in
I can't marry all or in Chokey I'll be
CHORUS X2 (second time Acapella)
Break, end on A
