Enter The Haggis – White Squall chords

INTRO: C

VERSE:
          C                                    Am      G       FWell it's just my luck to have the watch, with nothing left to do
       C                F                  Am                 GBut to watch the deadly waters glide as we roll north to the 'Soo',
C                                  Am       Em     FWonder when they'll turn again and pitch us to the rail
    C                  G                FWhirl off one more youngster in the gale.

    C                               Am     G       FThe kid was so damned eager. It was all so big and new.
C            F                  Am               GNever had to tell him twice, or find him work to do.
    C                                Am     Em       FAnd evenings on the mess deck he was always first to sing,
        C               G                CShow us pictures of the girl he'd wed in spring.


CHORUS
      G                                    F                  CBut I told that kid a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted.
     F                 C                Am               GThey go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted."
      C                Dsus2             Em             FBut tonight a red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall,
        Am             G          FAnd her lover's gone into a white squall.


       C                                  Am     G      FIt's a thing that us oldtimers know. In a sultry summer calm
      C                 F               Am              GThere comes a blow from nowhere, and it goes off like a bomb.
      C                              Am       Em     FAnd a fifteen thousand tonner can be thrown upon her beam
          C                G              FWhile the gale takes all before it with a scream.

    C                             Am      G      FThe kid was on the hatches, lying staring at the sky.
     C               F                 Am                  GFrom where I stood I swear I could see tears fall from his eyes.
     C                                    Am        Em   FSo I hadn't the heart to tell him that he should be on a line,
C         G                 CEven on a night so warm and fine.


REPEAT CHORUS
    
            C                              Am   G      FAnd I could feel her keeling over with the fury of the blow.
      C                   F              Am           GAnd I watched the rail go under then, so terrible and slow.
           C                                    Am       Em      FThen, like some great dog she shook herself and roared upright again.
    C           G                 CFar overside, I heard him call my name.
