34 years and a birthday at sea

Capo 5th

VERSE
C                    Am
The captain - can be a prick
C                          Am

The boat can rock – I will get sick

F                                             C

You can’t always choose your crew

F                           Am

Sometimes your crew choose you

F                              C

I lie on my back all day

Am                         F

And have nothing nice to say

C                                                       G

I’m cursing the world, and everything that lives

CHORUS

Am                            F

But as long as you are by my side

C                            Am

Everything will turn out right

F                    G                  C

You are the blessing that I count everyday

VERSE

The wind blows too much

Then the wind blows not enough

I’ve had enough of the sea

And the seas had enough of me

I know I sound like a bore

We’re not going anywhere

I’m raging inside, as the motor drums my head

CHORUS

CHORUS 2

I count the hairs on your head

The toes upon your feet

My blessings are so many everyday

MIDDLE

It’s my birthday

You couldn’t bake a cake

You got so upset

But you found a way around it

It was a wonderful birthday

I wrote this song

Which will go on when my mind is gone

Which won’t be very long

Cos I’m old now, and going grey

CHORUS
