[INTRO:] C [VERSE 1:] Oh, the gist of it all is the first day of fall F Is the day when my ship will set sail G The best of all friends will say good-bye again C There's still time for one last glass of ale [VERSE 2:] We'll sail away proudly, our backs to the wall F On a southwind and lots of good cheer G And when we've looked over the white cliffs of Dover C We'll be in Bahama next year [VERSE 3:] From Bermuda on down the Triangle around us F Will teach us a lesson or two G There's many a mate who unevenly stated C The course he had charted was true [VERSE 4:] "Don't worry 'bout me", he said, "Go down below F Give a certified sailor a turn G Just sip on your rum or I'll give you my thumb and say, C 'Son, you got something to learn'" [CHORUS:] It's a mighty hard way to come down G And a mighty fine way to be found C F C F So hand me my grip from an old sailing ship C F G Put the kiss of the dawn on my lips G7 C With some luck tonight I might have her at my fingertips [VERSE 5:] Oh, the best of all things is the first day of spring F When the water runs heavy and fast G The mermaids have all gone to Davy Jones' Ball C And it seems their first trip was their last [VERSE 6:] They had so much fun they don't wish to return F To the beach where they lay all day long G They'd rather stay under and boy it's no wonder C When all the rock lobsters roll on It's a mighty fine way to be found [VERSE 7:] Triangle, Triangle, oh, see my ship dangle F We're bound for Bahama my friend G Like lovers like danger, like babies like mangers C But that's where my storybook ends [VERSE 8:] Like soldiers of fortune, believers in god F And all kings without crosses to bear G All sweepers and cleaners with no misdemeanours C Should try the Triangle out there [CHORUS:] It's a mighty hard way to come down G And a mighty fine way to be found C F C F So hand me my grip from an old sailing ship C F G Put the kiss of the dawn on my lips G7 C With some luck tonight I might have her at my fingertips [VERSE 9:] When she took her last tumble, the sea bottom rumbled F There was no confusion or blame G The captain said, "Men we must answer again C To the sea, so ye may not complain" [VERSE 10:] And as they lay sleeping down there in the deep F With their faces turned up to the stars G A tuna fish turned to a mermaid in bed and said C "There goes another sandbar" [CHORUS:] It's a mighty hard way to come down G And a mighty fine way to be found C F C F So hand me my grip from an old sailing ship C F G Put the kiss of the dawn on my lips G7 C With some luck tonight I might have her at my fingertips
