D'Arcy Broderick - Black gold

^GThere's good money don't you fear, Said the ^Cman down by the ^Gpier, For the s^Cea is a l^Gife that is ^Dcalling; ^GWon't you chase the new black gold, Where o^Cnce a herring ^Gshoal, There's black gold in the ^Ddeep waters, ^GJohnny.

Where the ^DNorth Sea wind is ^Gblowing, And the day is a lifetime too ^Emlong, Where we ^Gdrill, sweat and toil to ^Ctake the ocean's ^Goil, There's black gold in the ^Ddeep waters, ^GJohnny.

^GThere are men from Scapa Flow, And the k^Cid from Sandy ^GRow, SEDCO men^C who look al^Gl spiff and spa^Drkle; ^GOn a money spending binge, Joy r^Ciding on the r^Gigs, And you'll chase the new black gold ^Dwithout your ga^Grgle.

Where the ^DNorth Sea wind is ^Gblowing, And the day is a lifetime too ^Emlong, Where we ^Gdrill, sweat and toil to ^Ctake the ocean's ^Goil, There's black gold in the ^Ddeep waters, ^GJohnny.

^GThere's twelve hour shifts to do, Playing nur^Cse mate to the ^Gcrew, There's a l^Coneliness and f^Gear in empty o^Dceans; ^GFrom the Shetlands to the Kesh, They're ch^Casing oil instead of ^Gfish, For black gold in the deep w^Daters, Joh^Gnny.

Where the ^DNorth Sea wind is ^Gblowing, And the day is a lifetime too ^Emlong, Where we ^Gdrill, sweat and toil to ^Ctake the ocean's ^Goil, There's black gold in the ^Ddeep waters, ^GJohnny.

^GFor the rig's me second home, Sitting prett^Cy o'er the f^Goam, A way of li^Cfe that's new^G to every n^Dation; ^GAnd there's a hundred extra quid, To go div^Cing with the s^Gquid, For black gold in the de^Dep waters, J^Gohnny.

Where the ^DNorth Sea wind is ^Gblowing, And the day is a lifetime too ^Emlong, Where we ^Gdrill, sweat and toil to ^Ctake the ocean's ^Goil, There's black gold in the ^Ddeep waters, ^GJohnny.
