Gordon Lightfoot - High and dry

With a ^Clady-like ^Cdevotion She ^Csails the bitter ^Cocean If it ^Fwasn't for lovesick ^Fsailors There'd be ^Fnothin' left but ^Cflotsam

Singin' ^Gwhy me oh ^Fmy Is there a ^Cbetter man than ^FI I hope you ^Cfind your way back ^Ghome Before you ^Clie high and ^Fdry I hope you ^Cfind your way back ^Ghome Before you ^Cdie ^G

Her ^Csails blow like ^Cbubbles While ya ^Csip yer daily ^Cdoubles If she ^Fwasn't so fond of the ^Fweather She might ^Fgive the deckhands ^Ctrouble

Singin' ^Gwhy me oh ^Fmy Is there a ^Cbetter man than ^FI I hope you ^Cfind your way back ^Ghome Before you ^Clie high and ^Fdry I hope you ^Cfind your way back ^Ghome Before you ^Cdie ^G

One ^Cday when I grew ^Colder And I ^Cfound I could not ^Chold her She ^Ftook on a fine young ^Fskipper Who soon ^Frun her up on a ^Cboulder

Singin' ^Gwhy me oh ^Fmy Is there a ^Cbetter man than ^FI I hope you ^Cfind your way back ^Ghome Before you ^Clie high and ^Fdry I hope you ^Cfind your way back ^Ghome Before you ^Cdie ^G

Now the ^Cpleasures of the ^Charbor Don't ^Cinclude a lady ^Cbarber If it ^Fwasn't for Long John ^FSilver All of us ^Fpirates would've been ^Cmartyrs

Singin' ^Gwhy me oh ^Fmy Is there a ^Cbetter man than ^FI I hope you ^Cfind your way back ^Ghome Before you ^Clie high and ^Fdry I hope you ^Cfind your way back ^Ghome Before you ^Cdie ^G I hope you ^Cfind your way back ^Ghome A D (hold D for 4 beats) Before you lie high and dry I hope you ^Cfind your way back ^Ghome A E A (these at 1 beat each) Before you die
