Hợp Âm Chuẩn
PENANCE CRANE:
ch]Bbm[/ch] [ch]Cm[/ch
The pirate anchored on a Wednesday
ch]Bbm[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And why he came to port I wonder
ch]Bbm[/ch
To see a lady so my friends say
ch]Dm7[/ch
She dances for the sailors
ch]Abm[/ch
In a smoky cabaret bar underground
ch]Bb[/ch
Down in a cellar in a harbour town
ch]Bbm[/ch] [ch]Cm[/ch
I know he told her love was treasure
ch]Bbm[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And they would reap the fullest bounty
ch]Bbm[/ch
He only comes to port for pleasure
ch]Dm7[/ch
So when the winds of morning
ch]Abm[/ch
Blew the curtains in she woke and found he'd gone
ch]Bb[/ch
I saw his sails unfurling Thursday dawn
ch]Bbm[/ch
The pirate he will sink you with a kiss
He'll steal your heart and sail away
THE DANCER:
Saturday early we met in the cove near the forest
PENANCE:
ch]Gb[/ch
He'll leave you drowning in the flotsam Of a broken promise in the bay
THE DANCER:
(Dancing we wakened the dawn and the birds into chorus)
PENANCE:
ch]Gbm[/ch
He came again to see her
Yes I think they told me it was Saturday
THE DANCER:
(Ask Penance Crane she was out in her garden she saw us)
PENANCE:
ch]Bb[/ch
I was at sea then
I didn't see them
ch]Bbm[/ch] [ch]Cm[/ch
I don't believe what you are saying
ch]Bbm[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
It isn't true I hardly knew him
ch]Bbm[/ch
Is this some game that you are playing
ch]Dm7[/ch
Go ask the dancer she's the one who saw him last
ch]Abm[/ch
The one who drew him here
ch]Bb[/ch
He hasn't come to me since spring last year
ch]Bbm[/ch
There was a time when he would
Bring me silks and sandalwood and Persian lace
THE DANCER:
(Then came another "goodbye" and another "Please don't go")
PENANCE:
ch]Gb[/ch
And he would hold me close
And tell my sailing stories by the fireplace
THE DANCER:
(All night I dance and all day I keep watch with my sorrow)
PENANCE:
ch]Gbm[/ch
I was at sea I tell you I was
Nowhere near the mentioned murder place
THE DANCER:
(Searching for sails that don't come
And I guess but I don't know)
PENANCE:
ch]Bb[/ch
Go ask the dancer
She knows the answer
THE DANCER:
I don't know
PENANCE:
ch]D[/ch
She knows the answer
THE DANCER:
I don't know
PENANCE:
She knows the answer
THE DANCER:
I don't know
