Chords
Lord Franklin
G C Em7 Am
Was homeward bound one night on the deep
Am D7
Swinging in my hammock I fell asleep
G C G
Dreamed a dream that I thought was true
Am D7 C G
Concerning Franklin and his gallant crew
G C Em7 Am
With a hundred seamen he sailed away
Am D7
To the frozen oceans in the month of May
G C G
To seek a passage around the Horn
Am D7 C G
Where we poor sailors would sometimes go
G C Em7 Am
Through cruel misfortune they vainly strove
Am D7
The ship on mountains of ice was drove
G C G
To where the Eskimo’s king Kinuite
Am D7 C G
Was the only man who ever came through
G C Em7 Am
In Baffins Bay where the whale fish go
Am D7
The fate of Franklin no man may know
G C G
The fate of Franklin no tongue can tell
Am D7 C G
Lord Franklin sailors dwell
G C Em7 Am
And now my burden it brings me pain
Am D7
For my Lord Franklin I’d sail the main
G C G
A thousand pounds I would surely give
Am D7 C G
If Lord Franklin could only live
