Quiet As The Grave by Kimber's men
Quiet As The Grave
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
G Em C
I watch the sea break on the sand
D
A hollow in my heart
G Em
I view the harbor round the bay
C D
Lit by just the stars
C D G Em
Where once the teaming fishing boats
C Am D
Rushed to dump their silver loads
G D C
Its quiet as the grave
G D C
(quiet as the grave)
[Verse 2]
G Em C
The fishing fleets all ghosts-ships now
D
The kind they like is gone
G Em
The Faithfull Lass and Wesley too
C D
They’ve sailed through their last storm
C D G Em
The lucky ones are scrapped and gone
C Am D
The rest lie rotting and forlorn
G D C
Quiet as the grave
G D C
(quiet as the grave)
[Chorus]
C G
The years of fighting arctic ice
C D
The heaving seas, the sleepless nights
C G Am
A thousand trips all spent in vain
D
They’ll never put to sea again
[Verse 3]
G Em C
The night is falling o’er the bar
D
It’s time to drink a quiet jar
G Em
And join with crewmates once again
C D
To share the memories and the pain
C D G Em
The pub where once we spent our pay
C Am D
Is somehow not the same these days
G D C
It’s quiet as the grave
G D C
(quiet as the grave)
[Verse 4]
G Em C
The silent race has run its last
D
The fishing fleets are in the past
G Em
The bravest crews that ever sailed
C D
Lashed by storm and flogged by gale
C D G Em
Gaze out on harbors round the coast
C Am D
And dream of laden fishing boats
G D C
Waiting for the grave
G D C
(waiting for the grave)
[Chorus]
C G
The years of fighting arctic ice
C D
The heaving seas, the sleepless nights
C G Am
A thousand trips all spent in vain
D
They’ll never put to sea again
