O My Chesapeake by Joe Pug
O My Chesapeake
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:E
Capo:4th fret
[Verse 1]
C F
When I was a young man
C
I released my feet
Am
And they carried me strong
G
Across the trouble I'd meet
F
When without peace
C
When weary the most
Am
They'd head for the east
G C
And I'd sleep on the coast
[Verse 2]
C F
When the summer's was ripe
C
Come and knock on my door
Am
See my friends and their pipes
G
Sit upon my porch
F
Alive was the highway
C
The light was the bridge
Am
I got high in a way
G C
I haven't got since
[Chorus]
C
Oh my Chesapeake
G
Oh my Chesapeake
F
Forget all the things
C G
My soul does seek
C
The boy needs no dinner
F
When the tobacco is sweet
G C F G C
I'll sleep tonight on the Chesapeake
[Verse 3]
F C
We ran down our night in rundown hotels
Am G
With balcony cries and bottles and bells
F C
To abandoned weeks, to hangover days
Am G C
To not quit tomorrow what we could quit today
[Chorus]
C
Oh my Chesapeake
G
Oh my Chesapeake
F
Forget all the things
C G
My soul does seek
C
I guess the moment is best
F
When the moment is brief
G C F G Am F G Am F G Am D/F# G
I'll sleep tonight on the Chesapeake
[Verse 4]
C F C
And now every summer I hear no call
Am
If my friends are not lawyers
G
They don't work at all
F
You can call that man history
C
Who lives in the past
Am G C
Can you blame him for asking for something to last?
[Chorus]
C
Oh my Chesapeake
G
Oh my Chesapeake
F
Forget all the things
C G
My soul does seek
C
Another Sunday dead
F
Another needless week
G C
I'll sleep tonight upon the Chesapeake
F G C F G C
I'll sleep tonight upon the Chesapeake
