[Intro]
F#m Bm F#m Bm F#m
[Verse 1]
F#m Bm F#m
In Port Mahon, I went down to the harbour
F# A C#7 F#m
A tall ship from England came up to the quay
Bm F#m
I fell in love with a young English sailor
Bm C# C#7
But he only laughed and he whispered to me:
[Chorus]
C#7 B C#7 Bm F#m
From Port Mahon I'll soon be gone
A C#7 C# F#m Bm F#m
Laughing or weeping, the world will go on.
[Verse 2]
Bm F#m Bm F#m
To Port Mahon came the order one morning
A C#7 F#m
To haul up the anchor, and not to delay
Bm F#m
So the tall ship sailed away from the harbour
Bm C#7
But still in my heart I could hear my love say:
[Chorus]
B C# Bm F#m
From Port Mahon I'll soon be gone
A C#7 F#m Gm
Laughing or weeping, the world will go on.
[Verse 3]
Gm Cm Gm Cm Gm
To Port Ma-hon came the news of a battle
A# D7 Gm
But never, oh never, a letter for me
Cm Gm
Many a tall ship came back to the harbour
Cm D7
But never the one that I was waiting to see
[Verse 4]
D7 Gm Cm Gm
Years went by and I married a-nother
A# D7 Gm
And many a woman would like to be me
Cm Gm
But sometimes I lie in my bed and I listen
Cm D7
To the sound of the wind and the sound of the sea
A# D Gm Cm Gm
And remember that sailor who whispered to me:
[Chorus]
Cm D Cm Gm
From Port Mahon I'll soon be gone
A# D7 Gm
Laughing or weeping, the world will go on.
[Ending]
