Ghosts of Cape Horn Gordon Lightfoot
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] Dm C F G Dm C Dm C F G Dm C Dm
[CBORUS 1:]
All a[C]round [F]old Cape [G]Horn
[Dm]Ships of the line, [C]ships of the morn
[Dm]Some who [C]wish they'd [F]never been [G]born
They [Dm]are the ghosts [C]of Cape [Dm]Horn
[CBORUS 2:]
[F]Falderal da [C]riddle de rum
With a rim dim diddy and a [G]rum dum dum
[Dm]Sailing a[C]way at the [F]break of [G]dawn
They [Dm]are the ghosts [C]of Cape [Dm]Horn
[BRIDGE:]
[A]See them all in [Dm]sad repair
[A]Demons dance [F]everywhere
[A]Southern gales, [Dm]tattered sails
And [A]none to [Gm7]tell the [A]tale
[VERSE 1:]
N.C. D D/F# G Em
Come all of you rustic old sea dogs
Who [A]follow the [A/G]bright Southern [D/F#]Cross
You were [G]rounding the [A]horn in the [A/G]eye of a [D/F#]storm
When you [G]lost her one [A]day
And you [D]read all your [G]letters from [A]oceans a[Bm]way
Then you [A]took them to the [G]bottom of the [Em]sea[A]
[INSTRUMENTAL:] Dm C F G Dm C Dm C F G Dm C Dm

N.C. D D/F# G Em
Come all you old sea dogs from Devon
Sout[A]hampton, Pen[A/G]zance and Kin[D/F#]sale
You were [G]caught by the [A]chance of a [A/G]sailor's last [D/F#]dance
It was [G]not meant to [A]be
And you [D]read all your [G]letters, cried, "[A]Anchors a[Bm]weigh"
Then you [A]took them to the [G]bottom of the [Em]sea[A]
