Snap the Line Tight James Keelaghan
INTRO: C Em D (4x)
I've got a [G]halibut boat,[D] the [Em]opening is [C]over
The [G]fish just weren't [Am]biting, our [C]catch is way [D]down
We're [C]salvagers [D]now, there's [Em]logs that are [C]waiting
We [G]pull 'em off [Am]shore and we [C]sell them in [D]town
CHORUS:
And we'll [C]snap the line [D]tight
[C]Haul them a[G]way
[C]Snap the line [D]tight
She's [Am]rocking, she's [D]free
[C]Snap the line [D]tight
[C]Haul them a[G]way
And [C]slide 'em off [Em]into the [D]sea
INTERLUDE: C Em D (2x)
[G]How many [D]thousands of [Em]acres of [C]forest
Lie [G]scattered and [Am]heaped by the [C]wind and the [D]tide
Well, the [C]companies [D]cut them and [Em]boomed them and [C]lost them
And [G]left them for[Am]ever to [C]rot where they [D]lie
She's a [G]six foot thick [D]hemlock, half-[Em]sunken in [C]sand
Gotta [G]dig out a [Am]hole to [C]pass the line [D]through
[C]Wrap her a[D]round and when [Em]she's tied and [C]ready
Then [G]stand clear a[Am]way and [C]signal the [D]crew
CHORUS:
To [C]snap the line [D]tight
[C]Haul them a[G]way
[C]Snap the line [D]tight
She's [Am]rocking, she's [D]free
[C]Snap the line [D]tight
[C]Haul them a[G]way
And [C]slide 'em off [Em]into the [D]sea
INTERLUDE: C Em D (2x)
It's [G]thirty-six [D]hours we've [Em]been without [C]sleep
Gotta [G]boom them by [Am]dawn if we're [C]making this [D]tide
It's a [C]five hour [D]haul with a [Em]Nor'wester [C]blowing
And a [G]starboard-side [Am]swell for a [C]bloody rough [D]ride
And our [G]back deck's a [D]mess of [Em]anchors and [C]peaveys
All [G]sliding and [Am]tangling in [C]cables and [D]chains
[C]We're in the [D]middle with [Em]chokers and [C]pike-poles
To [G]wrap the logs [Am]tight so they're [C]not lost a[D]gain
CHORUS:
And we'll [C]snap the line [D]tight
[C]Haul them a[G]way
[C]Snap the line [D]tight
She's [Am]rocking, she's [D]free
[C]Snap the line [D]tight
[C]Haul them a[G]way
And [C]slide 'em off [Em]into the [D]sea
CHORUS:
We'll [C]snap the line [D]tight
[C]Haul them a[G]way
[C]Snap the line [D]tight
She's [Am]rocking, she's [D]free
[C]Snap the line [D]tight
[C]Haul them a[G]way
And [C]slide 'em off [Em]into the [D]sea
CHORUS:
We'll [C]snap the line [D]tight
[C]Haul them a[G]way
[C]Snap the line [D]tight
She's [Am]rocking, she's [D]free
[C]Snap the line [D]tight
[C]Haul them a[G]way
And [C]slide 'em off [Em]into the [D]sea
CHORUS: (## repeat and fade to end ##)
We'll [C]snap the line [D]tight
[C]Haul them a[G]way
[C]Snap the line [D]tight
She's [Am]rocking, she's [D]free
[C]Snap the line [D]tight
[C]Haul them a[G]way
And [C]slide 'em off [Em]into the [D]sea
