Last Of A Kind

D

D
He built his first boat at age thirteen
      A                        G
with planks and timbers from crooked trees
                   D
He learned how the work was done
                          A
Passed down from father to son
     D
He built forty boats over the years
      A                     G
Many battens fastened from keel to shear
                 D
And once she was on the tide
    A                      D
It fillesd his heart with pride.

         G     A    D
And the waves roll on
A                    D
Breaking the ties that bind
       G                       D                   A         D
And we wont forget though the sun must set on the last of a kind

    G     D    A     D
Na na na na na na na na

D
With chisel and saw and red nails
    A                      G
He handed down history in each detail
              D
Hard work to lessen strife
                        A
wethered hands and measured life
              D
And once the houses were resettled and the fish were caught
    A                          G
The boats were pulled up and left to rot
                              D
And a younger generation would move away
        A                   D
For the coming of a modern age

         G     A    D
And the waves roll on
A                    D
Breaking the ties that bind
       G                       D                   A         D
And we wont forget though the sun must set on the last of a kind

    G       A      G         D       A       D
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

D
Now in the harbors and the bays
   A                     G
A way of life has seen its day
                          D
With new skills found and traditions lost
                        A
In time we'll know the cost
    D
And curving wood into ribs and frames
      A               G
Is a past time for a winners day
                            D
A fading story from another time
        A           D
In every shape and line

         G     A    D
And the waves roll on
A                    D
Breaking the ties that bind
       G                       D                   A         D
And we wont forget though the sun must set on the last of a kind
         G     A    D
And the waves roll on
A                    D
Breaking the ties that bind
       G                       D                   A         D
And we wont forget though the sun must set on the last of a kind

    G       A      G         D       A       D
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
    G       A      G         D       A       D
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
