Triangle
Gordon Lightfoot
C
INTRO:
CVERSE 1:
Oh, the gist of it all is the first day of fall
F
Is the day when my ship will set sail
G
The best of all friends will say good-bye again
C
There's still time for one last glass of aleVERSE 2:
We'll sail away proudly, our backs to the wall
F
On a southwind and lots of good cheer
G
And when we've looked over the white cliffs of Dover
C
We'll be in Bahama next yearVERSE 3:
From Bermuda on down the Triangle around us
F
Will teach us a lesson or two
G
There's many a mate who unevenly stated
C
The course he had charted was trueVERSE 4:
"Don't worry 'bout me", he said, "Go down below
F
Give a certified sailor a turn
G
Just sip on your rum or I'll give you my thumb and say,
C
'Son, you got something to learn'"CHORUS:
It's a mighty hard way to come down
G
And a mighty fine way to be found
C F C F
So hand me my grip from an old sailing ship
C F G
Put the kiss of the dawn on my lips
G7 C
With some luck tonight I might have her at my fingertipsVERSE 5:
Oh, the best of all things is the first day of spring
F
When the water runs heavy and fast
G
The mermaids have all gone to Davy Jones' Ball
C
And it seems their first trip was their lastVERSE 6:
They had so much fun they don't wish to return
F
To the beach where they lay all day long
G
They'd rather stay under and boy it's no wonder
C
When all the rock lobsters roll on
It's a mighty fine way to be foundVERSE 7:
Triangle, Triangle, oh, see my ship dangle
F
We're bound for Bahama my friend
G
Like lovers like danger, like babies like mangers
C
But that's where my storybook endsVERSE 8:
Like soldiers of fortune, believers in god
F
And all kings without crosses to bear
G
All sweepers and cleaners with no misdemeanours
C
Should try the Triangle out thereCHORUS:
It's a mighty hard way to come down
G
And a mighty fine way to be found
C F C F
So hand me my grip from an old sailing ship
C F G
Put the kiss of the dawn on my lips
G7 C
With some luck tonight I might have her at my fingertipsVERSE 9:
When she took her last tumble, the sea bottom rumbled
F
There was no confusion or blame
G
The captain said, "Men we must answer again
C
To the sea, so ye may not complain"VERSE 10:
And as they lay sleeping down there in the deep
F
With their faces turned up to the stars
G
A tuna fish turned to a mermaid in bed and said
C
"There goes another sandbar"CHORUS:
It's a mighty hard way to come down
G
And a mighty fine way to be found
C F C F
So hand me my grip from an old sailing ship
C F G
Put the kiss of the dawn on my lips
G7 C
With some luck tonight I might have her at my fingertips
