Shanty Man's Life
=================
by Stephen Paulus
transcribed by Rda form the version by Mark Lanegan
---------------------------------------------------
Am C
A shanty man's life
Dm Am
Is a wearisome one
C Dm Am
Though some say it's free from care
C Am
It's the swinging of an axe
Dm Am
From morning 'till night
C Dm Am
In the forest wild and drear
C
Transported as we are
Dm Am
From a lady so fair
C Dm Am
To the banks of some lonely stream
C Am
Where the wolf, bear, and owl
Dm Am
Give a terrifying howl
C Dm Am
And disturb our nightly dreams
C
Oh sleeping at night
Dm Am
In our bunks without cheer
C Dm Am
While the cold winter winds do blow
C Am
But as soon as the morning
Dm Am
Star does appear
C Dm Am
To the wild woods we must go
C
Had we ale, wine, or beer
Dm Am
Our spirits far to cheer
C Dm Am
When we're in those woods so wild
C Am
Where a glass of whiskey shone
Dm Am
When we're in the woods alone
C Dm Am
For to pass away our long exile
Am C
A shanty man's life
Dm Am
Is a wearisome one
C Dm Am
Though some say it's free from care
C Am
It's the swinging of an axe
Dm Am
From morning 'till night
C Dm Am
In the forest wild and drear
