Rocks of Merasheen Great Big Sea
The Rocks of Merasheen (Pittman/Byrne;Arr.GBS)
From "Fortune's Favour"(2008)
use a Capo on the fifth fret (Sounding key F major)
INTRO: C C/b Am (x2)
The f[C]ondest wish that e[Am]ver I had since the d[C]ay that I was we[Am]aned
Is to g[F]o b[C]ack and w[Em]alk a[Am]gain on the r[F]ocks of [Em]Meras[Am]heen
[C]I still recall the [Am]sad farewell I b[C]id her on that d[Am]ay
When a[F]ll u[C]pon a wh[Em]aling s[Am]hip I [F]went to e[Em]arn my [Am]pay
On the h[C]ard rocks, the r[Am]ocky rocks, The [F]rocks of [Em]Meras[Am]heen
Intro
From out of Rose au Rue we sailed to hunt the big fish down,
We sailed upon the ocean till we sailed the world around.
With girls in every port of call I did go well astray
Forsaking her I left behind Back in Placentia Bay
By the hard rocks, the rocky rocks The rocks of Merasheen
BREAK: F Em C Am | F Em C Am | C C/b Am
Now in my old and aching age I think of her once more
Of how she fared while waiting for my knock upon her door
What fate was hers I do not know but in my sleep I?ve seen
her walking on the cliffs above the rocks of Merasheen
On the hard rocks, the rocky rocks, The rocks of Merasheen
On the hard rocks, the dirty rocks The rocks of Merasheen
INTRO, repeat to end
