Shanty Man's Life- Mark Lanegan (Stephen Harrison Paulus)
(tune down half a step)
Em D Em A shanty man's life is a wearysome one D Em Though some say it's free from care Bm Em D It's the swinging of an axe from morning till night Em C Em In the forest wild and drear Transported as we are from a lady so fair To the banks of some lonely stream Where the wolf, bear and owl give a terrifying howl And disturb our nightly dreams Oh sleeping at night in our bunks without cheer While the cold winter winds do blow But as soon as the morning star does appear To the wild woods we must go And we need ale, wine or beer our spirits for to cheer When we're in those woods so wild Where a glass of whiskey shone, while we're in the woods alone For to pass away our long exile A shanty man's life is a wearysome one Though some say it's free from care It's the swinging of an axe from morning till night In the forest wild and drear
Tabbed by Juan Carlos Rial
