Another Great.......Great Big Sea tune
Enjoy!
Wave over Wave
G
My names Able Rodgers, a shareman am I
C G Am D
On a three masted schooner from Twillingate Isle
C G C
I've been the world over, north, south, east and west
G Am D
But the middle of knowheres where I likes it best
Chorus
C G C G
Where it's wave over wave. Sea over bow
C G Am D
I'm as happy a man as the sea will allow
C G
There's no other life for a sailor like me
C G Am D
Then to sail the salt sea boy to sail the sea
C D G
There's no other life but to sail the salt sea
Well I leave my wife lonely ten months of the year
For she built me a home and raised my children there
She never come out to bid farewell to me
Or can why a sailor must sail the salt sea
Chorus
Ah the work is hard and the hours are long
But my spirit is willing my back it is strong
And when the works over the whisky will pour
We'll dance with the girls upon some foreign shore
I've sailed the world over for decades or more
And oft times I wondered what I do it for
I don't know the answer it's pleasure and pain
But with life to live over I'd do it again
Chorus
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official GREAT BIG SEA tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
