B Bmaj7 B7
How far can sailors fly

And no one left alive
Verse 2:
We sailed for parts unknown to man
Where ships crawl home to die
No lofty peak nor fortress bold
Could match our captain's eyes
Upon the seven seasick days
We made out for the coast
The sand so white and sea so blue
No mortal place at all

Verse 3:
We fired the gun and burned the mast
And rode from ship to shore
The captain cried, we sailors wept
Our tears were tears of joy
How many moons and many Junes
Have passed since we made land
A salty dog, a seaman's log
Your witness my own hand
[repeat string/piano break; end on Db-5 w/seagulls]
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
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 PROCOL HARUM 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.
