Up She Rises
Up She Rises (G)
Banjo/Guitar/Bass intro….
G
When she leaves safe harbour
C G
Headed for the fishin' ground’s unknown waters again
And you wave goodbye to the friends on shore
C G
Steamin' with a northern wind
The waves they roll and the wind's pickin' up
C G
And the night is comin' on fast
She turns her back to the island shore
C G
Through the high waves she will blast
(Chorus)
G
And it's oh, oh, oh, up she rises
C G
The water rolls off of her deck
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
C G
Guided through the sea by her captain, Jack
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
C G
She's headed straight into the wind
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
F D G
She goes back down but she rises again
G
In the morning the winds are calm
C G
And the waters they glisten with the rising sun
The captain says all men on deck
C G
There's a day's work to be done
We climb the rails and we hit the deck
C G
We've reached the fishing grounds at last
We work the day and hear the captain say
C G
There’s a windstorm comin’ up fast
Chorus
G
When the catch is made we steam for home
C G
To a harbour safe and warm
Through a restless night we toss and turn
C G
In the winds and waves of a storm
In a northern gale and a ten foot swell
C G
She's a-cuttin' through the mighty sea
And the sound of a song is heard from below
C G
The men you can hear ‘em sing
Chorus Twice
