Morecambe Bay
Verse 1.
Dm
Out beyond the street lamp's
Am A
And the calliope's roar,
Dm
Past the wrack and samphire,
Am A
Beyond the shore,
Dm
I have seen walking through the tide
Gm
As the rain cuts through the spray,
Dm
Chinese Cockle pickers
Am A
On the sands of Morecambe Bay
Dm
I stood beside them in the corner shop
Am A
And in the market too
Dm
I should have spoken to them
Am A
Told them everything I knew;
Dm
Like our mothers told us
Gm
As we went out to play
Dm
Never try and race the tide
Am A
On the sands of Morecambe Bay
Dm
For the tide's the very devil,
Gm
It will run you out of breath,
Dm
Race you to the sea shore,
Am A
Chase you to your death,
Dm
Yes the tide's the very devil
Gm
And the devil has his day
Dm Am A Dm
On the lonley cockle grounds of Morecambe Bay
Dm
Saw them sending money orders home
Am A
There hard earned pay
Dm
Tales of crossing borders
Am A
On the road to Morecambe Bay;
Dm
Sleeping in crouded rooms
Gm
On cold hard floors
Dm
Sutch dreamless life
Am A
Is not worth dieing for
Dm
Now I see them in the distance
Am A
Laid out in the morning light,
Dm
Migrant workers,
Am A
Twenty-three where drowned last night.
Dm
Their final phone calls
Gm
Half the world had crossed
Dm
Between the river esureys
Am A
They raced the tide and lost.'
Dm
For the tide's the very devil,
Gm
It will run you out of breath,
Dm
Race you to the sea shore,
Am A
Chase you to your death,
Dm
Yes the tide's the very devil
Gm
And the devil has his day
Dm Am A Dm
On the lonley cockle grounds of Morecambe Bay
Dm
In Fujian and Xelang
Am
They mourn their next of kin,
Dm
Gang masters with snake tattoos,
Am A
Call money lones back in
Dm
Broken hearted parents
Gm
Watch their children stow away,
Dm
To die among the
Am A Dm
Cockle banks of Morecome Bay
Dm
For the tide's the very devil,
Gm
And the devil has his day
Dm Am A Dm
On the lonley cockle grounds of Morecambe Bay
