A quick go at the traditional sea shanty "Go to sea no more" made famous by The Dubliners.
This is the original version.
 
     G       Em        G    Em      Em    G     Em   (G - Em)
When first I landed in Liverpool, I went upon a spree
   Em     G     Em       G         Em       G           G
Me money alas I spent it fast, got drunk as drunk could be
    Em           G     Em      G           Em          G      G
And when that me money was all gone, 'twas then that I wanted more
      Em          G        G           Em      Em    G        Em  (G - Em)
But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more
 
 
     G     Em         G        Em    G        Em  (G - Em)
Once more, boys, once more, to go to sea once more
      Em          G        G           Em      Em    G        Em  (G - Em)
But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more
 
 
  G         Em         G   Em        Em       G       Em   (G - Em)
I spent the night with Angeline, too drunk to roll in bed
   Em        G          Em    G           Em           G        G
Me watch was new and me money too, in the morning with them she fled
    Em   G          Em      G          Em          G       G
And as I walked the streets about, the whores they all did roar
      Em        G                G     Em           Em    G        Em  (G - Em)
There goes Jack Strapp, the poor sailorlad, he must go to sea once more
 
 
     G     Em         G        Em    G        Em  (G - Em)
Once more, boys, once more, to go to sea once more
      Em        G                G     Em           Em    G        Em  (G - Em)
There goes Jack Strapp, the poor sailorlad, he must go to sea once more
 
 
    G    Em         G       Em       Em           G      Em   (G - Em)
And as I walked the streets about, I met with the Rapper Brown
  Em        G      Em      G         Em        G         G
I asked him for to take me on and he looked at me with a frown
   Em        G        Em       G        Em     G        G
He said last time you was paid off with me you could no score
         Em         G               G         Em               Em          G        Em  (G - Em)
But I'll give you a chance and I'll take your advance and I'll send you to sea once more
 
 
     G     Em         G        Em    G        Em  (G - Em)
Once more, boys, once more, to go to sea once more
         Em         G               G         Em               Em          G        Em  (G - Em)
But I'll give you a chance and I'll take your advance and I'll send you to sea once more
 
 
    G            Em         G       Em   Em            G      Em   (G - Em)
He shipped me on board of a whaling ship bound for the arctic seas
          Em         G                Em        G        Em      G         G
Where the cold winds blow through the frost and snow and Jamaica rum would freeze
    Em       G            Em           G            Em           G        G
But worse to bear, I'd no hard weather gear for I'd spent all me money on shore
      Em          G           G           Em             Em    G      Em  (G - Em)
'twas then that I wished that I was dead and could go to sea no more
 
 
   G     Em       G        Em    G      Em  (G - Em)
No more, boys, no more, to go to sea no more
      Em          G           G           Em             Em    G      Em  (G - Em)
'twas then that I wished that I was dead and could go to sea no more
 
 
   G        Em       G         Em       Em     G     Em   (G - Em)
So come all you bold seafaring men, who listen to me song
Em       G        Em        G           Em       G      G
When you come off them long trips, I'll have you not go wrong
     Em    G          Em        G               Em       G         G
Take my advice, drink no strong drink, don't go sleeping with them whores
    Em      G                 G            Em      Em    G      Em  (G - Em)
Get married instead and spend all night in bed and go to sea no more
 
 
   G     Em       G        Em    G      Em  (G - Em)
No more, boys, no more, to go to sea no more
    Em      G                 G            Em      Em    G      Em  (G - Em)
Get married instead and spend all night in bed and go to sea no more
