N.C. C G
Well, Sir Robert Scott did someone break your heart

And drive you on out in the cold

To the ends of the world on a Manchurian pony
Am G
For men who believed every word that you said?
[Verse 2]
C G
Sir Robert Scott, you're a different sort,
Am G
'Cause you had the whole world on your back,
F E
And you carried that load like a good Christian soul
Am G D7
To plant England's flag deep in the Antarctic soil.
[Chorus 1]
F E7
But somebody beat you, and now you don't know.
C G
You say, "My God, my God has left me behind,
C
Now forsaken, forgotten in this ice and this snow,
G F Em Dm Am G
And I'm getting weaker yeah I will not write anymore."
[Verse 3]
C G
So Sir Robert Scott, you set back for your ship,
Am Em
'Cause your men, they were hungry and tired.

And you're not to blame for the blizzard that came
Am G
Eleven miles out from your food and your bed.
[Verse 4]
C G
Sir Robert Scott, lay your head down to sleep.
Am G
Hey it's ten years that are wasted and gone.
F E
Oh lay down for a while; let the warmth overcome you
Am G D7
And wait for the summer to come.
[Chorus 2]
F E7
'Cause that's when they'll come back around.
C G
And you say, "My God, my God has left me behind,
C
Now forsaken, forgotten in this ice and this snow,
G F Em
And I'm getting weaker yeah...

I said, "My God, my God has left me behind,
C
Now forsaken, forgotten in this ice and this snow,
G F Em Dm Am*
And I'm getting weaker yeah I will not write anymore.

I said, I'm getting weaker and I will not write anymore."
