[Intro]
D Bm A5 D
 
[Verse 1]
Em F#m
We all laugh and tell old stories
G D
just sittin' in the dark
Em F#m
And not one of them knows that
G D
when we land I'll disembark
C D G
We've spent so much time together
C D G
out prowling on the sea
C D
that somehow this strange group of men
G D
became a family
Em F#m
We started out no more than boys
G D
with more guts than brains
Em F#m
Doing what they said could not be done
G D
they thought we were insane
C D G
One by one they wandered to their bunks
C D G
ready for another day
C D
And I'm left alone here with the stars
G D
Where they can't hear me say:
 
[Chorus]
A Em
Thank you, lads, for all you are
D
And all you've been to me
A Em
Thank you for the laughter and
D
For all the memories
Bm F#m
Thank you, for being there
G A
Through the good times and the bad
D Bm
And Thank you for being the
A D
best mates I've ever had!
 
[Verse 2]
Em F#m
We have seen success and we've
G D
watched our fortunes grow
Em F#m
And We have shared more happy times
G D
than many men will know
C D G
We were all there together
C D G
when each of us found a wife
C D
and we proudly watched the children grow
G D
and have a happy life!
Em F#m
And we have shared great tragedy
G D
that none should bear alone
Em F#m
and with every loss and heartache
G D
our brotherhood has grown
C D G
I'm not the first to leave, it's true
C D G
some have gone before
C D
I know without me the crew
G D
will reinvent once more
 
[Chorus]
A Em
Thank you, lads, for all you are
D
And all you've been to me
A Em
Thank you for the laughter and
D
For all the memories
Bm F#m
Thank you, for being there
G A
Through the good times and the bad
D Bm
And Thank you for being the
A D
best mates I've ever had!
 
[Verse 3]
Em F#m
With that the coughing starts again
G D
the crimson hard to hide
Em F#m
I'm sorry my brothers
G D
hope you never know I lied
C D G
But this one won't get better, lads
C D G
and I know it's true
C D
So I choose to walk away
G D
before I burden you
Em F#m
I will say the time is right
G D
for me to go my way
Em F#m
And I know you'll understand
G D
or at least that's what you'll say
C D G
I will wish you luck and watch you
C D G
sail upon the sea
C D
For the first time in forever
G D
I will just be me
 
[Chorus]
A Em
Thank you, lads, for all you are
D
And all you've been to me
A Em
Thank you for the laughter and
D
For all the memories
Bm F#m
Thank you, for being there
G A
Through the good times and the bad
D Bm
And Thank you for being the
A D
best mates I've ever had!
 
A Em
Thank you, lads, for all you are
D
And all you've been to me
A Em
Thank you for the laughter and
D
For all the memories
Bm F#m
Thank you, for being there
G A
Through the good times and the bad
D Bm
And Thank you for being the
A D
best mates I've ever had!
D Bm
And Thank you for being the
A D
best mates I've ever had!
