Florie (trad, Motley Tones version)
[Verse 1]
C F
Oh, they built the ship The Florie to sail the ocean blue,
C G7
And they claimed it was a ship that the sea would not go through,
C C7 F Cdim
But the good Lord raised his hand, said "This ship will never land".
C G7 C
It was sad when the great ship went down.
[Chorus]
F
It was sad, so sad,
C
It was sad, too bad,
C G7
It was sad when the great ship went down -- to the bottom of the (sea)
C C7 F Cdim
Captain and crew-Davy Jones has got his due-
C G7 C
It was sad when the great ship went down
[Verse 2]
C F
They were nearing to the shore, when the rain began to pour
C G7
And they found a scurvy stowaway sleeping on the floor,

So they sent him/her down below where he'd/she’d be the first to go.
C G7 C
It was sad when the great ship went down.
[Chorus]

It was sad, so sad,

It was sad when the great ship went down!
[Chorus]

It was sad, so sad,
