4th traste

Am G

1. Let's drink a toast to the admiral,

Am C

and here's to the captain bold,

Em Am

and glory more for the commodore,

C G

when the deeds of might are told.

Am G

They stand to the deck with the battle's wreck,

Am C

when the great shells roar and pound,

Em Am

and never they fear when the foe is near,

C G

to lay their orders down.

C F C Em

But off with your hats and three times three for every sailor's son,

F C Am G

for the men below who fight the foe, the men behind the guns :

Am G Am

oh, the men behind the guns.

Am G

2. Their hearts a-pounding heavy when

Am C

they swing to port once more,

Em Am

with never enough of the greenback stuff,

C G

they start for the leave ashore.

Am G

And you'd think perhaps the blue-blouse chaps

Am C

had better clothes to wear,

Em Am

for the uniforms of officers

C G

could hardly be compared.

C F C Em

Warriors bold with straps of gold that dazzle like the sun,

F C Am G

outshine the common sailor boys, the lads who serve the guns :

Am G Am

oh, the men behind the guns.

Am G

3. But say not a word till the shot is heard,

Am C

that tells the fight is on,

Em Am

and the angry sound of another round

C G

that says there must be guns.

Am G

Over the deep and the deadly sweep

Am C

of the fire and the bursting shell,

Em Am

where the very air is a mad despair,

C G

the throes of a living hell.

C F C Em

But down and deep in a mighty ship unseen by the midday sun

F C Am G

you'll find the boys who make the noise, the lads who serve the guns :

Am G Am

oh, the men behind the guns.

Am G

4. And well they know the cyclone blow,

Am C

loose from the cannon's steel.

Em Am

and they know the hull of the enemy ship

C G

will quiver with the peal.

Am G

And the decks will rock with the lightning shock

Am C

and shake with the great recoil,

Em Am

oh, the sea grows red with the blood of the dead

C G

and swallows up her spoil.

C F C Em

But not until the final ship has made her final run,

F C Am G

can we give the rest to the very best : the lads who serve the guns,

Am G Am

oh, the men behind the guns.
