Wee Pot Stove

Intro E - - | E - - | E Bm - | E Esus4 Bsus4 [Verso 1] E Esus4 E How the winter blizzards blow, A E and the whaling fleet's at rest, E Esus4 E Tucked in Leith Harbour's sheltered bay, A Bsus4 E safely anchored ten abreast. PATTERN B (palm mute / chant) E Esus4 E The whalers at their stations, A E as from shed to shed they go, E Esus4 Carry little bags of coal with them, A Bsus4 E A and a little iron stove. [Refrão] E Esus4 E In that wee dark engine room, A E where the chill seeps in your soul, E Esus4 E How we huddled roon' that wee pot stove, A Bsus4 E that burned oily rags and coal, A Bsus4 E A E that burned oily rags and coal. [Verso 2] E Esus4 E Fireman Paddy worked wi' me, A E on the engines stiff and cauld, E Esus4 E A stranger to the truth was he, A Bsus4 E there's not a lie he hasn't told. PATTERN B (palm mute / chant) E Esus4 E He boasted of his goldmines, A E and of hearts that he had won, E Esus4 And his bawdy sense of humour shone, A Bsus4 E A just like a ray of sun. [Refrão] E Esus4 E In that wee dark engine room, A E where the chill seeps in your soul, E Esus4 E How we huddled roon' that wee pot stove, A Bsus4 E that burned oily rags and coal, A Bsus4 E A E that burned oily rags and coal. [Verso 3] E Esus4 E We laboured seven days a week, A E with cauld hands and frozen feet, E Esus4 E Bitter days and lonely nights, A Bsus4 E making grog and having fights. PATTERN B (palm mute / chant) E Esus4 E Salt fish and whale meat sausage, A E fresh penguin eggs a treat, E Esus4 And we trudged along to work each day, PATTERN A A Bsus4 E A through icy winds and sleet. [Refrão] E Esus4 E In that wee dark engine room, A E where the chill seeps in your soul, E Esus4 E How we huddled roon' that wee pot stove, A Bsus4 E that burned oily rags and coal, A Bsus4 E A E that burned oily rags and coal. [Verso 4] E Esus4 E Then one day we saw the sun, A E and the Factory Ship's return, E Esus4 E Meet your old friends, sing a song, A Bsus4 E hope the season won't be long. PATTERN B (palm mute / chant) E Esus4 E Then homeward bound when it's over, A E and we'll leave this icy cove, E Esus4 But I always will remember, A Bsus4 E A that little iron stove. [Refrão] E Esus4 E In that wee dark engine room, A E where the chill seeps in your soul, E Esus4 E How we huddled roon' that wee pot stove, A Bsus4 E that burned oily rags and coal, A Bsus4 E A E that burned oily rags and coal. [Refrão] E Esus4 E In that wee dark engine room, A E where the chill seeps in your soul, E Esus4 E How we huddled roon' that wee pot stove, PATTERN B (palm mute returns briefly) A Bsus4 E that burned oily rags and coal, PATTERN D (let ring and fade) A Bsus4 E A E that burned oily rags and coal.
