Great Big Sea

[Intro]
D  C  D

   G                                 C             G
Oh Gideon lived across the bay, he's gettin' older now
    C               G                    Am             D
His boat is big and strong and bold, she has a stalward bow

       G                                  C               G
But my father's boat was second hand, one someone used be fore
    C                   G     Am               D
And after every fishing trip, My father always swore

     G
That someday he would save enough
   C                G         C             G       Em
To go to St. John's town, and buy himself a big new boat
  C         D      G        C         D      G
A boat like Gideon Brown, a boat like Gideon Brown

    G                              C               G
Con federation came around and the days of old age pension
          C              G               Am                D
He said ' Son I'm saving every cent' and this you must not mention
    G                                  C                 G
You save the baby bonus too and things just might turn a round
          C              G     Em      C         D      G
And we'll have enough to buy a boat, a boat like Gideon Brown

[Chorus]
               Em
'Cause she can punch ahead in any gale
    C                D         G
And ride the fishing ground, I often thought how proud I'd be
  C         D      G        C         D      G
A boat like Gideon Brown, A boat like Gideon Brown

G                            C            G
Many years did pass away and Dad began to fade
   C              G                  Am              D
He didn't talk of boats too much. He said 'Son I'm a fraid'
   G                              C             G
If things don't soon improve then I'll be under ground
          C           G       Em          C         D      G
Before we ever get to see our selves in a boat like Gideon Brown

[Chorus]
  G                                         C               G
I sat and held his hand one day and he said 'Son, that poli cy'
       C              G                    Am            D
The in surance is all in your name. You're the beneficia ry
    G                                       C                G
And when I'm gone they'll pay you off; then go to St. John's town
    C              G       Em      C         D      G
And buy yourself a big new boat, a boat like Gideon Brown

(Chorus 2x)
