         RUN, COME, SEE JERUSALEM

        

Well it was nine[F]-teen hundred and twenty-nine (run, come, see)

I remember that day[C7] pretty well

Nine[F]-teen hun[F7]-dred and twen[Bb]-tynine

Run, come, see[F] Je-ru[C7]-sa-lem[F]

They were talk[F]-ing 'bout a storm on the island (run, come, see)

My god, what a beau[C7]-tiful morning

Talk[F]-ing 'bout a storm[F7] on the is[Bb]-land

Run, come, see[F] Je-ru[C7]-sa-lem[F]

There were three[F] sail leaving at the harbor (run, come, see)

They were the Eth[C7]-el and the Myrtle and Pretoria

Three[F] sail leav[F7]-ing at the har[Bb]-bor

Run, come, see[F] Je-ru[C7]-sa-lem[F]

Now the Eth[F]-el was bound for Fresh Creek (run, come, see)

With the ma[C7]-mas and the children on board

The Eth[F]-el  was bound[F7] for Fresh[Bb] creek

Run, come, see[F] Je-ru[C7]-sa-lem[F]

And the Myr[F]-tle was bound for Staniel Quay (run, come, see)

My god, what a beau[C7]-tiful morning

The Myr[F]-tle  was bound[F7] for Staniel[Bb] Quay

Run, come, see[F] Je-ru[C7]-sa-lem[F]

And Pre-tor[F]-ia was out on the ocean (run, come, see)

Rocking down on her beam[C7] in the swell

Pre-tor[F]-ia was out[F7] on the oc[Bb]-ean

Run, come, see[F] Je-ru[C7]-sa-lem[F]

My god, then a big[F] sea built up in the northwest (run, come, see)

And the captain come a run[C7]-ning for the tiller and a

big[F] sea built[F7] up in the north[Bb]-west

Run, come, see[F] Je-ru[C7]-sa-lem[F]

Then the first[F] sea hit the Pretoria (run, come, see)

And the mamas come a run[C7]-ning for their children and the

first[F] sea hit[F7] the Pre-tor[Bb]-ia

Run, come, see[F] Je-ru[C7]-sa-lem[F]

And the sailor go down[F]-ward for the bottom (run, come, see)

My god, what a beau[C7]-tiful morning

sail[F]-or go down[F7]-ward for the bot[Bb]-tom

Run, come, see[F] Je-ru[C7]-sa-lem[F]

Now George[F] Brown, he was the captain (run, come, see)

He shouts "Now chil[C7]-dren come pray"

George[F] Brown, he[F7] was the cap[Bb]-tain

Run, come, see[F] Je-ru[C7]-sa-lem[F]

He says come[F] now and witness your judgement (run, come, see)

And the women all a cry[C7]-ing for the Daniel-god

Come[F] now and wit[F7]-ness your judg[Bb]-ment

Run, come, see[F] Je-ru[C7]-sa-lem[F]

There were thir[F]-ty-three soul on the water (run, come, see)

My god, what a beau[C7]-tiful morning (slower here, to end)

Thir[F]-ty-three soul[F7] on the wat[Bb]-ter

Run, come, see[F] Je-ru[C7]-sa-lem[F]

This is the Clam Chowder version, as best I can remember, with much improved

lyrics.  It helps to have someone sing the counterpoint (run, come, see), and

provide a beat.
