INtro - Am - C -Am - C - Am - C - G - Am

(verse 1)

Am C

If the waves roll rough as in days before

G Am

Still we put our boats to sea

C

The take has been tough, we’re counting on more

G Am - C - Am - G - Am

To make the season pay

(verse 2)

It was back in ’83 my brothers and me

laid our poor father in his grave

Even though he’s dead and gone, his voice lives on

In the hiss and pull of the waves

(chorus)

C G

We’ll carry on, carry on

F C G

sing these words through all the damage done

F C F

The old salt would say, I my father’s son

Am C

Come hell or high water

G Am

We’ll carry on,

(verse 3)

In smokey gray rooms, beneath bare lightbulbs,

The accusations fly

What the hell do they want, they’ve taken enough

From this way of life once mine

Chorus and Am-C/B-C - Am-C/B-C - Am-C/B-C-G-Am

Verse4

It’s a merciless scheme, not a fisherman’s dream

The way the tide has turned

For not long before, by these restless shores

A man could his living earn

Chorus

Hell or high water

Hell or high water

Hell or high water
