Pentangle - Lord Franklin Chords

[Opening]
[D]I was homeward bound one night [G]on the deep
[Em]Swinging in my hammock I [A]fell asleep
I [D]dreamed a dream and I [G]thought it [D]true
[Em]Concerning [A]Franklin and his [G]gallant [D]crew[G]

[verse 2]
[D]With a hundred seamen he [G]sailed away
[Em]O’er frozen oceans in the [A]month of May
[D]To seek a passage a[G]round the [D]pole
[Em]Where we poor [A]seamen must [G]sometimes [D]go[G]

[verse 3]
[D]Through cruel hardships they [G]mainly strove
[Em]Their ship on mountains of [A]ice was drove
[D]Only the Eskimo with his [G]skin ca[D]noe
[Em]Was the only [A]one that [G]ever came [D]through [G]

[verse 4]
[D] [G] [Em] [A] [D] [G]
[D] [Em] [A] [G] [D] [G]
[D]In Baffin’s Bay where the [G]whale fishes blow
[Em]The fate of Franklin no [A]man may know
[D]The fate of Franklin no [G]tongue can [D]tell
[Em]Lord Franklin [A]alone with his [G]sailors does [D]dwell[G]

[Closing]
[D]And now my body it [G]gives me pain
[Em]For my long lost Franklin I would [A]cross the main
[D]Ten thousand pounds I would [G]freely [D]give
[Em]To know on [A]earth that my [G]Franklin does [D]live [G] [D] [A] [G]
