Cargoes (Masefield)

Am Em F Am
Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir,
G F Am
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,
C G
With a cargo of ivory,
Dm Am
And apes and peacocks,
G F Am
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.

Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus,
Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores,
With a cargo of diamonds,
Emeralds, amythysts,
Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores.

A E D A
Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack,
C#m F#m C#m B
Butting through the Channel in the mad March days,
A C#m
With a cargo of Tyne coal,
B F#m
Road-rails, pig-lead,
D A G
Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.
