Lord Grenville — Al Stewart
Chords and lyrics for Lord Grenville by Al Stewart (key of D).
Verse 1
[A]Go and tell Lord Grenville that the [C#m]tide is on the turn
[F#m]It's time to haul the anchor up and [D]leave the [E]land [A]astern[Bm]
[C#]We'll be gone before the dawn [D]returns[B]
Like [A]voices on the [G][D]wind[A][G][Fm]
[A]Go and tell Lord Grenville that our [C#m]dreams have run aground
[F#m]There's nothing here to keep us [D]in this [E]shanty [A]town[Bm]
[C#]None of us are caring where we're [D]bound[B]
Like [A]voices on the [G][D]wind[A][G][Fm]
[A]And come the [D]day you'll hear them [E]saying
They're [E7]throwing it all [A]away
[D]Nothing more to [E]say, just throwing it [C#]all [F#m][F]away[C#maj7][Dm]
[G#] [G#m] [D#] [F]
(the riff between that break and the next verse goes something like this:
)
[Bb] [F] [C] [F]
[A]Go and fetch the captain's log and [C#m]tear the pages out
[F#m]We're on our way to nowhere now, can't [D]bring the [E]helm [A]about[Bm]
[C#]None of us are left in any [D]doubt[B]
We [A]won't be back [G][D]again[A][G][Fm]
[A]Send a message to the fleet they'll [C#m]search for us in vain
[F#m]We won't be there among the reaches [D]of the [E]Spanish [A]Main[Bm]
[C#]Tell the ones we left home not to [D]wait[B]

They're [E7]throwing it all [A]away
[D]Nothing more to [E]say, just throwing it [C#]all [F#m][F]away[C#maj7][Dm]
[Em]Our time is [G]just a point [D]along a line
[Dm]That runs forever with no [A]end
[Em]I never [G]thought that we would [D]come to find
[Dm]Ourselves upon these rocks [A]again, oh [Dm]no[A][Dm][A]
[A] [Amaj7] [A7] [D] [Dm] [A]
[A]Go and tell Lord Grenville that the [C#m]tide is on the turn
