Navigator (UKULELE CHORDS) by Pogues
[Intro]~
C C F C C F G7
[Verse 1]~
C F C
The canals,.. and the bridges,.. the embankments and cuts,..
F C G7
They blasted and dug with their sweat and their guts,..
C F G7
They never drank water but whiskey by pints,..
C F C G
And the shanty towns rang with their songs and their fights!
[Chorus]~
C F C
Navigator,.. Navigator,.. rise up and be strong,..
F C G7
The morning is here and there's work to be done,..
C F G7
Take your pick and your shovel and the bold dynamite,..
C F C G
For to shift a few tons of this earthly delight,..
C F C G
Yes,.. to shift a few tons of this earthly delight!
[Verse 2]~
C F C
They died in their hundreds with no sign to mark where
F C G7
Save the brass in the pocket of the entrepreneur!
C F G7
By landslide and rockblast they got buried so deep
C F C G
That in death if not life they'll have peace while they sleep!
[Chorus]~
C F C
Navigator,.. Navigator,.. rise up and be strong,..
F C G7
The morning is here and there's work to be done,..
C F G7
Take your pick and your shovel and the bold dynamite,..
C F C G
For to shift a few tons of this earthly delight,..
C F C G
Yes,.. to shift a few tons of this earthly delight!

[Verse 3]~
C F C
Their mark on this land is still seen and still laid
F C G7
The way for a commerce where vast fortunes were made
C F G7
The supply of an Empire where the sun never set
C F C G
Which is now deep in darkness,.. but the railway's there yet!
[Chorus]~
C F C
Navigator,.. Navigator,.. rise up and be strong,..
F C G7
The morning is here and there's work to be done,..

Take your pick and your shovel and the bold dynamite,..
