Heart of Oak

A somewhat romantic view of life at sea, yet a pretty imaginative
tune


Heart of Oak


-5    -7     -7  -7   -7     -8  7   -7   -6  6    -5  
So cheer up my lads,  'tis to glo-ry we steer

-6   6       6       -6     -7   -7   7    -8    8     7    -8
To add some-thing new to this won-der-ful year,

-5   -7   -4    5    -5    6     -6     -7    -4   5    -5
To hon-our we call you, not press you as slaves,

8       -8   7   -7    -9  -6  -7   7     7  7      -5
For who are so free as the sons of the waves?

7        7     7     -6   -7    7       -8  -8  -8   -7   7   -8
Heart of  Oak are our ships, Jol-ly tars are our men,

-8    7   -7     8     -7  6     -7  -7     -5      -5   4
We al-ways are rea-dy, stea-dy, boys, stea-dy.

-5        6      -7     7      -8    7    -7  9     -5  -5   -7
We'll fight and we'll con-quer a-gain and a-gain.
