Agh, I worked it out once, but I've lost the bit of paper. But I'm sure it's nothing wild - five or six chords max.

Do you got any idea with them, I got a lot of ds and gs

It's a great song. I've had another try - I worked it out to my voice - it might not be the key of the record.

Slow bit - 'I'm cutting up her pure white dress etc.." is
G (very brief on the G for first syllable), C, D

The up-tempo bit is as follows.... I think! Might be some missing

("The slave ship...)
G, C, Am, D, G, B7

("To go and plunder...)
Em, Am, C, D, Em ("begins")

Seems to me, Neil is a bit of a Max Boyce !!

I bet he gets drunk and hogs the karaoke.

The getting drunk bit is DEFINITELY true!

LOL, Max Boyce indeed. And Verbal, I DO always get up for karaoke when I'm pissed - and I'm pissed now, so full marks!

Yep, sorry, been out, so only just noticed my texts - and the one about the London meetup. Will be in touch!
