[Murmansk Run]
[Verse 1]
C F
Your father sailed on the Murmansk Run
C G F G Am
To guide the flocks of the ships home one by one
Em F Am
Grey beneath the Arctic sun
D Fm
Or the glow of Northern Lights
[Verse 2]
C F
I see you have his photograph
C G F G Am
His eyes are watching for dangers fore or aft
Em F Am
Trading days beneath the sun
D F C F C F
For the cold and wintry nights of the Murmansk run
[Verse 3]
C F
He never did come home to you
C G F G Am
It's long forgotten, a childhood dream or two
Em F Am
But something of the cold got through
D Fm
And it lingers in your eyes
[Verse 4]
C F
On days like these you hear the wind
C G F G Am
And feel the chill of the ice floes closing in
Em F Am
Trading days beneath the sun
D Fm C F C F
For the cold and wintry nights of the Murmansk run
