Locked In Ice Acordes

[Intro]
Eb F
 
 
[Vesre]
        Eb       Gm
In the year of 1831
  Eb                 Bb      F
I sailed towards the setting sun
         Eb                Bb           F
Bringing food and fuel and guns for the Hudson Bay Company
     Cm               Gm
From Vancouver to the northwest shore
     Eb                Bb       F
Like I’d done these 15 years or more
Eb                     Gm
Little did I know what lay in store
       F
On the icy Beauford Sea
Cm                    Gm
Trading cargo for the finest furs
Eb                    Bb  F
Trapped by Innuit and voyagers
 
 
[Verse]
       Eb           Gm
It was early winter came that year
        Eb              Bb     F
Through closing pack ice I did steer
       Eb              Gm
Just a narrow patch of sea lay clear
    F
Now I was homeward bound
    Cm               Gm
But as I crossed the Beauford Sea
    Eb                 Bb     F
The pack ice it closed in on me
    Eb           Gm
It was a fearful guarantee
     F
That I’d be run aground
   Cm              Gm
To barrow then the crew did go
   Eb               Bb       F
To shelter from the wind and snow
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb        Eb         F
Locked in ice half a hundred years
 
Bb       Eb       F
Drifting with the flow
 
Eb        Gm         F
Where the ice goes, I go
 
 
[vesre]
    Eb                 Gm
It seemed that fortune looked my way
    Eb           Bb        F
For early on the following day
    Eb               Gm
The ice broke up and moved away
        F
And the crew came back aboard
    Cm           Gm
But 2 miles from Alaska's shore
    Eb                Bb      F
The pack ice it blows in once more
        Eb                Gm
Cut the skyline where I’d sailed before
       F
Like a white and deadly sword
    Cm              Gm
The captain and the 30 crew
       Eb            Bb        F
To the safety of the shore withdrew
 
 
[Chorus]
          Bb        Eb         F
But I was locked in ice half a hundred years
Bb       Eb       F
Drifting with the flow
Eb        Gm        F
Where the ice goes, I go
 
 
[Verse]
Eb                  Gm
So without a crew I drifted slow
      Eb              Bb       F
Stuck fast within the pack ice flow
       Eb               Gm              F
Till a group of hunting Innuit found me floating just offshore
Cm                  Gm
2 years later I was seen again
        Eb                    Bb       F
Heading northward through the snow and rain
        Eb                    Gm
The salvage men they tried to stake their claim
        F
But the ice made them withdraw
       Cm             Gm
It was in the year of 69
      Eb              Bb    F
I was sighted for the final time
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb        Eb         F
Locked in ice half a hundred years
Bb       Eb        F
Drifting with the flow
Bb        Eb         F
Locked in ice half a hundred years
Eb        Gm        F
Where the ice goes, I go
 
 
[Verse]
      Cm                      Gm
I’m a little grey ship on the Beauford Sea
Eb               Bb     F
Doomed to travel endlessly
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb        Eb         F
Locked in ice half a hundred years
Bb       Eb       F
Drifting with the flow
Bb        Eb         F
Locked in ice half a hundred years
Eb        Gm        F     Eb F    Eb F
Where the ice goes, I go… I go…   I go….
