The Ballad Of The Q4 Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

AmThe Mary and the LEmizzie they were Cmade right here

But you'll Amnever see the lEmikes of tAmhem I fear

AmThey were the fineEmst on the Csilver sea

They were bAmuilt by the Emhands of Ammen like me

Chorus

Thank you, Dad, for all your skill

But the Clyde is a river that'll no stand still

You did gey well, but we'll do more

Make way for the finest of them all, Q4

We have an order we'll fulfil

With a touch o' the master and a bit more skill

Now the backroom boys are under way

And the pens will be rolling till the launching day

There's Tam O'Hara with his burning gear

The plumber and the plater and the engineer

There's young Willie Wylie with his welding rod

They're waiting at the ready for the backroom nod

We'll burn and cut and shape and bend

We'll be welding and riveting and in the end

When the painter's dabbed his final coat

We'll be launching the finest ever ship afloat

We've worked and sweated and toiled and now

See the expert's hand from stern to bow

She's ready for the torments o' the sea

She's a credit to the Clyde and me
