                 RUN, COME, SEE JERUSALEM


Well it was nineF-teen hundred and twenty-nine (run, come, see)
I remember that dayC7 pretty well
NineF-teen hunF7-dred and twenBb-tynine
Run, come, seeF Je-ruC7-sa-lemF

They were talkF-ing 'bout a storm on the island (run, come, see)
My god, what a beauC7-tiful morning
TalkF-ing 'bout a stormF7 on the isBb-land
Run, come, seeF Je-ruC7-sa-lemF

There were threeF sail leaving at the harbor (run, come, see)
They were the EthC7-el and the Myrtle and Pretoria
ThreeF sail leavF7-ing at the harBb-bor
Run, come, seeF Je-ruC7-sa-lemF

Now the EthF-el was bound for Fresh Creek (run, come, see)
With the maC7-mas and the children on board
The EthF-el  was boundF7 for FreshBb creek
Run, come, seeF Je-ruC7-sa-lemF

And the MyrF-tle was bound for Staniel Quay (run, come, see)
My god, what a beauC7-tiful morning
The MyrF-tle  was boundF7 for StanielBb Quay
Run, come, seeF Je-ruC7-sa-lemF

And Pre-torF-ia was out on the ocean (run, come, see)
Rocking down on her beamC7 in the swell
Pre-torF-ia was outF7 on the ocBb-ean
Run, come, seeF Je-ruC7-sa-lemF

My god, then a bigF sea built up in the northwest (run, come, see)
And the captain come a runC7-ning for the tiller and a
bigF sea builtF7 up in the northBb-west
Run, come, seeF Je-ruC7-sa-lemF

Then the firstF sea hit the Pretoria (run, come, see)
And the mamas come a runC7-ning for their children and the
firstF sea hitF7 the Pre-torBb-ia
Run, come, seeF Je-ruC7-sa-lemF

And the sailor go downF-ward for the bottom (run, come, see)
My god, what a beauC7-tiful morning
sailF-or go downF7-ward for the botBb-tom
Run, come, seeF Je-ruC7-sa-lemF

Now GeorgeF Brown, he was the captain (run, come, see)
He shouts "Now chilC7-dren come pray"
GeorgeF Brown, heF7 was the capBb-tain
Run, come, seeF Je-ruC7-sa-lemF

He says comeF now and witness your judgement (run, come, see)
And the women all a cryC7-ing for the Daniel-god
ComeF now and witF7-ness your judgBb-ment
Run, come, seeF Je-ruC7-sa-lemF

There were thirF-ty-three soul on the water (run, come, see)
My god, what a beauC7-tiful morning (slower here, to end)
ThirF-ty-three soulF7 on the watBb-ter
Run, come, seeF Je-ruC7-sa-lemF


This is the Clam Chowder version, as best I can remember, with much improved
lyrics.  It helps to have someone sing the counterpoint (run, come, see), and
provide a beat.
