No Hopers Jokers And Rogues Chords & Tabs
No Hopers Jokers And Rogues Chords
A brilliant song from the wonderful 10-piece Fisherman's Friends of Port Isaac in
Cornwall. I'm not sure about a couple of the chords, but this works fine for me.
*Sparse accompaniment*
CHORUS:
G C
Come, all you no hopers,
G D
you jokers and rogues
G C
we're on the road to nowhere,
G D
let's find out where it goes
G D C D
It might be a ladder to the stars, who knows
G C
Come, all you no hopers,
D G
you jokers and rogues.
*Full accompaniment*

VERSE 1:
G C G D
Leave all your furrows in the fields where they lie
G C
Your factories and offices;
G D
kiss them all goodbye
G D C D
Have a little faith in the dream maker in the sky
C D C D
There's glory in believing him
G C D
and it's all in the beholder's eye.
CHORUS
VERSE 2:
Turn off your engines and slow down your wheels
Suddenly your master plan loses its appeal
Everybody knows that this reality's not real
So raise a glass to all things past and celebrate how good it feels.
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
D C G
Awash on the sea of our own vanity
D C G
We should rejoice in our individuality
C D C D D
Though it's gale force, let's steer a course for sanity

CHORUS, slowing to finish on last line
