Verse 1
(D major) Chante, (F sharp major) (B minor) chante,
(D major) sing a little song (E flatdim) of (E minor) clans. (A major)
(D major) We bear Seattle's (B minor) social life,
(E minor) debauches (B minor) and wassail,
Airborne (D major) to Hardee's (B minor) lonely (A major) shore,
(B minor) last place to send (E major) our mail.
(A major) The (D major) pounding seas of (B minor) Charlotte Strait,
Campana (G major) braves with (B minor) glee.
Up Fitzhugh (E major) Sound,
we're (B minor) Kwak Shaw (B major) bound,
(E major) to Hawkeye's (E minor) friendly (D major) lee. (Edim)
(D major) We're clams, (C sharp minor) clam (F sharp major) s, (B minor) clams,
(A major) (D major) Cruis (E minor) ing (A major) (C sharpdim) without (C sharp major) madam (D major) s.
(A major) We start (G major) out for (C sharp major) sal mon,
But (D major) wind up (Daug) just (B major) clammin'.
We're (E major) clams, (A major) clam (F sharp major) s,
(F sharp minor) (D major) clams. (D minor) (B minor) (D minor) (D major) (D minor) (D major)
(D minor) The (D major) little necks'll make it
If you steam them (F sharp major) up .
(D major) The (D minor) butter clams are dandy
(B flat major) in (G major) a chowder cup
If (D major) broth is what you want,
(B minor) well, any (A major) clam (E major) will (F sharp major) do
The (B minor) cockles and the (E major) mussels
and the (A major) geoduck too
The (D major) only (B minor) time to dig them's
(G minor) when the (D major) tide is low
But (D minor) problem number one
is no one wants to go
And (B minor) problem number two is
simply just too (F sharp major) big
Prob (B minor) lem (E major) number three is
no one (A major) wants (A minor) to dig
(A major) That (A minor) climb (E minor) ing hand (A major) is really grime
But how you (E minor) gonna (A major) get
him to pass that sand?
We (D major) burrow for the bivalve
down in Plumper Bay
And scratch and (B minor) claw and (D minor) sift
the silt out Quatnaway
(G major) At (D major) Nimbkish we don't (D minor) seek fish
but the juicy (A major) clam (F sharp major)
(C major) If (B minor) all we (E major) get is empty shells,
(A major) who gives a damn?
With (D major) all our (B minor) gear, (D major) a little beer,
we hit Clem too
And talk to (B minor) all the (D minor) clammy
people in Namu
And (B minor) then to Bellacoola if you
(A major) haven't (C sharp minor) (F sharp major) heard
(C sharpdim) It's (B minor) Indian,
but (A major) today goes (E major) it's (A major) a dirty (A minor) word
(A major) Don't understand if blast (A minor) ing's banned
Now (A major) how you gonna (E major) get them
(A flataug) to pass (A major) that sand
We're (D major) Clam (B minor) s, (F sharp major) Clams, (B minor) Clams,
(D major) Cruising (C sharp major) without madam (D major) s.
(B minor) Max (A major) bells with his horses, (C sharp major)
(D major) While we eat ten (B major) courses
Of (E major) Clams, (D major) Clams, (D major) Clams.
Thank you, the Lorelei from Goose Bay.
you (D major)
