Verse 1
C 
G 
In the south of England
C 
there's a big pile of rubble
G 
which once upon a time
was a world -famous
C 
Eddystone lighthouse.
It was built way back in,
G 
C 
it was built and then this strong wind came out
G 
and they rebuilt it
and then this fell a lint on it.
C 
Anyway, there's a,
there's a song about this,
it's a very exciting song,
it starts off with this rather quaint
G 
C 
and curious introduction.
My father was the keeper
of the eddy stone light
D 
G 
And he slept with the mermaid
C 
one fine night
From this union there sprang three
D 
G 
A porpoise and a kipper
C 
and the other was me
D 
G 
The wind blows free
D 
G 
C 
F 
Oh for a life on the rolling sea
C 
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop,
G 
boop, boop, boop.
C 
Boop.
One night, as I was a trimming of the glim,
D 
G 
a singing of the verse
C 
of the evening hymn, Tyffiliwk.
I hear as on the starboard a shout,
D 
C 
ahoy.
D 
G 
And there is me mother
C 
D 
sitting on the buoy.
G 
The wind blows free.
D 
G 
C 
F 
C 
Hope for a life on the rolling sea.
G 
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
C 
Boop.
Now, what has become
G 
of my children three?
C 
D 
G 
C 
My mother then ups and asks of me.
Well, let me see now.
G 
C 
Well, the first was exhibited
as a talking freak,
D 
G 
and the other one I ate for
C 
D 
lunch last week.
G 
The wind blows free,
D 
G 
C 
F 
C 
G 
C 
hope for a life on the rolling sea.
Now tell me, mother,
before you're gone,
D 
G 
C 
where did we children three come from?
G 
Well, I've looked at a mermaid
C 
and as far as I can see,
G 
D 
G 
well, we must have been born
C 
on a gooseberry tree.
D 
G 
Ah, ha, ha, the wind blows free,
D 
G 
F 
over a  life on the rolling sea.
C 
D 
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop,
G 
C 
boop, boop, boop, boop.
Now the phosphorus gleamed
in her seaweed hair,
D 
G 
C 
and I looked again, and me mother wasn't there,
but her voice echoed delicately through the night.
D 
G 
You can go and ask the keeper
C 
of the Yeti stone light.
D 
G 
Ha, ha, ha, the wind blows free.
D 
G 
Hope for a life on the
C 
F 
C 
rolling sea.
