Verse 1
(D major) In 1843, on March the thirteenth day, (A major)
Our gallant (D major) ship,
her (G major) anchor weighed, (A major)
(G major) Bound for (D major) Greenland,
(G major) bore away (B minor) brave (A major) foes,
Bound (G major) for (D major) Greenland, (A major) bore away
(D major) The lookout in the (A major) crow's -tree's (D major) nest
With a (G major) spyglass in (D major) (A major) his hand
There's a (G major) whale, there's a (D major) whale
There's a (G major) whale, fishy boys (A major)
An (G major) d she blows with ev 'ry span, (B minor)
great (A major) laws
An (G major) d she (D major) blows with (A major) ev 'ry span (D major)
The captain stood on the (A major) quarter -deck
(D major) For a (G major) gallant (D major) man was (G major) (A major) he
Haul away, (G major) haul away,
(A major) let your (G major) belly -tackles (A major) fall
And (G major) put your boats to sea, (B minor) break (A major) oars
(G major) And put your (D major) (A major) boats to sea (D major)
The boats were launched
and the men (A major) aboard
(D major) And the (G major) whale was soon in (A major) view
Please (G major) row, please row,
all the way and (A major) o 'er
And we (G major) stared at where the
whale fish flubbering (B minor) (A major) was
And we (G major) stared at where the
(A major) whale fish he (D major) blew
The harpoon struck and the (A major) line played (D major) out
And she gave (G major) an awesome (D major) flick of her (A major) tail
The boat (G major) capsized, (A major) lost four (G major) sailor (A major) boys,
(G major) And we never caught that whale, (B minor)
very (A major) poor,
An (G major) d we never caught (A major) that (D major) whale.
Losing of that bloody (A major) spur -whale (D major) fish,
Oh, it (G major) creeped our (D major) captain sore, (A major)
But the (G major) losing of those (D major)
jolly (G major) sailor (A major) buddies,
Oh, (G major) it grieved him ten times more, (B minor)
Gregor's, (A major)
Oh, (G major) it grieved him ten (A major) times more. (D major)
Now Greenland is a (A major) barren (D major) place,
Tis a (G major) place that's (D major) seldom green, (A major)
There's (G major) ice and snow, (D major)
and the (G major) whale -fish he (A major) blows,
An (G major) d a life seldom seen (B minor) bring (A major) all,
(G major) And a life seldom (A major) (D major) seen. (A major) (D major)
