Verse 1
Oh, (C sharp major) in 1844, (A major) (D major) on
(G major) March the eighteenth day, (A major)
We hoisted our (D major) colours to
the (G major) top of the mast,
And for
Greenland (D major) bore (A major) away, (D major) boys,
And for
Greenland bore (A major) away. (D major)
The lookout on the main (A major) mast stood, (D major)
his (G major) spine last in his hand, (A major)
With a wail, (D major) with a wail,
with a wail, (G major) pity cried,
And she blows (D major) at (A major) every span, (D major) brave boy,
and she blows at (A major) every span (D major)
The captain stood on the (A major) quarter -deck (D major)
The ice (G major) was in his eye (A major)
Overhaul, (D major) overhaul, let your (G major) gypsy fall
And go (D major) putty your (A major) boats to sea, (D major)
brave boys
And go putty your (A major) boats to sea (D major)
The boats were lowered and the (A major) men aboard
(D major) The whale (G major) was hauled in view (A major)
Resolved, (D major) resolved,
was each (G major) whaler man bold
For to (D major) steal were the whalefish (A major) (D major) blue,
brave boys
For to steal were the whalefish (A major) (D major) blue
The harpoon struck an (A major) d
the line strayed (D major) out
With a (G major) single, bloody shovel -tail
(A major) She cap (D major) sized our boat
and we (G major) lost five men
And we (D major) did not catch (A major) that (D major) whale,
brave boys (A major)
(D major) And we did not (A major) catch that (D major) whale
Delusion of those five (A major) jolly men
(D major) It (G major) grieved our captain sore
(A major) But delu (D major) sion of that spell (G major) of wild fish
Now it (D major) grieved him ten (A major) times more, (D major)
brave boys
Now it grieved him ten (A major) times (D major) more
A banker now, a cap (A major) tain, he cried, (D major)
For the (G major) winter stars to appear,
(A major) And it's time (D major) that we left
this cold (G major) country,
And for
(D major) England we (A major) will stay, (D major) brave boys,
And for
England we (A major) will stay (D major)
For
Greenland is (A major) a barren land, (D major)
A (G major) land that bears no green, (A major)
Where there's (D major) ice and snow,
And the wild (G major) fishes blow,
And the (D major) daylight's (A major) seldom seen, (D major)
pray boy, (A major)
And (D major) the daylight's (A major) seldom seen. (D major)
