Verse 1
(G major) (D major) (G major) They (D major) took (G major) us jolly (D major) sailor lad (G major) s
A (C major) -fishing for (G major) the (D major) whale
On the (G major) fourth day of August (C major) in 1864, (D major)
Bound (G major) for Greenland (D major) we set sail,
brave boys,
Bound for Greenland we set sail. (G major)
The loyal cow stood (D major) on
the cross -tree's (G major) high
With (D major) a (C major) spyglass (G major) in his (D major) hand
There's a (G major) whale, there's a whale,
(C major) there's a whale for she cried
(D major) And she (G major) blows (D major) at every span, brave boys
And she blows (G major) at (D major) every span (G major)
Well, (D major) the cap (G major) tain stood
on (D major) the quarter (G major) -deck
And the (C major) sword of a man (G major) was (D major) he
Over (G major) haul, over haul, (C major) let your gavitacles fall (D major)
(G major) An d we'll launch them (D major) boats to (G major) sea,
(D major) brave boys
And we'll launch (G major) them boats
(D major) to sea (G major)
(D major) Well, we strapped (G major) that whale
and the (D major) lion played out
(G major) But she (C major) gave a (G major) flurry with (D major) her tail
And our (G major) boat capsized,
(C major) we lost seven other men
(D major) And we (G major) never (D major) caught that (G major) whale,
brave (D major) boys
And (G major) we nev (D major) er caught that (G major) whale
(D major) Oh, the (G major) losing of sev (C major) en fine sea (G major) men
Well, (C major) grieved our captain (G major) so, (D major)
But the (G major) loathing of (C major) a
bloody sperm whale. (D major)
(G major) Oh, it grieved him ten (D major) times (G major) more,
brave (D major) boys.
Oh, it (G major) grieved him (D minor) ten times (D major) (G major) more.
Oh, Greenland is (D major) a horrid place
(G major) Where (C major) us poor (D major) sailors have to go
Where (G major) the rose and the lily
nev (C major) er bloom in spring
(D major) And there's (G major) only (D major) ice and (G major) snow, brave boys,
(D major) And there's (G major) only (D minor) ice
(G major) and snow. (D major)
(G major) (D minor) (D major) (G major)
