Jack Was Every Inch A Sailor chords by Ed McCurdy, Various
Verse 1
C
Upon the isle of Newfoundland
G
there lived a sailor boy.
He was a handsome sailor lad,
C
his father's pride and joy.
He was born and boarded
his father's ship
G
on a dark and stormy morn,
and he helped the crew
harpoon a whale
on the day that he was born.
C
G
Jack was every inch a sailor,
C
five and twenty years a whaler.
G
Jack was every inch a sailor,
C
he was born upon the bright blue sea.
When Jack grew up to be a man,
G
he sailed from shore to shore.
He sailed his ship around the world
a dozen times or more.
C
Harpooning whales was play to him,
G
for he was very strong,
And he was also very tall,
C
and his beard was very long.
G
Jack was every inch a sailor,
C
five and twenty years a whaler.
G
Jack was every inch a sailor,
C
he was born upon the bright blue sea.
One night while Jack was standing, watch,
a storm began to blow.
G
It blew so hard
C
that soon the ship was tossing to and fro.
A great big wave rolled up to Jack
G
and washed him to the rail.
And he was tossed into the sea
C
and swallowed by a whale.
G
Old Jack was every inch a sailor.
C
Five and twenty years a whaler.
G
Jack was every inch a sailor.
C
He was born upon the bright blue sea.
Now when that whale had
swallowed Jack,
G
he soon began to shake,
for this old whale had got himself
a mighty stomachache.
C
Well now, said Jack,
this poor old whale don't
G
know what he's about,
so he grabbed that whale all by the tail
C
and pulled him inside out.
G
Jack was a French sailor,
C
Five and twenty years a whaler,
G
Jack was a French sailor,
C
He was born upon the bright blue sea.
