Verse 1
(C major) (F major) (C major) (F major) You can
(C major) see the
squares of canvas
dancing over (F major) (G major) the hori (C major) zon
You can hear the shanty wailing
to the heaving (G major) of the men
You can (F major) feel the seas up
(G major) to your knees
and you (C major) know the sea is (F major) rising
And you (C major) know that Clipper's day
has come again (G major)
To the (C major) men on high,
the postman's cry
command (F major) s a (G major) killing strain
(C major) Till every mother's son begins to pray (G major)
With a (F major) hearty shout she comes (G major) about
and she (C major) heads into the rain
(F major) And the (C major) ship has never
seen (F major) a (G major) better day (C major)
Sail (G major) ing ships and sailing men
will sail (F major) the open wa (C major) ters
Where the (F major) only thing that (C major) matters
is the wind (F major) inside the main
(G major) So all (F major) you loving moth (G major) ers
keep your eye (C major) s upon your (F major) daughters
For the (C major) sails will mend their tatters
and the mas (F major) t will (G major) rise again (C major) (F major)
Wooden (C major) beams and human dreams
are all (F major) that (G major) make her go
(C major) And the magic of the wind
upon her (G major) sail
We'd (F major) rather fight the (G major) weather
than the (C major) fishes down below,
(F major) God (C major) help us if the rigging never fails. (G major)
As the (C major) timber creaks,
the captain speaks about (F major)
the (G major) vessel's (C major) groans,
till every soul on board can hear the call. (G major)
It's (F major) nothing but the (G major) singing
of the ship (C major) inside her (F major) bones
And (C major) this is when she likes (F major) it (G major) best of (C major) all
Sail (G major) ing ships and sailing men
will sail (F major) the open wa (C major) ters
Where the (F major) only thing that (C major) matters
is the wind (F major) inside the main
(G major) So all (F major) you lovin' (G major) mothers
keep your eye (C major) s upon your (F major) daughters
For the (C major) snails will mend their tatters
and the (F major) mast will (G major) rise again (C major) (F major)
Where the (C major) current blows,
the tipper's nose
is (F major) ploughin' fields (G major) of (C major) green
Where fortune takes the crows,
we wish them well (G major)
Where men (F major) could be (G major) lost at sea
is (C major) somewhere in between
(F major) The (C major) regions of heaven and the (G major) hell
Where the (C major) saily eastern harbours
and the (F major) Califor (G major) nia shore
(C major) If you set your mind to see them,
then you can (G major)
As you (F major) count each mast goes
(G major) sailing past you,
(C major) crowder than before
(F major) Then you'll (C major) know that the first day
(F major) has (G major) come again (C major)
Sail (G major) ing ships and sailing men
will sail (F major) the open wa (C major) ters
Where the (F major) only thing that (C major) matters
is the wind (F major) inside the main
(G major) So all (F major) you lovin' (G major) mothers
keep your (C major) eyes upon your (F major) daughters
Or the (C major) sails will mend their tatters
and the (F major) mast will (G major) rise (C major) again
Sailin' (G major) ships and sailin' men
will sail (F major) the open wa (C major) ters
Where the (F major) only thing that (C major) matters
is the wind (F major) inside the main
(G major) So (F major) all you loving moth (G major) ers
keep your eye (C major) s upon your (F major) daughters
For the (C major) snails will mend their tatters
and the mas (F major) t will (G major) rise (C major) again
