Verse 1
You (C major) seamen bold,
(G major) who plough the (C major) ocean,
(G major) See dangerous lands men never (C major) know.
(G major) It's (C major) not for run or (G major) a promotion,
(D major) (F major) No (C major) tongue can tell (G major) what they (C major) undergo.
(G major) In (C major) the blusterous wind,
in the great dark (G major) waters
Our (C major) ship went drifting on (G major) the sea
Her (C major) headgear gone,
and her (G major) rudder broken,
which brought us to extremity. (C major) (G major)
(G major) For (C major) fourteen days, hard,
sore and hungry, (F major)
(G major) Seeing but wild water (C major) and bitter sky,
Poor fel (B flat major) lows, (C major) they stood in a totter,
a (G major) -casting lot (C major) s as to
which should die. (G major)
(C major) The lot (G major) it fell on (C major) Robert Jackson,
(G major) (C major) whose family was (G major) so very (F major) (G major) great.
I'm (C major) free to die, but all (G major) my com (E flat major) rades,
(C major) let me keep lookout till the break of day. (G major)
A full (B flat major) -dressed (C major) ship,
like the sun a (G major) -glittering,
(C major) Came bearing down to their relief.
(G major) As (C major) (B flat major) soon as (C major) this glad news (G major) was shouted,
(C major) It banished all their care and grief.
The ship (G major) brought (C major) to, no longer drifting,
(G major) (C major) Safe in St. Vincent,
Cape Verde (G major) she gained.
You sea (C major) men all who hear my (G major) story
Pray (G major) you'll never suffer the (C major) like again (G major)
