Verse 1
(G major) A big tin box of books and writ (E minor) ing paper
And (C major) other things that need
to be kept dry (A minor) (C major)
(A minor) I (C major) (A major) won it as a prize at school
Three bis (E minor) cuit tins (C sharpdim) with
bread (A major) (C sharpdim) and tea
(E minor) Salted (C major) bread, lots and lots of eggs
Sep (D major) arately wrapped for fear of smashing
A (G major) frying pan, a saucepan and a (E minor) kettle
Stain plates and spoons
and forks and (C major) knives
Two ground sheets with
tents wrapped up inside
A seed cake,
a (A major) long coil of stout grass rolled
Two (E minor) sacks stuffed (C sharpdim) with (E minor)
blankets and rugs
Tins of (C major) corned beef, tins of sardines
I (D major) think we have all that we need (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (F sharpdim) (E major)
(F minor) (E minor) (A minor) (E minor) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(D major) (E major) (A major)
Swallow, I don't (E minor) know what (C major) I
would do without you (D major)
There's (B minor) barely (G major) a day that goes by,
I don't (E minor) picture you in my (A minor) mind,
and (C major) smile. (D major) (B minor)
Swal (E major) low, swal (A major) low,
I almost (E minor) think (C major) you're (E minor) (C major) alive.
Some (B major) times, (E flatdim) (F sharpdim) when
(B major) I (G major) am lost and confused
You (C major) seem to know what to (A major) do,
don't (D major) (C major) you?
Swallow, (D major) (C major) hoist up the (G major) mainsail,
haul in the an (C major) chor, (F sharpdim)
make fast the (F major) haul yard, (E minor) let go the (A minor) painter
So it's (C major) time we (G major) put (B minor) to (G major) (C major) sleep (G major)
An (C major) d set the (D major) swallow free (G major)
Farewell and adieu to you
Fair (E minor) Spanish ladies
(C major) Adieu and farewell to you, (A minor) ladies of Spain
For (A major) we're under orders to (E minor) sail
to old England (C sharpdim) (E minor)
(C major) And we'll never see all
you ladies (D major) again
We'll (G major) rant and we'll roar just like
True (E minor) British sailors
will (C major) rager from Ilver
while (A minor) the sun seethes
(A major) Until he strikes out in force
(G major) the (E minor) English channel
from (C major) our facilities, (G major) (D major) 35 leagues (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major)
(F sharpdim)
(F sharp minor) (F sharpdim) (F minor) (E minor) (A minor) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (D major) (E major)
So (A major) low, the wind (E minor) blows through
There in (C major) the east, feel (D major) the breeze
Show them (G major) that you're the best boat
(E minor) Ever to be set afloat (A minor)
Show (C major) them (D major)
Swal (E major) low
Swal (A major) low, we'll (E minor) follow you to (C major) the
end of (B major) the world (E flatdim) (Adim)
(E flatdim) And (B minor) now that (D major) the (G major) wind's in your sails
We (C major) know that we'll never fail (A major)
Let's go, (D major) swallow
(C major) Hoist up the paint sail,
(G major) haul in the an (C major) chor
Make (F sharpdim) fast the (F major) haul yard,
(E minor) let go the (A minor) painter
It's (C major) time to put (B minor) to (C major) sea
(B minor) An (G major) d (C major) set (E minor) the swallow (D major) (B minor) free (D major)
(G major) (G minor) (E flat major) (F minor) (B flat major) (E flat major)
(G major) (C major)
You
