l’lI [G] tell you the tale of the [D7] Nancy Lee
The ship that got ship [G] wrecked at sea
And the bravest man was [Am] Captain Brown
'cause he [D7] played his ukulele as the [G] ship went down
[Em] All the crew were [C] in des-[Em]pair
Some rushed here and [A] some rushed [D] there.
But the [G] captain sat in the [Am] captain's chair
And he [D7] played his ukulele as the [G] ship went down
The [G] captain called to [D7] Seaman Jones
"You’d best put on your [G] working clothes.
While you can stand and [Am] play your hose,
l'|l [D7] play my ukulele as the [G] ship goes down".
[Em] All the crew were [C] in des-[Em]pair
Some rushed here and [A] some rushed [D] there.
But the [G] captain sat in the [Am] captain's chair
And he [D7] played his ukulele as the [G] ship went down
The [G] owners signalled [D7] to the crew
Saying, "Do the best that [G] you can do.
We're only insured for [Am] half a crown
So we’ll [D7] all be out of pocket if the [G] ship goes down"
[Em] All the crew were [C] in des-[Em]pair
Some rushed here and [A] some rushed [D] there.
But the [G] captain sat in the [Am] captain's chair
And he [D7] played his ukulele as the [G] ship went down
The [G] Captain's wife was [D7] on board ship
And he was very [G] glad of it
But she could swim and [Am] might not drown
So they [D7] tied her to the anchor as the [G] ship went down
[Em] All the crew were [C] in des-[Em]pair
Some rushed here and [A] some rushed [D] there.
But the [G] captain sat in the [Am] captain's chair
And he [D7] played his ukulele as the [G] ship went down
The [G] crow's nest fell and [D7] killed the crow
The starboard watch was [G] two hours slow
But the captain sang Fal- [Am] -oh- di- do
And he [D7] played his ukulele as the [G] ship went down
[Em] All the crew were [C] in des-[Em]pair
Some rushed here and [A] some rushed [D] there.
But the [G] captain sat in the [Am] captain's chair
And he [D7] played his ukulele as the [G] ship went down
And [G] that was the tale of the [D7] Nancy Lee
The ship that got ship [G] wrecked at sea
And Captain Brown was [Am] in command
Now he [D7] plays his ukulele in the [G] mermaid band
