[Am] Snaefell Tynwald, [Dm] Ben-my-Ch[Am]ree,
[Am] Fourteen ships have [E] sailed the [Am] sea.
Proudly [D] bearing [G] a Manx [Em] name,
[Am] But there's one will [Em] never a-[Am]gain.
[Dm] Oh Ellan [Am] Vannin, of the [Dm] Isle of Man Compa-[Am]ny,
[Dm] Oh Ellan [Am] Vannin, [C] lost in the [Em] Irish [Am] Sea
At [Am] One a.m. in [Dm] Ramsey [Am] Bay,
[Am] Captain Teare was [E] heard to [Am] say,
Our [D] contract says [G] deliver the [Em] mail.
In [Am] this rough weather we [Em] must not [Am] fail.
[Dm] Oh Ellan [Am] Vannin, of the [Dm] Isle of Man Compa-[Am]ny,
[Dm] Oh Ellan [Am] Vannin, [C] lost in the [Em] Irish [Am] Sea
Ocean [Am] Liners sheltered [Dm] from the [Am] storm,
Ellan [Am] Vannin on the [E] waves was [Am] born.
Her [Am] hold was [D] full and [G] battened [Em] down,
As she [Am] sailed towards far [Em] Liverpool [Am] town.
[Dm] Oh Ellan [Am] Vannin, of the [Dm] Isle of Man Compa-[Am]ny,
[Dm] Oh Ellan [Am] Vannin, [C] lost in the [Em] Irish [Am] Sea
With a [Am] crew of twenty [Dm] one Manx [Am] men,
Her [Am] passengers Liverpool [E] business [Am] men;
Fare-[Am] well to [D] Mona's [G] Isle fare-[Em]well,
[Am] This little ship was [Em] bound for [Am] hell.
[Dm] Oh Ellan [Am] Vannin, of the [Dm] Isle of Man Compa-Am]ny,
[Dm] Oh Ellan [Am] Vannin, [C] lost in the [Em] Irish [Am] Sea
[Am] Less than a mile from the [Dm] Bar light-[Am]ship,
By a [Am] mighty wave Ellan [E] Vannin was [Am] hit.
She [Am] sank in the [D] waters of [G] Liverpool [Em] Bay,
And [Am] there she lies un-[Em]til this [Am] day.
[Dm] Oh Ellan [Am] Vannin, of the [Dm] Isle of Man Compa-[Am]ny,
[Dm] Oh Ellan [Am] Vannin, [C] lost in the [Em] Irish [Am] Sea
You [Am] Manxmen [Dm] now re-[Am]member,
The [Am] third day of the [E] month De-[Am]cember,
A [Am] terrible [D] storm in [G] Nineteen [Em] Nine,
Ellan [Am] Vannin sailed for the [Em] very last [Am] time.
[Dm] Oh Ellan [Am] Vannin, of the [Dm] Isle of Man Compa-[Am]ny,
[Dm] Oh Ellan [Am] Vannin, [C] lost in the [Em] Irish [Am] Sea
