[Am] Di Di Di Di [G] Di De Di [Am] Di [Am] [Am] [Am]
{c:}
They [Am] sailed from port one [Am] morning when the
[G] weather it was [Am] fair
A [Am] gentle breeze it [Am] pushed them, and
[G] no one gave a [Am] care
They [Am] sang and danced and [C] laughed that night and
[G] opened up a [Am] keg
They're [Am] out to catch the [Am] monster whale that
[G] took the captain's [Am] leg
Oh [Am] Di Di Di Di [G] Di De Di [Am] Di [Am]
{c:}
The [Am] Captain said "a [Am] piece of gold for
[G] he who sees my [Am] whale"
So [Am] bend your backs and [Am] row me lads, I
[G] know that we won't [Am] fail
[Am] Bend your backs and [C] row me lads and
[G] take me to me [Am] whale.
To [Am] night we sing and [Am] dance, and
[G] tomorrow night we [Am] sail.
We [Am] sail into the [C] harbour, no
[G] prouder men there'll [Am] be;
We'll [Am] show them all we've [Am] captured, The
[G] monster from the [Am] sea
Oh [Am] Di Di Di Di [G] Di De Di [Am] Di [Am] [Am] [Am]
{c:}
They [Am] saw the whale one [Am] morning when the
[G] weather it was [Am] fair
The [Am] men were white as [Am] ghosts, but the
[G] Captain didn't [Am] care
I'll [Am] take this whale my- [C] self he said, The
[G] weak can stay be-[Am] hind
The [Am] strong can share my [C] glory and
to-[G] night they'll share my [Am] wine
Oh [Am] Di Di Di Di [G] Di De Di [Am] Di [Am]
The [Am] whale it came up [Am] closer, it was
[G] bigger than the [Am] sky
They [Am] lowered down the [Am] longboats, and they
[G] heard the captain [Am] cry
Oh [Am] Bend your backs and [C] row me lads and
[G] take me to me [Am] whale.
To-[Am] night we sing and [Am] dance and
[G] tomorrow night we [Am] sail.
We [Am] sail into the [C] harbour, no
[G] prouder men there'll [Am] be;
We'll [Am] show them all we've [Am] captured, the
[G] monster from the [Am] sea
Oh [Am] Di Di Di Di [G] Di De Di [Am] Di [Am] [Am] [Am]
{c:}
The [Am] whale it came so [Am] close, that it
[G] almost tipped the [Am] boat
The [Am] captain raised his [Am] spear, and he
[G] rammed it down it's [Am] throat
The [Am] whale it gave a [C] mournful cry and
[G] lifted it's great [Am]* ta-a-ail
And [Am] brought it down a-[Am]smashing their wee
[G] boat worse than a [Am]* gale
{tc:#0000FF}{soi}slowly{eoi}{tc:}
A [Am]* 100 years have [Am]* passed, since
the [G]* Captain and his [Am]* men
[Am]* Went down below to [Am]* spend their days
in [G]* Davy Joneses' [Am]* den
The [Am]* whale it goes on [C]* living but in-[G]* side it wears a [Am]* scaaar
{tc:#0000FF}{soi}slower still {eoi}{tc:}And [Am]* if you’re ever near that place
a [G]* voice calls, from a-[Am]* fa-a-ar
{c: Hauntingly, slowly}
[Am] Bend your backs and [C] row me lads and
[G] take me to me [Am] whale.
To [Am] night we sing and [Am] dance, and
[G] tomorrow night we [Am] sail.
We [Am] sail into the [C] harbour, no
[G] prouder men there'll [Am] be;
[Am] We’ll show them all we've [Am] captured, the
[G] monster from the [Am] sea
[Am] We’ll show them all we've [Am] captured, the
[G] monster from the [Am] sea
[Am] We’ll show them all we've [Am] captured, the
[G] monster from the [Am] sea
[Am] We’ll show them all we've [Am] captured, the
[G] monster from the [Am]* sea
