[Verso 1]
 
E         Esus4         E             Esus4 
My name is Calypso, and I have lived alone 
E              Esus4     E        Esus4 
I live on an island, and I 'waken to the dawn 
A           Asus4   A                   Asus4 
Long time ago,       I watched him struggle with the sea 
E             Esus4         E                 Esus4 
I knew that he was drowning, and I brought him in to me 
Asus4    Asus4      A       A 
Now today, come morning light 
C               Cmaj7          F#m 
He sails away; after one last night, 
E          Esus4       E      Esus4 
I let him go 
 


[Verso 2]
 
E         Esus4         E             Esus4 
My name is Calypso; my garden overflows 
E         Esus4         E             Esus4 
Thick and wild and hidden is the sweetness there that grows 
A           Asus4   A                   Asus4 
My hair, it blows long as I sing into the wind 
E         Esus4         E             Esus4 
I tell of nights where I could taste the salt on his skin 
C         Cmaj7                               F#m 
Salt of the waves and of tears and though he pulled away 
E          Esus4 
I kept him here for years 
E         Esus4            E     Esus4 
Now I let him go 
 


[Verso 3]
 
E         Esus4         E             Esus4 
My name is Calypso; I have let him go 
E         Esus4         E             Esus4 
In the dawn he sails away to be gone forever more 
A           Asus4   A                   Asus4 
And the waves will take him in again, but he'll know their ways know 
E         Esus4         E             Esus4 
I will stand upon the shore with a clean heart and my song in the wind 
C                                  Cmaj7 
The sand will sting my feet and the sky will burn 
F#m                            E           Esus4 
It's a lonely time ahead; I do not ask him to return 
E   Esus4       E  Esus4 
I let him go; I let him go
