     Am                                 G             Am 
They sailed from port one morning the weather it was fair 
  Am                               G             Am 
A gentle breeze it pushed them and no one gave a care 
     Am                      C                   G           Am 
They laughed and danced and sang that night and opened up a keg 
        Am                                   G                 Am 
Theyre out to catch the monster whale that took the captains leg 
    Am                                 G                Am 
The Captain said, A piece of gold for him who sees me whale

   Am                                 G                 Am      E7 
So bend your backs and row me boys I know that we wont fail! 
   Am                                   C            G     Am 
So bend your backs and row me lads and take me to me whale 
   Am                   C            G                Am 
Tonight well sing and dance and tomorrow night well sail 
      Am             C         G                    Am

      Am                C            G               Am 
Well show them all we captured the monster from the sea

     Am                                G             Am 
They spied the whale one morning the weather it was fair 
    Am                              G             Am 
The crew were white as ghosts, the Captain didnt care 
      Am               C                    G             Am 
Ill take this whale meself he cried the weak can stay behind 
     Am                             G                       Am 
The strong can share my glory and tonight theyll share my wine 
 

Interlude 
Am              G       Am

    Am                      G               Am 
The whale up closer, it was bigger than the sky 
     Am                                 G                 Am      E7 
They lowered down the longboat and they heard the captain cry

Am                   C               G            Am

   Am                   C            G                Am

      Am             C         G                    Am 
Well sail into the harbour no prouder man therell be 
      Am                C            G               Am 
Well show them all we captured the monster from the sea

    Am                              G                 Am 
The whale it came so close that it almost tipped the boat 
     Am                          G                   Am 
The captain took his harpoon and rammed it down its throat 
    Am              C                G                 Am 
The whale it gave a mournful cry and lifted its great tail 
    Am                   C               G                Am 
And brought it down a crashing on their small boat like a gale 
 


[Ponte]
 
    Am             C                G                 Am 
Now 100 years have passed since the Captain and his men 
     Am             C           G          Am 
Went down to spend eternity in Davy Jones den 
    Am               C                    G       Am 
The whale it goes on living but inside it bears a scar 
    Am               C                G               Am 
And if youre ever near that place a voice calls from afar
