[Eb] [Bb] [Ab]
[Eb] All you [Ab] seabaring men, [Eb] you're bound to sail again, far away from [Cm] your morning [Fm] down in
[Bb] Portsmouth, with [Eb] your masts [Ab] dropped high, [Eb] and we're [Cm] in good [Eb] pie, with the [Bb] lassies you
left [Eb] on shore.
[Bb] I'm a fine strong crew, [Ab] and I tell them [Eb] what to do, [Bb] I'm the captain of this ship, the
[Ab]
fine [Eb] lady.
She's my joy [Ab] and my pride, [Eb] and she's twenty [Cm] metres wide, [Eb] and I call [Bb] her the ship, the [Ab] fine [Eb] lady.
So haul [Ab] down the rigging, [Eb] for we're bound to [Cm] sail away, across the raging ocean, [Fm] and
we're sailing [Bb] out today, [Eb] and if we [Ab] do turn, [Eb]
you're bound to hear us say, we'll be going
[Bb] to sea [Eb] once more.
[Bb] I'm a fine strong crew, [Ab] and I tell them [Eb] what to do, [Bb] I'm the captain of this ship, the [Ab] fine lady.
[Eb] She's my joy [Ab] and my pride, [Eb] and she's twenty metres wide, and I call [Bb] her the ship, the [Ab] fine [Eb] lady.
Well my [Ab] shipmates and me, [Cm] we sail from sea to sea, with [Eb] the [Cm] wind a-whistling [Ab] through the [Bb] sail.
[Eb] Though the crew [Ab] gets no rest, [Eb] they think [Cm] that I'm the best, [Eb] but I bail [Bb] them one and [Eb] all
out of jail.
[Bb] I'm a fine strong [Ab] crew, and I tell [Eb] them what to do, [Bb] I'm the captain of this ship, the [Ab] fine [Eb] lady.
She's my joy [Ab] and my pride, [Cm] and she's twenty metres [Eb] wide, and I call [Bb] her the ship, the [Ab] fine [Eb] lady.

the brisk [Ab] salt air, [Eb] just blowing [Cm] through me hair, [Eb] at the [Bb] wheel of the ship, [Eb] the fine lady.
