Chords for Peter, Paul and Mary - Greenland Whale Fisheries (25th Anniversary Concert)

[G] _ _ _ _ The whale [D] gets dry _ _ and the _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ whale makes a [D] plunder with its head.
_ [G] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ [Am] And I love _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ [G] Greenland for [E] you, brave boy.
_ No more _ _ _ Greenland [G] for _ _ _ _ _ _ _ us.
Was in _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ 1853, on June [C] the [D] 13th day,
That [G] our [Am] gallant [Em] ship [C] her anchor [D] weighed,
[G] And for [C] Greenland sailed [D] away, brave boys,
[G] For [C] Greenland [D] [G] sailed away.
_ The cow [D] down [G] the cross-tree stood,
With a [C] spyglass in [D] his hand.
There's [G] a whale, [Am]
there's a whale, there's [C] a [D] whale, did she cry,
And [G] she goes [C] at [D] every climb, brave boys,
[G] She [C] goes [D] at every [G] climb.
The whale is her, [D] that whale, [G] and the line laid up,
But she [C] gave a plunder [D] with her tail.
[G] And the book [Am] and scythe [C] that [A] four [D] men were drowned,
[G] And we [C] never caught [D] that whale,
[G] We never [C] [Bm] caught [G] that whale.
Oh, to [D] lose that whale, [G] my captain cried,
It grieves [C] my heart [D] full so,
_ [G] But to lose [Am] our own, [C] my [D] gallant men,
[G] It grieves [C] me ten [D] times more, brave boys,
[G] It grieves me ten times more.
Oh, _
[D] Greenland [G] is a dreadful place,
It's a land [C] that's [D] never green,
[G] Where there's [A] ice and snow, and the whale [D] fishes blow,
[G] And [C] daylight [D] seldom seen, brave boys,
[G] And daylight [Bm] [G] seldom seen.
When the whale [D] gets strike, _ _ and the [G] line runs out,
And [C] the whale who rigged the [D] plunder with its _ tail,
And [G] the _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [E] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ [C] _ _ _ [A] Greenland for you, brave boys,
No [Bm] more _ [G] _ _ Greenland for you.
