[Am]
We are two mariners, our ship's sole survivors
In this belly of [E] a whale
Its ribs are sealing beams, its guts are carpeting
I guess we have some [Am] time to kill
You may not remember me, I was a child of three
And you a lad of [E]
eighteen
But I remember you, and I will relate to you
How our history's in [Am] a weave
[F] At the time you were a rake and a [Am] rastabout
[F] Spending all your money on boys [E] and howls
[F] [E] [Am]
You had a charming air, all cheap and debonair
My widowed mother found [E] so sweet
And so she took you in, her sheets still warm with him
Now filled with filth and [G] foul [Am] disease
[F] As time wore on, you proved it, dead, ridden, drunk [Am] and mad
[F] Leaving my mother a poor [E] consumptive rat
[F] Oh, [E] [Am] oh, and then you disappeared
Your gambling arrears, the only thing you left [E]
behind
And then the magistrate reclaimed our small estate
And my poor mother lost [Am] her mind
[F] Then one day in spring my dear sweet mother [Am] died
But [F] before she did, I took her hand as she dying [E] cried
[F] Oh, [E] [Dm] oh, and
[Am]
then you disappeared

[F] [E]

[G] [Am]
[G] [A] [E]
[Am] took me fifteen [G] [Am] years to swallow all my tears
Among the urchins in [Em] the [E] street
Until a friary [Em] [E] took pity and hired me
To keep their best rate [Am] nice and near
But [F] never once in the employ of [Am] these holy men
[F] Did I ever once turn my mind from the thought [E] of revenge [F] Oh
[E] [Am]
One night I overheard the prior exchanging words
[E] With a penitent whaler from the sea
The captain of his ship, who matched you totative
Was known for one [Am] cruelty
[F] The following day I shipped to sea with a [Am] privateer
[F] And in the whistle of the wind I could [E] almost hear her air [F] Oh
[E]
[Dm] And
[Am]
to our [Dm]
wicked grief [E]
[F]
[E] [C]
there is one thing [G] I must say to you

then that fateful [Ab] [Am] night we had [B] you [Am] in our sight
After twenty months [Abm] at [A] [E] sea
Your starboard flank abeam, I was getting my muskets clean
When came this rumbling [A] from beneath
[F] The ocean shook, the sky went black, and the captain [Am] quailed
And [F] before us flew the angry joys of a giant
[E] whale
[C]
[F] [Em] [F]
Don't [E]
[F]
know how I [D] survived, [Am] the cruel was chewed alive
I must have slipped [Em] between [E] his teeth
But oh what providence, what divine intelligence
That you should survive as [G] well as [Am]
me
[F] It gives my eye great joy to see your eyes fill with [Am] fear
[F] So lean in close and I will whisper the last words [E] you'll hear
