Chords for The Wellerman | Folk Metal Cover

There once was a ship there put to sea,
The name of the ship was the Pilioti.
The wind's blue heart held poor deep down,
Blow me, bully boys, blow!
Soon [E] may the woman [B] come
To bring us sugar and tea [A] and rum.
One [E] day when the ploughing is [B] done
We'll take [C#m] our leave and go up.
She had not been two weeks from [F#m] shore
When down on [C#m] her a right whale bore.
The captain called all hands and [G#] swore
He'd take that whale in tow.
[A] Soon [E] may the woman [B] come
To bring us [C#m] sugar and tea and [A] rum.
One [E] day when the ploughing is [B] done
We'll take our [C#m] leave and go up.
For the boat had hit the [F#] water,
The whale's [C#m] tail came up and caught her.
Her hands to the side, her poutin' [G#] water,
And she dived down below.
[A] Soon [E] may the woman [B] come
To bring us [C#m] sugar and tea and [A] rum.
One [E] day when the ploughing is [B] done
We'll take our [C#m] leave and go.
The line was cut, the whale was [F#m] freed,
And the captain's [C#] mind was not on greed.
He belonged to the whaleman's [G#] creed,
She took that [C#m] ship in tow.
[A] Soon [E] may the woman [B] come
To bring us [C#m] sugar and tea and [A] rum.
One [E] day when the ploughing is [B] done
We'll take our [C#m] leave and go.
For forty [B] days or even [A] more,
The line was [C#] slack, the tide was war,
Our boats were lost, there were only four,
But still that whale did go.
[A] Soon [E] may the woman [B] come
To bring us [C#m] sugar and tea and [A] rum.
One [E] day when the ploughing is [B] done
We'll take our [C#m] leave and go.
As far as I've [B] heard, the fight's still [A] on,
The line's not [G#m] cut, and the whale's not [C#m] gone.
The whaleman [B] makes his regular [A] call
To encourage the captain, crew and all.
Soon [E] may the woman [B] come
To bring us [C#m] sugar and tea and [A] rum.
One [E] day when the ploughing is [B] done
We'll take our leave and go.
[A] Soon [E] may the woman [B] come
To bring us [C#m] sugar and tea and [A] rum.
One [E] day when the ploughing is [B] done
We'll take our leave and go.
