[Am] Die, die, die, [Em] die, die, [Am] die, die, die, die!
They sailed from port one [G] morning when the weather, it was [Am] fair A gentle breeze had pushed them, [G] and no one gave [Am] a care
They laughed [C] and danced and sang that night [G] and opened up [Am] a keg They're off to catch the monster [G] whale that took the [Am] captain's leg
Die, die, die!
[G] [Am] The captain said, a piece of [G] gold for him who sees [Am] my whale.
So bend your backs and row [G] me lads, I know that we [Am] won't [Em] fail.
[Am] Bend your backs [C] and row [G] me lads, and take me to [Am] me whale.
Tonight we'll [C] sing and [G] dance, and tomorrow night [Am] we'll sail.
We'll sail into [C] the harbor [G] and the brand [Am] new sea.
We'll show them [C] all we [G] captured, the monster on [Am] the sea.
[G] [Am]
They spied the whale one morning, [G] when the weather [Am] it was fair.

I'll take this [C] whale myself, he [G] cried, the weak can [Am] stay behind.

[G] [Am] The whaler came so close, [G] that it almost [Am] tipped the boat.
The captain [A] raised his [G] harpoon, and he rammed [Am] it down its throat.
The whaler gave [C] a mournful [G] cry, and lifted its great [Am]
tail.
And brought it down, a smashing [G] on this small [Am] boat like a gale.
Now a hundred years have passed, [G] since the captain and his [Am] men.
Went down to spend eternity [G] in Davy [Am] Jones' den.
The whaler [C] goes on living, [G] but inside it [Am] wears a scar.
And [A] if you're ever near that place, [G] a voice calls [Am] from afar.
