[A]
There once was a ship that flew to sea, and the name of the ship was the Fairy of Tea.
Up her bow it [Bm] down, boom, it [A] did go.
[G] [F] Soon [C] they were weathermen, [Dm] now to take the [A] sugar and tea,
And [F] round, round [C] they went, the time is done, the tea got [Am] even cold.
[F#m] [Bm] Then two weeks from shore, down on her a [E] write went [B] forth,
The captain called all hands and [F#m] swore, take that [B] mail in [A] [G] full.
Soon [D] they [Em] come to bring the [Bm] sugar and tea, and [G] round,
One [D] day, when the time is done, the [Bm] tea got even cold.
[G#m] [C#] Loyal boats had hit the water, the whale still came [B] up and [C#] caught her,
And sent a silent boom and [C#m] fire, and she [C#] dived out [B] low.
[A] Soon [E] they, the weathermen, [B] come to bring the [C#m] sugar and tea, and [A] round,
When [E]
the time is done, we'll take our [C#] leave and go.
[A#] [D#]
[D#m] Whale's [C#] free, captain's [D#m] wife was [C#] not on [D#] three,
He belonged to the weathermen's [C#] creed, he took that [D#] ship in [C#] tow.
[B]
Soon [F#] [A#] they, the [D#m] sugar and [F] tea, and [B] round,
[F#] When the time is [Fm] done, we'll take our [D#] leave and go.
[C] [F] Thirty [Fm] days, or even more, the [F] line went slack, then tight once more,
The boats were lost, there were only four, but still that wheel did go.
[C#] Soon they [G#] come to bring the [Fm] sugar and tea, and [C#] round,
One day, [G#] when the time is done, we'll [F] take our leave and go.
[G] As far as I've heard, the fight's still on, and the lie's not caught, and the ware's not gone,
The weatherman makes his regular call, for sure it's the [Fm] captain crewman now.
[D#] [A#] [Gm] Soon they come to bring the sugar and tea, and [D#] round,
[A#] One day, when the time is done, we'll take our leave and go.
[N] Take our leave and go.
