Wellerman Sea Shanty akordy

There ^Amonce was a ship that put to sea

And the ^Dmname of the ship was the ^AmBilly o' Tea

The ^Amwinds blew hard, her bow dipped down

O ^Eblow, my bully boys, ^Amblow (Huh!)

Ref:^FSoon may the ^CWellerman come

To ^Dmbring us suger and ^Amtea and rum

^FOne day, when the ^Ctonguin’ is done,

We’ll ^Etake our leave and ^Amgo

She ^Amhad not been two weeks from shore

When ^Dmdown on her a ^Amright whale bore

The ^Amcaptain called all hands and swore

He'd ^Etake that whale in ^Amtow (Huh!)

Be^Amfore the boat had hit the water

The ^Dmwhale's tail came ^Amup and caught her

All ^Amhands to the side, harpooned and fought her

When ^Eshe dived down be^Amlow (Huh!)

No ^Amline was cut, no whale was freed;

The ^DmCaptain's mind was ^Amnot on greed

But ^Amhe belonged to the whaleman's creed;

She ^Etook the ship in ^Amtow (Huh!)

For ^Amforty days, or even more

The ^Dmline went slack, then ^Amtight once more

All ^Amboats were lost there were only four

But ^Estill that whale did ^Amgo

As ^Amfar as I've heard, the fight's still on;

The ^Dmline's not cut and the ^Amwhale's not gone

The ^AmWellerman makes his regular call

To en^Dmcourage the Captain, ^Amcrew, and all
