Intro E A x 4 times

A
Sailing to the end of the world
           E   A              E    A
My ship is grand, so tall she stands.

I’ve been trying to wake the captain
     E  A       E  A
Ahoy land, Ahoy land.

He’s been up all night with the devil
     E     A           E   A 
Been drinking up been drinking up

He’s been up all night with the devil
             E   A             E  A
Dancin’ up a storm storm storm

A
The ocean’s she’s a dancin’ all over us
    E   A         E   A
Man overboard man overboard

We got a big night up ahead of us
           E  A              E   A
Sad sailor song, the devil’s storm
           E  A              E   A
Sad sailor song, the devil’s storm

[Solo: Play E A x 8 times]

A
I said my prayers to my mumma
              E  A               E  A
Don’t cry too long, don’t cry for me

My bones lay at the bottom of the ocean
              E  A              E   A
The captain and me, my ship and me
              E  A              E   A  
The captain and me, my ship and me
