Tone gốc: Am
The Longest Johns
Nathan Evans
There Am once was a ship that Em put to sea
The Dm name of the ship was the Am Billy of Tea
The Am winds blew up, her Em bow dipped down
O E7 blow, my bully boys, Am blow
_
To Dm bring us sugar and Am tea and rum
We'll Dm take our leave and Am go
_
When Dm down on her a right whale Am bore
The Am captain called all hands and Em swore
He'd E7 take that whale in Am tow
_
To Dm bring us sugar and Am tea and rum
We'll Dm take our leave and Am go
_
BeAm fore the boat had Em hit the water
The Dm whale's tail came Am up and caught her
All Am hands to the side, harEm pooned and fought her
_
To Dm bring us sugar and Am tea and rum
We'll Dm take our leave and Am go
_
No Am line was cut, no Em whale was freed
The Dm Captain's mind was Am not of greed
And Am he belonged to the Em whaleman's creed
She E7 took that ship in Am tow
_
To Dm bring us sugar and Am tea and rum
We'll Dm take our leave and Am go
_
For Am forty days, or Em even more
The Dm line went slack, then Am tight once more
All Am boats were lost, there were Em only four
But E7 still that whale did Am go
_
To Dm bring us sugar and Am tea and rum
We'll Dm take our leave and Am go
_
As Am far as I've heard, the Em fight's still on
The Dm line's not cut and the Am whale's not gone
TheAm Wellerman makes his Em regular call
To enE7 courage the Captain, Am crew, and all
_
To Dm bring us sugar and Am tea and rum
We'll Dm take our leave and Am go
