Jam Along & Learn...
[Db] I've done my [Fm] level best [Bbm] to whomever's concern
[Ab] [Db] For children [Fm]
of whalers [Gb] we all [Ab] take a turn
Now we [Ebm] lie in [Ab] our oar's boat, [Db] a six [Cm]
[Bb]-man at [Bbm] sea
[Ebm] And travel [Ab] for home [Db] with rations [Bb] for three
[Ebm] Two ounces [Ab] fresh water [Db] and hard [C] [Bb] tack a day
[Ebm] But we'll see [Ab] [Db] Nantucket again
Forty [Fm] days and forty [Bbm] nights we followed the [Fm] wind
[Db] In the southern [Fm] Pacific [Gb] many miles [Ab] from land
[Ebm] The first [Ab] maid of Essex [Db] and few crew [Bbm] with me
[Ebm] Our captain [Ab] George Pollard [Db] is lost [Bbm] at the sea
[Ebm] And I look to [Ab] the east and [Db] see [Fm] nothing [Bbm] but blue
[Ebm] So what [Ab] can us starving [Db] men do but sing?
[Ab] Sing [Gb] we're on our [Ab] way home
[Db] Across [Ab] the Pacific [Gb] and through [Ab] the unknown
[Db] With God [F] as our shepherd then [Bbm]
no harm shall [Gb] pass
We'll pee in [Ab] [Db] Nantucket at last
How this [Gb] skin of blistered leather pulls [Gbm] tight on our [Db] skulls
As rations [Fm] of [Bbm] wind'll away
[Db] And oh how [Gb] our dreams every night of [Gbm] our stomachs so full
[Ebm] But awake to [Ab] find water [Db] to last two [Bbm] more days
[Ebm] Our spirits [Ab] all broken [Db] our minds are [Bbm] all crazed
[Ebm] And oh how [Ab] I'd kill for [Db] just one more [Bbm] good meal
[Gb] But home's a [Ab] little farther [Db] away
So sing, [Ab] sing [Gb] we're on our [Ab] way home
[Db] Across [Ab] the Pacific [Gb] and through [Ab] the unknown
[Db] With God [F] as our shepherd [Bbm] then no harm shall [Db] pass
[Gb] We'll pee in [Ab] [Db] Nantucket at last
But oh when [Gb] I look at my crewmen I [Gbm] see them looking back at me
[Db] Humanity [Fm] gone from [Bbm] their [Db] eyes
Once we [Gb] were men of our [Db] God [Gbm] and brothers at sea
[Ebm] Those times weren't [Ab] so long ago [Db] but how [Bbm] quick they pass
[Ebm] Was once [Ab] deaf a stranger [Db] now approaching [Bbm] us fast
[Ebm] But we are [Ab]
Nantucket [Db] the proud [Fm] and [Bbm] the strong
For [Ebm] Nantucket [Ab] we must [Db] travel long
But oh how [Gb] these hunger bangs drive [Gbm] all the thoughts in my brain
[Db] And body [Fm] dries up in [Bbm] the sun
[Db] Oh cause [Gb] it needs to have fresh water [Gbm] that the six of us brave
So [Ebm] six [Ab] bits of paper [Db] are tossed in [Bbm] the [Ebm] cab
And six [Ab] men reach in and [Db] each pull out [Bbm] a scrap
[Ebm] And one man [Ab] of six [Db] with the [D] [Bbm] unlucky draw
[Ebm] Is one man [Ab]
to help feed [Db] us all
[N]
