Old Polina Chords by Great Big Sea

There's a noble fleet of whalers, a-sailing from Dundee
Manned by pretty sailors that take them o'er the sea
On a western ocean passage we started on the trip
We flew along just like a song on a gallon whaling ship
[Eb] Was the second Sunday morning, [Cm] just after leaving port
[Bb] We met a heavy sow, a [Abm] scale, and washed [Eb] away our boat
It washed away our quarter deck, [Ab] our stanchions just as well
[Bbm] And so we [Eb] set the whole [Ab] shebang a-floating in [Bb] the gale
[Eb] For the wind was on our quarter, [Fm] the engines working free
[Bb] There's not another whaler [Ab] that [Eb] sails the Arctic Sea
Can beat the old Polina, [Fm] you need not try me sons
[Bb] We [Eb] challenged all of Great and [Ab] Small from [Bb] Dundee to [Eb] St.
John's
Our Jackman set his canvas, [Fm] for a weathered gallop steam
[Eb] And Captain Guy, the daring boy, came plunging through the stream
And Mullins and the Husky [Fm] tried to beat the bloody lot
[Bb] But to [Eb] beat the old Polina, [Ab] boys, was [Eb] something he could not
For the wind was on our quarter, [Fm] the engines working free
[Bb] There's not another whaler [Ab] that [Eb] sails the Arctic Sea
Can beat the old Polina, [Fm] you need not try me sons
[Eb] We challenged all of Great and [Ab] Small from [Bb] Dundee to St.
[Eb] John's
There's the noble Terra Nova, [Fm] a model without doubt
[Bbm] The Arctic and [Eb] Aurora, they talk so much about
Our Jackman's model mail boat, [F] the terror of the sea
[Bb] Try to beat the [Eb] old Polina [Ab] on a [Bb] passage [Eb] from Dundee
For the wind was on our quarter, [Fm] the engines working free
[Bb] There's not another whaler [Ab] that [Eb] sails the Arctic Sea
Can beat the old Polina, [Fm] you need not try me sons
[Bb] We challenged [Eb] all of Great and [Ab] Small from [Eb] Dundee to St.
_ John's _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Now we're back in old St.
[Fm] John's where rum is very cheap
[Eb] We'll drink a health to Captain Guy who brought us all a deep
A health to all our sweethearts, [Fm] and to our wives so fair
[Eb] That another ship could make the [Ab] trip, the [Eb] Polina, I declare!
For the wind was on our quarter, the [F] engines working [Bb] free
There's not another whaler that sails the Arctic Sea
Can beat the old Polina, you need not try me sons
We challenged all of Great and Small from Dundee to St.
[Eb] John's
For the wind was on our quarter, [Fm] the engines working free
[Bb] There's not another whaler [Eb] that sails the Arctic Sea
Can beat the old Polina, [Fm] you need not try me sons
[Bb] We challenged [Eb] all of Great and Small from Dundee to St.
