_ _ _ _ _ _ It is [Bb] the _ light that shines on the [F] _ _
waters,
_ _ calls from [G] the _ [F] tide, keeping [C] _ _ _
families [F] _ _ _ warm. _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
Those of us [F] _ sailors and [Bb] on _ windswept [F] old _ _ whalers,
_ finding _ safe _ harbor _ [D] from _ _ greenlands [C] offshore.
_ _ _ [F] _
Young _ boys [Bb] are _ racing, _ _ hold down [F]
the rhythm,
_ [Dm] _ and for the [F] _ straits to [C] go _ wailing [F] once _ _ _
[Bb] _ more.
_ [F] _ _ _
Fill [D] me [F] a _ ship [Bb] to _ sail across [F] _
_ _ oceans,

arms _ _ [C] _ above. _
_ _ The _ [F] ever [Bb] _
_ _ -lightening _ _ _ _ Miami,
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ south to _ _ Australia, _ _ [G] _ _ around the [Bb] pink _ _ pole. _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Sailor _ beware, the [Bb] _ red _ [F] skies abhor,
_ but _ _ _ _ you're _ willing, [D] a high [G] price you [C] _ _ pay.
[F] _
_ Strong arms [Bb] and winking, _ an _ all _ [F]
-glorious _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Navy _ _ [C] will _ pay you.

_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ An old [D] wind _
[F] _ _ _ that [Bb] flies _ through [F] the dark, _ _ _
[Dm] three _ _ [F] thousand _ gallons, _ [D] life deep in [C] her _ _ hold.
[F] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ Fill _ me a _ ship to [Bb] _ sail across [F] _ _
_ oceans,
[Dm] _ if you [F] were _ wind, _ _ [D] I'd answer _ [C] the _ _ call.
[Fm] _ _ [F] Further _ [Bb] than a beam, I _ never heard you [F] call me.
