The Corrie Folk Trio --- Greenland Fisheries Chords

_ _ There she _ blows! _
_ _ [F] In _ _ _ [C] _
[F] 1846, on June the 13th [C]
day,
Our gallant ship [Bb] her anchor _ _ away,
[F] And for [F] Greenland bore away [C] brave boys,
_ [C]
And for Greenland [F] bore away. _ _
_ _ [C] Well, [F] a lookout in [C] the cross-tree [F] stood,
With a [Bb] spyglass [F] in [C] his hand.
[F] There's a whale, a whale, there's a [Bb] whale, fish he cried,
_ _ [F] And she [C] blows at every span, brave boys, _ _
And she blows at [F] every span. _ _
_ _ _ Our captain he stood [C] on the quarter [F]-deck,
And a fine little man was he.
Over [F] haul, over haul, let your [Bb] davit-tackles fall,
_ _ [C] _ And on shore boats for sea, brave boys,
_ _ [F] _
And on shore boats for sea. _
_ _ Well, we struck that whale, [C] and the line gave out,
But [Bb] she gave a flourish way [D] her tail.
_ [F] Well, the boat capsized, [Bb] and we lost four men,
_ _ [C] And we never catched that whale, brave boys, _ _
And we never catched [F] that whale. _
_ _ _ To lose the [C] man, our captain he [F] said,
Well, it [Bb] grieves my heart full _ sore,
[F] But, oh, to lose that [Bb] fine big whale,
_ _ [F] Well, it [C] grieves me ten times more, brave boys,
_ _ [F]
Well, it grieves me ten [C] times _ _ _ more.

_ _ Now, Greenland [C] is a dreadful [F] place,
It's a place that's never free,
[F] Where there's ice and snow, and the [Bb] whale-fishes blow,
_ _ [F] And the [C]
daylight's out on the sin-grave, brave boys,

And [C] the daylight's out on the sin _ _
