[D] [E] [A] It was Friday morn [D] when we set [A] sail, we were not far from the land
Our captain he swine, a mermaid so fair, [D] with a comb [B] and a glass in [A] her hand
And the ocean [D] waves [A] do roll, and the stormy winds do blow
[A] And we poor sailors [D] are skipping [A] at the top, [D] while the [A] landlubbers lie down below, below, [F#m] below
[D] While the landlubbers lie [A] down below
Then up spoke the captain of our gulling ship, [D] and a fine [B] smoking man [A] was he
He [A] said this fishy mermaid has warned me of our doom, [D] we shall sink to the bottom [A] of the sea
And the ocean waves do roll, and the stormy winds do blow
And we poor sailors are skipping at the top, while the [E] landlubbers lie down below, [F#m] below, below
While the [E] landlubbers lie down [A] below

He said I have a wife [D] in Boston by [A] the sea, [D] but tonight [E] a widow she [A] will be
The ocean waves do roll, and the stormy winds [E] do blow
And we poor sailors [D] are skipping [A] at the top, [D] while the [E] landlubbers lie down [A] below, below, below
[D] While the [E] landlubbers lie down [A] below
Then up spoke the captain of our gulling ship, and a crazy old butcher was he
He said I care much more for my pots and my pans [D] than I do [E] for the bottom [A] of the sea
The ocean waves do roll, and the stormy winds do blow
And we poor sailors are skipping at the top, while the landlubbers lie down below, below, below

[A]
And we poor sailors [D] are skipping [A] at the top, [D] while the [A] landlubbers lie down below, below, [F#m] below
[D] While the [A] landlubbers lie down below
Three times around [D] spun our [A] gulling ship, [D] and three [E] times around spun she
Two, three, hey, three times around [D] spun our [A] gulling ship, [D] and she sank [E] to the bottom [A] of the sea
