[Bbm] Filling [Eb] the [Ab] Caribbean Sea
And old Captain [Db] named Eric Williams
[Bbm] Oh yes, it's [Eb] moon and tree
Must [Ab] have seen Eric Williams pass away
The ship hit rough [Db] water that day

[Fm] There were few [Eb] in her class
[Ab] Faithfully she fulfilled her sailor's need
Some were [Db] overpowered by greed
[Ab] And so they built her slow
