[G]
William Taylor was a Christian sailor Who lived far to the cool of May
In this land he didn't [Em] come, but to [D] a young [G] old lady gay
Loaded 20 critters, sailed her mathemond, Sideway as he went, to [Em] bid Mary [D] Pretty [Em] well
He was a sailor of the way, he was a sailor [Bm] of the way
[Em] Sailor [D] of the way, [Em]
sailor [Bm] [C] of [Em] the way
[D] [Em] Sailor [D] [Em]
[D] [C] [D]

of the way, sailor of the way
He went on board the Pummeloar,
Wriggling his [C] fingers [D] long and neat,
[Em] And the day was [G] fair with pitch and heart.
On the ship, Rarabossa bustled,
See a monster as he fight,
With blue offers of [D] herb,
And [Em] the brass of grass,
Rewind!

There you spy young William Taylor,
Walking [D] with his [Em] lady gay.
