There Am once was a ship that put to sea, and the Dm name of the ship was the Am Billy of Tea
The Am winds blew up, her bow dipped down, Oh E7 blow, me bully boys, Am blow huh

Am ... two, three, four

Am She'd not been two weeks from shore, when Dm down on her a Am right whale bore
The Am captain called all hands and swore, he'd E7 take that whale in Am tow huh

Am Before the boat had hit the water, the Dm whaaale's tail came Am up and caught her
Am All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her E7 when she dived down Am low huh

Am ... two, three, four

Am No line was cut, no whale was freed, the Dm captain's mind was Am not of greed
And Am he belonged to the Whaleman's creed, she E7 took that ship in Am tow huh

For Am forty days or even more, the Dm line went slack then Am tight once more
All Am boats were lost, there were only four, but E7 still that whale did Am go huh

Am ... two, three, four

As Am far as I've heard, the fight's still on, the Dm line's not cut, and the Am whale's not gone
The Am Wellerman makes his regular call, to en-Dmcourage the captain, Am crew and all

Chorus repeat and get faster each time

Verse 1
I D have fallen for another she can make her own way G home
And even if she asked me now I'd let her go a D lone
I useta see her up the chapel as she went to Sunday G mass
When she'd go up to receive I'd kneel down there and watch her D pass Stop
The glory of her A ass

Verse 2
Do you re-Dmember her collecting for concern on Christmas G eve
She was on a 48 hour fast just water and black D tea
I walked right up and made an ostentatious contri-Gbution
And I winked at her to tell her I'd seduce her in the D future Stop
When she's feelin A looser

Chorus

Verse 3
So D now you know the truth of it she's no longer my ob-Gsession
And the thoughts and dreams I had of her would take 6 months in D confession
See I met this young one Thursday night and she's into free ex-Gpression
And her mission is to rid the world of this sinful re-Dpression Stop
And then we had a A session

Outro - slower
I have D fallen for her mother she can make her own way G home
