(Start with an Am intro, the strum is easy)
LAm MI
We are two Mariners, our ship's sole survivors, in this belly of a whale
MIIt's ribs our ceiling beams, it's guts our carpeting, I guess we have some time
to kill. You may not remember me, I was a child of three, and you a lad of
MIeighteen. But I remember you, and I will relate to you, how our histories
LAminterweave.
At the time you were a rake and a rastabout. Spending all your money on the
MI FAm MIwhores and hounds. Oh-oh
LAmYou had a charming air, all cheap and debonair, my widowed mother found so
sweet. And so she took you in, her sheets still warm with him, now filled
LAmwith filth and fowl disease.
FAm LAm FAmAs time wore on you proved a debt-ridden drunken mess. Leaving my mother a
poor consumptive wretch. Oh-oh
LAmAnd then you disappeared. Your gambling arrears, the only thing you left
MIbehind. And then the magistrate, reclaimed our small estate, and my poor
mother lost her mind.
FAm LAm FAmThen one day in spring my dear, sweet mother died. But before she did I took
MI FAm MIher hand as she dying cried, Oh-oh,
"Find him, bind him, tie him to a pole and break his fingers to splinters,
FAmdrag him to a hole until he wakes up, naked, clawing at the ceiling of his
MI FAm MIgrave, oh-oh." (Little Am fill right here)
It took me fifteen years to swallow all my tears, among the urchins in the
MIstreet. And then a priory, took pity and hired me to keep their vestry nice
LAmand neat.
Fm (c-ish) Am(c-ish) Fm(c-ish)
But never once in the employ of these holy men, did I ever once turn my mind
E(c-ish) Fm E
from the thought of revenge. Oh-oh.
Am(harsh double strum for this part)
One night I overheard, the prior exchanging words with a penetant whaler from
E(smooth) E(harsh double strum)
the sea. The captain of his ship, who matched you toe to tip, was known for a
Am(smooth)
wanton cruelty.
FAm LAmThe following day I shipped to sea with the privateer. And in the whistle of
the wind I could almost hear, oh-oh.
FAm LAm"Find him, bind him, tie him to a pole and break his fingers to splinters,
FAmdrag him to a whole until he wakes up, naked, clawing at the ceiling of his
grave.
DO SOL DO SOL LAmThere is one thing I must say to you, as you sail across the sea. Always your
MIm FAm MImother will watch over you, as you avenge this wicked deed.
Middle section: Am-E-Fm-E
And then one fateful night, we had you in our sights, after 20 months at sea.
Your starboard flank abeam, I was getting my muskets clean, when came this
LAmrumbling from beneath.
Fm(c-ish) Am(c-ish) Fm(c-ish)
The ocean shook, the sky went black and the captain quailed. And before us
E (candenza) Fm E
grew the angry jaws of a giant whale, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
LAmDon't know how I survived, the crew all was chewed alive, I must have slipped
between his teeth. But oh what providence, what divine intelligence, that you
LAmshould survive as well as me.
FAm LAm FAmIt gives my heart great joy to see your eyes fill with fear. So lean in close
and I will whisper the last words you'll hear, oh-oh
