Verse 1:
G
This water is too salty
    G
For me to even drink.
    G
I'd rather walk the dreaded plank
     G
Than stay another week.
         C              D
But it's you, my love:
                  G
You're my "land ahoy!"


Verse 2:
        G
And I'm sick of being beaten
    G
And whipped and lashed to death.
  G
I want one night with no gang rape,
    G
But I won't hold my breath.
         C              D
But it's you, my love:
                  G
You're my "land ahoy!"
              D7sus4    D7
And you're my boy.

CHORUS:
G
Yo ho, Sebastian!
G        Bm   Em
Let's go far away,
Bm                  D                G
Somewhere where the captain won't be mad.
G
Yo ho, Sebastian!
  G     Bm       Em
I wanna love you good.
    Bm              D                 G
And we deserve much better than we've had.

VERSE 2:
     G
They say they're gonna kill me
     G
If I look at you once more.
     G
They spinned my hammock yesterday,
   G
So I'll sleep on the floor.
          C           D
I'd be under the sea
                  G
But you hold me above

         G                        C/G
And they put glass in my sandals
      G                         C/G
So my feet would bleed all day
    G                          C/G
And they forced me to wear them
        G           D        G
Or they said they'd make you pay
       C              D
I'd be under the sea
                  G
But you hold me above.
                 D7sus4   D7
You're the man I love!

CHORUS:
G
Yo ho, Sebastian!
G        Bm   Em
Let's go far away.
Bm                  D                G
Somewhere where the captain won't be mad.
G
Yo ho, Sebastian!
   G     Bm       Em
I wanna love you good
    Bm              D                 G
And we deserve much better than we've had

VERSE 3:
    G
The captain found about us
    G
And ordered them to throw
G
Us both overboard tonight
   G
Together we will go
        C                D
But I'm yours, you know
                            G    D   G
And I'll love you still in hell

      G
And I hope they didn't tie up
      G
Your hands as tight as mine
      G
I'll see you on the bed of
          G
This blue ocean, babe sometime
        C                D/F3
But I'm yours, you know
                            G
And I'll love you still in hell,
             D7sus4 D
And down we fell,    and I'm singin'

CHORUS:

Yo ho, Sebastian!
G        Bm   Em
Let's go far away
Bm                  D                G
Somewhere where the captain won't be mad

Yo ho, Sebastian!
  G     Bm       Em
I wanna love you good
    Bm              D                 G
And we deserve much better than we've had

G (hit once)
Yo ho, Sebastian!
G (hit)  Bm (hit) Em (hit twice)
Let's go far away
Bm                   D                G
Somewhere where the captain won't be mad
G
Yo ho, Sebastian!
  G     Bm       Em
I wanna love you good
    Bm              D                 G
And we deserve much better than we've had
Bm              D                 C
We deserve much better than we've had
