VERSE 1

        A5         A5
 With a lady-like devotion
     A5                A5
 She sails the bitter ocean
       D5                   D5
 If it wasn't for lovesick sailors
            D5                A5
 There'd be nothin' left but flotsam

CHORUS
         E5         D5
 Singin' why me oh my
            A5               D5
 Is there a better man than I
            A5                  E5
 I hope you find your way back home
            A5            D5  
 Before you lie high and dry
            A5                  E5
 I hope you find your way back home
            A5      E5
 Before you die
 
VERSE 2

     A5               A5
 Her sails blow like bubbles
          A5             A5
 While ya sip yer daily doubles
        D5                     D5
 If she wasn't so fond of the weather
           D5                  A5
 She might give the deckhands trouble

CHORUS

         E5         D5
 Singin' why me oh my
            A5               D5
 Is there a better man than I
            A5                  E5
 I hope you find your way back home
            A5            D5  
 Before you lie high and dry
            A5                  E5
 I hope you find your way back home
            A5      E5
 Before you die

VERSE 3
     A5               A5
 One day when I grew older
       A5                 A5
 And I found I could not hold her
     D5                    D5
 She took on a fine young skipper
          D5               A5
 Who soon run her up on a boulder

CHORUS

         E5         D5
 Singin' why me oh my
            A5               D5
 Is there a better man than I
            A5                  E5
 I hope you find your way back home
            A5            D5  
 Before you lie high and dry
            A5                  E5
 I hope you find your way back home
            A5      E5
 Before you die

VERSE 4
         A5                A5
 Now the pleasures of the harbor
       A5              A5
 Don't include a lady barber
       D5                    D5
 If it wasn't for Long John Silver
           D5                     A5
 All of us pirates would've been martyrs

CHORUS and END (repeat last 4 lines one time)

         E5         D5
 Singin' why me oh my
            A5               D5
 Is there a better man than I
            A5                  E5
 I hope you find your way back home
            A5            D5  
 Before you lie high and dry
            A5                  E5
 I hope you find your way back home
            A5      E5
 Before you die
            A5                  E5
 I hope you find your way back home
            A            D  (hold D for 4 beats)
 Before you lie high and dry
            A5                  E5
 I hope you find your way back home
            A   E   A (these at 1 beat each)
 Before you die
