They sailed from port one morning when the weather it was fair
   Am               /              G             Am
A gentle breeze it pushed them and no one gave a care
     Am                  /                      G           Am
They sang and danced and laughed that night and opened up a keg

The Captain said "a piece of gold for he who sees my whale"
   Am                  /              G                 Am
So bend your backs and row me boys I know that we won't fail

(Chorus)
Am                   /              G              Am
Bend your backs and row me lads and take me to me whale.

They saw the whale one morning when the weather it was fair
    Am                 /           G              Am
The men were white as ghosts, the Captain didn't care
     Am              /                  G               Am
I'll take this whale myself he said the weak can stay behind
    Am                   /           G                     Am
The strong can share my glory and tonight they'll share my(wine)

The whale it came up closer it was bigger than the sky
?    Am               /                 G                 Am
They lowered down the longboat and they heard the captain cry

Chorus
   Am                   /              G              Am
Oh Bend your backs and row me lads and take me to me whale.

The whale it came so close that it almost tipped the boat
     Am                 /            G                  Am
The captain raised his spear and he rammed it down it's throat
    Am              Am7              D                 E
The whale it gave a mournful cry and lifted it's great tail 
    Am                 /                 G              Am
And brought it down a smashing their wee boat was sat a gale

  Am             /                G               Am
A 100 years have passed since the Captain and his men
Am             /                  G              Am
Went below to spend their days in Davy Joneses' den
    Am               Am7           D              E
The whale it goes on living but inside it wears a scar
    Am           /                 G                Am
And if your ever near that place a voice calls from afar
?
Chorus
