Nathan Evans - Wellerman Chords
Cm
There once was a ship that put to sea
Fm Cm
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
Cm
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Cm
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
Ab Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
Fm Cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab Eb
One day, when the tonguing is done
G Cm
We'll take our leave and go
Cm
She'd not been two weeks from shore
Fm Cm
When down on her a right whale bore
Cm
The captain called all hands and swore
Cm
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)
Ab Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
Fm Cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab Eb
One day, when the tonguing is done
G Cm
We'll take our leave and go
Ab Eb
Da-da-da-da-da
Fm Cm
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ab Eb G Cm
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Cm
Before the boat had hit the water
Fm Cm
The whale's tail came up and caught her
Cm
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
Cm
When she dived down low (huh)
Ab Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
Fm Cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab Eb
One day, when the tonguing is done
G Cm
We'll take our leave and go
Cm
No line was cut, no whale was freed
Fm Cm
The captain's mind was not of greed
Cm
And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
Cm
She took that ship in tow (huh)
Ab Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
Fm cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab Eb
One day, when the tonguing is done
G Cm
We'll take our leave and go
Ab Eb
Da-da-da-da-da
Fm Cm
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ab Eb G Cm
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Cm
For forty days or even more
Fm Cm
The line went slack then tight once more
Cm
All boats were lost, there were only four
Cm
But still that whale did go (huh)
Ab Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
Fm cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab Eb
One day, when the tonguing is done
G Cm
We'll take our leave and go
Cm
As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
Fm Cm
The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
Cm
The Wellerman makes his regular call
Cm
To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)
Ab Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
Fm cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab Eb
One day, when the tonguing is done
G Cm
We'll take our leave and go
Ab Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
Fm cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab Eb
One day, when the tonguing is done
G cm
We'll take our leave and go
