[Intro] Em D x8 [Verse]
EmOh brother, been sDixty three days The Amwater's been choppy, the wEmhaler she sways EmCan't keep no food down, cDan't find no sleep Cuz the nBight is too dark and the water's too deep
Twas sCummer I boarded this Dold wooden ship AmSun she was shinin' on CullEmero's dock slip But nGow it's all storms way oDut on the cold seas, An' Bif I don't drown, then surely I'll freeze
[Chorus]
CWind blow us over this iGnky black wave BBrother protect me from a watery gEmrave D A watery gEmrave D A watery gEmrave D A watery gEmrave D
[Verse]
Now the Emrats on the deck, nDippin' my feet And the hAmoles in my rags, sEmtealin' my heat These bEmowls of brown soup, with bDarely no meat Make me dBream nightly of my sunny old street
But a Cpoor fool like me's gotta eDarn a straight wage So I wAmalked myself on to this sEmeafarin' cage Where the cGaptain's a bully and the cDrew's full of thieves An' the liBquor's so bad I get the dry heaves.
[Chorus]
CWind blow us over this Ginky black wave BBrother protect from a watery gEmrave D A watery gEmrave D
[Bridge]
GEight weeks, they said Beight But it's tEmen weeks we still wait Not Gone lonely rock in Bsight So Bit's another perilous night
Now Ccome young sailor, lDearn from my trials If y'Amdream of sailin' the EEmmpire of the Isles It's a tGale of hard times, with dDeath ev'ry day So Bdon't believe one word that captain might say
[Chorus]
CWind blow us over this iGnky black wave BBrother protect me from a watery gEmrave D A watery grEmave D A watery grEmave D A watery grEmave D
[Outro] Em D x4
