Di Di Di Di Di Da Di Di [Verse]
Am Am G Am
We sailed from Port one morning when the weather it was fair
Am Am G Am
A gentle breeze it pushed them and no one gave a care
Am Am G Am
They sang and danced and laughed that night and opened up a keg
Am Am G Am
They're out to catch the monster Whale that took the captain's (leg)
Am G Am Am
(Di) Di Di Di Di Da Di Di
Am Am G Am
The Captain said "a piece of gold for he who sees me Whale"
Am Am G Am
So bend your backs and row me lads I know that we won't fail.[Chorus]
Am Am7 G Am
Bend your backs and row me lads and take me to me Whale.
Am Am G Am
Tonight we'll sing and dance and tomorrow night we'll sail.
Am Am7 D E
We'll sail into the harbour no prouder men there'll be;
Am Am G Am
We'll show them all we've captured the monster from the sea
Am G Am Am
(Di) Di Di Di Di Da Di Di. [Verse] (Quiet)
Am Am G Am
They saw the Whale one morning when the weather it was fair
Am Am G Am
The men were white as ghosts, the Captain didn't care

I'll take this Whale meself he cried the weak can stay behind
Am Am7 G Am
The strong can share my glory and tonight they'll share my wine

Am Am G Am
The Whale it came so close that it almost tipped the boat
Am 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 taaaaailll
Am Am G Am
And bought it down a smashing their wee boat just like a gale (Spoken)
Am G Am
A 100 years have passed since the Captain and his men
Am G Am
Went down to spend their days in Davey Joneses' den
Am Am7 D E
The Whale it goes on living but inside it wears a scaaaar
Am Am G Am
And if your ever near that place a voice calls,,, from afar
[Chorus]
Am Am7 G Am
Oh bend your backs and row me lads and take me to me Whale.

Tonight we'll sing and dance and tomorrow night we'll sail
Am Am7 D E
We'll sail into the harbour no prouder men there'll be...
Am Am G Am
We'll show them all we've captured the monster from the sea
Am Am G Am
Show them all we've captured the monster from the sea
Am Am G Am
Show them all we've captured the monster from the sea
