drunken sailor Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]From Tortuga's port, we put to sea
And [F#]sailed for 16 days
In the [Am]biggest storm I'd ever seen
We almost lost our way
When a call came from a deckhand
Boys, I think she's [F#]going down
But [Am]don't you fear
There's enough rum here
To drink until we drown!

[Verse 2]
Ho!
[Am]What shall we do with
a drunken sailor?
[G]What shall we do with
a drunken [Em]sailor?
[Am]What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
[F#]Early in the [Am]morning
Hooray, and up she rises [F#](hooray)

[Verse 3]
Hooray, and up she rises [Am](hooray)
[C]Hooray, and up she [B]rises
[F#](hooray)
Early in the [Am]morning

[Verse 4]
So this deckhand grabbed a barrel [Am]Broke the
seal and took a swig
And soon their screams turned into songs
Their panicked work turned into jigs
The first mate bellowed orders
Ever trying to save their skins
"Any drunken retch
The captain catch
He'll [F#]beat all [Am]limb from limb!"

[Verse 5]
Ho!
[Am]What shall we do with
a drunken sailor?
[G]What shall we do with
a drunken [Em]sailor?
[Am]What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
[F#]Early in the morning
[Am]Hoo [G#m]ray an[Am]d up she rises (hooray[F#])

[Verse 6]
Hooray and up she rises (hooray)
[C]Hooray and up she rises
[F#](hooray)
Early in the morn[Am]ing

[Verse 7]
Every man continued [Am]drinking
All their duties long for[F#]got
[Am]They were deaf to every order
'Til they heard a pistol shot
The captain stood on folks
All swung the cat above his head
"Back to yer post
Or [F#]by my ghost
Ye'll [Am]wish that ye were dead!"

[Verse 8]
[Am]Oh!
What shall we do with
a drunken sailor?
What shall we [G]do with
a drunken [Am]sailor?
What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
[F#]Early in the [Am]morning

[Verse 9]
Hooray and up she rises [F#](hooray)
Hooray and up she rises [C](hooray)
Hooray and up she [B]rises
[F#](hooray)
Early in the morn[Am]ing

[Verse 10]
Every drunk received [Am]a beating
Some of the drunker managed [F#]two
[Am]The captain kept an eye
Until he'd [F#]sobered up his [G#]crew
[Am]He then retire[Em]d to q[Am]uarters
Put the rum upon his shelf
Sat in his seat
Put up his feet
And drank the rest himself!
Ho!

[Verse 11]
What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
[G]
What shall we do with
a drunken [Am]sailor?
What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
[F#]Early in the morning
[Am]Hooray

[Verse 12]
[Am]and up she
rises [F#](hooray)
Hooray and up she [G]rises [C](hooray)
Hooray and up she rises
[F#](hooray)
Early in the [Am]morning

[Verse 13]
Put him in the longboat 'til he's sober
[Am]Shave his belly with a rusty [G#]razor
Throw him in the hold
with the captain's daugh[F#]ter
Early in the [B]morn[F#] ing[G#]
