[Verse 1]
[D]When the [G]whale get [D]strike
and the line runs [G]out
And the [C]whale makes a
flun[D]der with its tail
And the [G]boat cap[Em]sized and
I [Am]lost my darlin' man
[G]No more, no more [C]Green[Am]land [G]for you,
[D]brave boys
[G]No [Am]more, no [G]more [C]Green
[G]lan[D]d for you
[G]

[Verse 2]
Twas in eighteen [D]hundred and [G]fifty three,
on June the [C]thirteenth [D]day
That our [G]gallant [Am]ship her [C]anchor [D]weighed
And for [G]Greenland [C]sailed away,
[D]brave boys,
And for [G]Greenland [C]sailed [D]away.[G]

[Verse 3]
[G]The lookout [D]on [G]the crosstree stood
With a spyglass [C]in his [D]hand
There's [G]a whale, there's a [Am]whale,
[D]there's [C]a w[D]halefish, he cried
And she [G]blows at [C]every [D]span, brave boys
She [G]blows at [C]every [D]span!

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G][C]
[D][G][Am][C][A][D][G][C][D][G][C]
[D]Well we struck

[Verse 4]
[G]that wha[D]le
and the [G]line played out
But she gave [C]a flunder with her t[D]ail
And the [G]boat cap[Am]sized and
[C]four [D]men were drowned
And we [G]never [C]caught that [D]whale,
We [G]never [C]caught [D]that [G]whale.

[Verse 5]
Oh, to [G]lose that [D]whale, [G]my captain cried,
It grieves my [C]heart full [D]sore
But to [G]lose four [Am]of my g[C]allant m[D]en
It [G]grieves me [C]ten times [D]more, brave boys,
It [G]grieves me [C]ten [D]times [G]more!

[Verse 6]
Oh, [G]Greenland [D]is a [G]dreadful place
It's a land that's [C]never [D]green
Where there's [G]ice and [Am]snow
and [C]the [D]whalefishes blow
And [G]daylight's [C]seldom [D]seen, brave boys
And [G]daylight's [C]sel[D]dom [G]seen

[Verse 7]
When the [G]whale gets [D]strike,
and the line runs [G]out
And the [C]whale makes a flunder with its [D]tail
And the [G]boat [Em]capsized
and [Am]I lost my [C]darlin' man
[G]No more, no [G]more [C]Green[Am]land for you,
brave [D]boys.
No [G]more, no more [C]Greenland [D]for you.
