[Intro 1]
[D][A]

[Verse 1]
I'll [D]tell you the tale of the [G]Nancy [Em]Lee
The [A]ship that caught ship[D]wrecked at sea
[A]The[D] bravest man was Cap[G]tain Bro[Em]wn
For he [A]played his ukulele
as the [D]ship went down
[Bm]All the crew were [G]in despair
[F#m]Some r[F#]ushed[Bm] here
and [E]others rushed there
[A]But the cap[D]tain sat in the cap[G]tain's cha[Em]ir
And he [A]played his ukulele
[D]as the ship went [A]down[D][Bm][E][A]
The [D]boatswain said to [G]Stoker Jim
[Em]You'[A]ll have to teach me how [D]to s[A]wim
The [D]stoker answered [G]with a [Em]frown
[A]We can learn together
as the [D]ship goes down
The [Bm]captain said to [G]Fireman [F#m]Moe
[Bm]Get straight into your f[E]ireman's c[A]lothes
And [D]while you stand and [G]play your [Em]hose
I [A]shall play me [F#m]ukulele
[D]as the ship goes [A]down[Bm][D][A][Bm][D][Em]
[A][D][Bm][Em][A][Bm]
[F#m][Bm][E][Bm][A][D]
[E]The [Em]capt[A]ain'[D]s[Bm][E]
wife was [A]on [F#m]the ship
And [Bm]he was glad sh[B]e'd ma[E]de the trip,
[B]As she[E] could swim, she mig[A]ht not dro[F#m]wn,
So he [Bm]tied her to the anchor
as the [E]ship went down.
The [C#m]cook's gone mad
and the [A]bow -string's [G#]lame,
The [C#m]rudder has gone and
the [F#m]deck's aflame,
[Bm]And my G -st[E]ring's flat, but all t[A]he s[F#m]ame,
I shall play me [Bm]ukulele
as the [E]ship [F#m]goes d[E]own.[F#m][B][E]
[C#m]And that is the tale of the Na[A]ncy Le[G#]e,
[C#m]The ship that got shipwr[F#m]ecked at sea,
[B]Captai[E]n Brown, who in [A]command,
[F#m]now plays [Bm]his ukulele
in the [E]Mermaid [C#m]Band.[A]
[C#m][F#m][B][E][Bm][E][B]
[Bm]An d[F#m] he played his ukulele
[E]as the ship went [A]down.[E][A][E]

[Outro 1]
I'm doing good. I'm doing good.
