Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]It was Friday morn, when [G]we set [D]sail
And we [G]were not [A]far from the [D]land
When our captain he spied
[G]a mermaid so [D]fair
With [G]a comb and [A]a glass in her [D]hand

[Verse 2]
CHORUS And [D]the
ocean waves [A]do [D]roll,
And the stormey wind do [A]blow
[D]We poor sailors [G]go skippin' at [D]the top
While [G]the landlubber [A]lie down
Be[D]low, below, below
And [G]the landlubbers [A]lie down [D]be low

[Verse 3]
[D]Up spoke the captain [G]of our gallant ship
[D]And [G]a fine brave [A]man was [D]he
He said, ""That fishy mermaid has
[G]warned me of our fate""
""we shall sleep at the [A]bottom of [D]the sea!""

[Verse 4]
[D]Up spoke the first mate of [G]our gallant [D]ship
And [G]a brave spoken [A]man was [D]he
He said, ""I have a wife
in [G]Brooklyn by [D]the sea
And to[G]night a wid[A]ow she will [D]be!""

[Verse 5]
[D]Up spoke the cabin boy
[G]of our gallant [D]ship
And [G]a fine young l[A]ad was h[D]e

And to[G]night a [A]weepin' [D]she wil[A]l be![D]""

[Verse 6]
Then [D]up spoke the cook of [G]our gallant ship
And a crazy old butcher [A]was [D]he
He said, ""I care more for
my [G]pots and [D]my pans
Than [G]I cares for the bot[A]tom
of [D]the sea!"" CHORUS

[Verse 7]
Then up spoke [D]the parrot of our gallant ship
And [A]a carzy old buzzard was h[D]e
He said, ""I cares [G]more for my
crakers and my seeds
[D]Than [G]I c[A]ares for[D] th[G]e bottom
[A]of [D]the sea!"" CHORUS

[Verse 8]
[D]Then three times 'round
spun [G]our gallant [D]ship
[G]Three times [A]'round spun [D]she
Three times 'round [G]spun our gallant [D]ship
And [G]she sank to the [A]bottom of [D]the sea[A]
