Wellerman Guitar Chords
Capo On 3rd Fret
Am
There once was a ship
Am
that put to sea
Dm
And the name of
Am
that ship was the Billy o′ Tea
Am
The winds blew hard,
Am
her bow dipped down
E Am
Blow, me bully boys, blow (huh)
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
E Am
We′ll take our leave and go
Am
She had not been
Am
two weeks from shore
Dm
When down on her,
Am
a right whale bore
Am
The captain called
Am
all hands and swore
E Am
He’d take that whale in tow (huh)
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
E Am
We′ll take our leave and go
Am
Before the boat had hit the water
Dm
The whale′s tail
Am
came up and caught her
Am
All hands to the side,
Am
harpooned and fought her
E Am
When she dived down below (huh)
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
E Am
We′ll take our leave and go
Am
No line was cut,
Am
no whale was freed
Dm
The captain’s mind
Am
was not on greed
Am
But he belonged to
Am
the whaleman′s creed
E Am
She took the ship in tow (huh)
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
E Am
We′ll take our leave and go
Am
For 40 days, or even more
Dm
The line went slack,
Am
then tight once more
Am
All boats were lost,
Am
there were only four
E Am
But still that whale did go
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
E Am
We′ll take our leave and go
Am
As far as I′ve heard,
Am
the fight′s still on
Dm
The line’s not cut
Am
and the whale′s not gone
Am
The Wellerman makes
Am
his regular call
Dm
To encourage the captain,
Am
crew, and all
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
E Am
We′ll take our leave and go
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
E Am
We′ll take our leave and go
