Verse 1:
F# minorF#m
From the crow's nest high
I can spy the little islands
E MajorE F# minorF#m
Strewn like stones in the salty sea
F# minorF#m
Pour the rum-pum-pum
Hearts are beating like the drum
E MajorE F# minorF#m
The madness taking me (Hoo!)
Chorus:
D MajorD A augmentedA
One day, should port be made
E MajorE F# minorF#m
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D MajorD A augmentedA
This day, we shant delay
E MajorE F# minorF#m
On our way, our dear Calypso
Verse 2:
F# minorF#m
From the starboard bow
I can spy a city ruined

Taken siege by a pirate's lance

Plundered gold
That was taken long ago
E MajorE F# minorF#m
Afore we had our chance (Dah!)

On our way, our dear Calypso
Verse 3:
F# minorF#m
From the decks below
I can spy out through the porthole
E MajorE F# minorF#m
Kingly ships of a naval fleet

While we schemed our raid
Our plan had been belayed
E MajorE F# minorF#m
For they'd made their retreat (Dang it!)

From the port side shroud
I can spy under the moonlight

Dreams of fortune awaiting me

Gold and rum
All there is under the sun
E MajorE F# minorF#m
But fate would disagree (Hey!)

Someday, if port be made

On our way, our dear Calypso
Bridge:
F# minorF#m
At the Captain's wheel
He can spy out the horizon

"Silver! Gold! Plenty coffers to behold before your very eyes!" (Oh!)
