Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
F#m
From the crow's nest high

I can spy the little islands
E                         F#m
Strewn like stones in the salty sea
F#m
Pour the rum-pum-pum

Hearts are beating like the drum
E                  F#m
The madness taking me (Hoo!)

Chorus:
D               A
One day, should port be made
     E                 F#m
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D               A
This day, we shant delay
     E                 F#m
On our way, our dear Calypso


Verse 2:
F#m
From the starboard bow

I can spy a city ruined
E                F#m
Taken siege by a pirate's lance
F#m
Plundered gold

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


Chorus:
D               A
One day, should port be made
     E                 F#m
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D               A
This day, we shant delay
     E                 F#m
On our way, our dear Calypso


Verse 3:
F#m
From the decks below

I can spy out through the porthole
E                 F#m
Kingly ships of a naval fleet
F#m
While we schemed our raid

Our plan had been belayed
E                      F#m
For they'd made their retreat (Dang it!)


Chorus:
D               A
One day, should port be made
     E                 F#m
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D               A
This day, we shant delay
     E                 F#m
On our way, our dear Calypso

Verse 4:
F#m
From the port side shroud

I can spy under the moonlight
E                   F#m
Dreams of fortune awaiting me
F#m
Gold and rum

All there is under the sun
E                   F#m
But fate would disagree (Hey!)


Chorus:
D               A
Someday, if port be made
     E                 F#m
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D               A
This day, we shant delay
     E                 F#m
On our way, our dear Calypso


Bridge:
F#m
At the Captain's wheel

He can spy out the horizon
E                   F#m
"Hands on deck! Tally-Ho!" he cries
F#m                                     E                F#m
"Silver! Gold! Plenty coffers to behold before your very eyes!" (Oh!)


Chorus:
D               A
One day, should port be made
     E                 F#m
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D               A
This day, we shant delay
     E                 F#m
On our way, our dear Calypso
