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 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
