Lyrics and chords are correct.
A A6
To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
Amaj7 A Bm/A
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
A A6
To work in the service of life and living
Amaj7 A Bm/A
In search of the answers to the questions unknown
A A6
To be part of the movement and part of the growing
Amaj7 A Em7/A (open for two bars)
Part of beginning to understand
CHORUS
D A
Aye Calypso the places you've been to
D A
The things that you've shown us

The stories you tell

Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit

The men who have served you so long and so well

Like the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you
Amaj7 A Bm/A
To light up the darkness and show us the way
A A6
For though we are strangers in your silent world
Amaj7 A Bm/A
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
A A6
To be true as the tide and free as a wind swell
Amaj7 A Em7/A (open for two bars)
Joyful and loving in letting it be
