Capo 3

[Verse 1]
           Am                           Am
There once was a ship that put to sea
         Dm                                 Am
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
       Am                         Am
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
         E                            Am
O b-low, my bully boys, blow

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Am                            Am
She'd not been two weeks from shore
          Dm                  Am
When down on her a right whale bore
           Am                  Am
The captain called all hands and swore
        E                           Am
He'd take that whale in tow, huh!

[Chorus]
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

[Interlude]
F               C
Da da da-da dat da
      Dm                     Am
Da-da dat da da-da da dat da
F               C
Da da da-da dat da
       E                   Am
Da-da dat da dat da

[Verse 3]
Am                            Am
Before the boat had hit the water
       Dm                       Am
The wha-le's tail came up and caught her
        Am                         Am
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
E                                 Am
When she dived down low

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 4]
      Am                    Am
No line was cut, no whale was freed
          Dm                       Am
The captain's mind was not of greed
        Am                         Am
And he belonged to the whaleman's creed
        E                        Am
She took that ship in tow

[Chorus]
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

[Interlude]
F               C
Da da da-da dat da
      Dm                 Am
Da-da dat da da-da da dat da
F               C
Da da da-da dat da
       E                   Am
Da-da dat da dat da
