Dm                                                               A
We are two Mariners our ship's sole survivors in this belly of a whale
A
It's ribs our ceiling beams it's guts our carpeting I guess we have some time
Dm
to kill 
                                                                A
You may not remember me I was a child of three and you a lad of eighteen 
                                                              Dm
But I remember you and I will relate to you how our histories interweave.
Bb                                Dm        
At the time you were a rake and a rastabout 
Bb                                        A      Bb A
Spending all your money on the whores and hounds Oh-oh
Dm
You had a charming air all cheap and debonair my widowed mother found so
A
sweet 

And so she took you in her sheets still warm with him now filled
Dm
with filth and foul disease
Bb                                               Dm   
As time wore on you proved a debt-ridden drunken mess
Bb                                   A      Bb A
Leaving my mother a poor consumptive wretch Oh-oh
Dm
And then you disappeared Your gambling arrears the only thing you left
A
behind 

And then the magistrate reclaimed our small estate and my poor
Dm
mother lost her mind
Bb                                          Dm   
Then one day in spring my dear sweet mother died 
Bb                                              A     Bb A
But before she did I took her hand as she dying cried Oh-oh
Bb                                                Dm
Find him bind him tie him to a pole and break his fingers to splinters
Bb
drag him to a hole until he wakes up naked clawing at the ceiling of his
A      Bb A
grave, oh-oh." 
Dm
It took me fifteen years to swallow all my tears among the urchins in the
A
street 

And then a priory took pity and hired me to keep their vestry nice
    Dm
and neat
Bb                                         Dm  Bb
But never once in the employ of these holy men did I ever once turn my mind
                    A       Bb A
from the thought of revenge Oh-oh
Dm
One night I overheard the prior exchanging words with a penetant whaler from
    A 
the sea

The captain of his ship who matched you toe to tip was known for a
Dm
wanton cruelty
Bb                                               Dm   Bb
The following day I shipped to sea with the privateer And in the whistle of
                        A    Bb A
the wind I could almost hear oh-oh
Bb                                                Dm
Find him bind him tie him to a pole and break his fingers to splinters
Bb
drag him to a hole until he wakes up naked clawing at the ceiling of his
A
grave.
F                              C          F                      C   
There is one thing that I must say to you as you sail across the sea 
Dm                            Am       Bb                        A
Always your mother will watch over you as you avenge this wicked deed


Dm-A-Bb-A


Dm                                                                         A
And then one fateful night we had you in our sights after twenty months at sea

Your starboard flank abeam I was getting my muskets clean when came this
              Dm
rumbling from beneath
Bb                                                 Dm      
The ocean shook the sky went black and the captain quailed 
Bb
And before us grew
                          A     Bb A
the angry jaws of a giant whale oh-oh oh oh-oh
Dm
Don't know how I survived the crew all was chewed alive I must have slipped
            A
between his teeth But oh what providence what divine intelligence that you
                          Dm
should survive as well as me
Bb                                                     Dm   
It gives my heart great joy to see your eyes fill with fear 
Bb
So lean in close
                                         A    Bb A
and I will whisper the last words you'll hear oh-oh
