Am We are two mariners Am Our ship's sole survivors Am E In this belly of a whale E It's ribs are ceiling beams E It's guts are carpeting E Am I guess we have some time to kill Am You may not remember me Am I was a child of three Am E And you, a lad of eighteen E But, I remember you E And I will relate to you E Am How our histories interweave F At the time you were Am A rake and a roustabout F Spending all your money E On the whores and hounds F E (oh, oh) Am You had a charming air Am All cheap and debonair Am E My widowed mother found so sweet E And so she took you in E Her sheets still warm with him E Am Now filled with filth and foul disease F As time wore on you proved Am A debt-ridden drunken mess F Leaving my mother E A poor consumptive wretch F E (oh, oh) Am And then you disappeared Am Your gambling arrears Am E The only thing you left behind E And then the magistrate E Reclaimed our small estate E Am And my poor mother lost her mind F Then, one day in spring Am My dear sweet mother died F But, before she did E I took her hand as she, dying, cried F E (oh, oh) Am "Find him, bind him Tie him to a pole and break F His fingers to splinters Drag him to a hole until he Am Wakes up naked Clawing at the ceiling E ( F E ) Of his grave" Am It took me fifteen years Am To swallow all my tears Am E Among the urchins in the street E Until a priory E Took pity and hired me E Am To keep their vestry nice and neat F But, never once in the employ Am these holy men F Did I ever, once turn my mind E From the thought of revenge F E (oh, oh) Am One night I overheard Am The prior exchanging words Am E With a penitent whaler from the sea E The captain of his ship E Who matched you toe to tip E Am Was known for wanton cruelty F The following day I shipped to sea Am With a privateer F And in the whistle Of the wind E I could almost hear F E (oh, oh) Am "Find him, bind him Tie him to a pole and break F His fingers to splinters Drag him to a hole until he Am Wakes up naked Clawing at the ceiling E ( F E ) Of his grave C G There is one thing I must say to you C G As you sail across the sea Am Em Always, your mother will watch over you F E As you avenge this wicked deed" Am And then, that fateful night Am We had you in our sight Am E After twenty months at sea E Your starboard flank abeam E I was getting my muskets clean Am When came this rumbling from beneath F The ocean shook The sky went black Am And the captain quailed F And before us grew The angry jaws E Of a giant whale F7 E7 (oh.. oOoH) Am Don't know how I survived Am The crew all was chewed alive Am E I must have slipped between his teeth E But, oh, what providence E What divine intelligence E That you should survive Am As well as me F It gives my eye great joy Am To see your eyes fill with fear F To lean in close And I will whisper E The last words you'll hear F E (oh, oh) [Final] Am F Am E F E Am
