[VERSE 1]
[D]When my grandpa was a boy, [C]he went down to the general store
[D]Saw a picture book of a whale sh[C]ooting its spout and f[D]lashin' its tail
[D]Then he got a sailor's dream 'bout cr[C]uisin' around on the salty sea
[D]Joinin' up with a fishin' crew to [C]go out and get him a w[D]hale or two
[D]Tell me what kind of men are these who s[C]ail upon the salty seas
[D]Up in the rigging in the afternoon, [C]swabbin' the decks and s[D]harpenin' harpoons

[CHORUS]
[D]Hooray and up she rises,[C] hooray and up she rises
[D]Hooray and up she rises, [C]early in the m[D]orning

[VERSE 2]
There're [D]lots of whales in the deep blue sea, we [C]kill them for the industry
We [D]drag 'em 'longside and cut'em in two and [C]melt 'em down and [D]sell 'em to you
There [D]hardly is a sailor alive who can k[C]eep the tears from his eyes
As [D]he remembers the good old days w[C]hen there were no wh[D]ales to save
[D]Now you thank the companies for sc[C]ouring the deep blue seas
[D]Looking for ivory and perfume and [C]Oil to light your [D]living room

[CHORUS]
[D]Hooray and up she rises,[C] hooray and up she rises
[D]Hooray and up she rises, [C]early in the m[D]orning

[VERSE 3]
[D]Shanghaied by the light of the moon, [C]put out from Boston in the middle of June
[D]After six months out at sea, it's [C]nothin' but death and [D]misery
[D]Set out on a three-year cruise, a [C]union ship and a union crew
And [D]after six months you begin to see, that [C]whalin's not what it [D]used to be
A [D]modern ship and a modern crew with s[C]onar scopes and explodin' harpoons
A mech[D]anical boat made outta steel, a fl[C]oating machine built to [D]kill the whales

[CHORUS]
[D]Hooray and up she rises,[C] hooray and up she rises
[D]Hooray and up she rises, [C]early in the m[D]orning

[D]Hooray and up she rises, [C]early in the m[D]orning
