[INTRO]
[Em] [D] x8

[VERSE]
[Em]Oh brother, been s[D]ixty three days
The [Am]water's been choppy, the w[Em]haler she sways
[Em]Can't keep no food down, c[D]an't find no sleep
Cuz the n[B]ight is too dark and the water's too deep

Twas s[C]ummer I boarded this [D]old wooden ship
[Am]Sun she was shinin' on Cull[Em]ero's dock slip
But n[G]ow it's all storms way o[D]ut on the cold seas,
An' [B]if I don't drown, then surely I'll freeze

[CHORUS]
[C]Wind blow us over this i[G]nky black wave
[B]Brother protect me from a watery g[Em]rave [D]
A watery g[Em]rave [D]
A watery g[Em]rave [D]
A watery g[Em]rave [D]

[VERSE]
Now the [Em]rats on the deck, n[D]ippin' my feet
And the h[Am]oles in my rags, s[Em]tealin' my heat
These b[Em]owls of brown soup, with b[D]arely no meat
Make me d[B]ream nightly of my sunny old street

But a [C]poor fool like me's gotta e[D]arn a straight wage
So I w[Am]alked myself on to this s[Em]eafarin' cage
Where the c[G]aptain's a bully and the c[D]rew's full of thieves
An' the li[B]quor's so bad I get the dry heaves.

[CHORUS]
[C]Wind blow us over this [G]inky black wave
[B]Brother protect from a watery g[Em]rave [D]
A watery g[Em]rave [D]

[BRIDGE]
[G]Eight weeks, they said [B]eight
But it's t[Em]en weeks we still wait
Not [G]one lonely rock in [B]sight
So [B]it's another perilous night

Now [C]come young sailor, l[D]earn from my trials
If y'[Am]dream of sailin' the E[Em]mpire of the Isles
It's a t[G]ale of hard times, with d[D]eath ev'ry day
So [B]don't believe one word that captain might say

[CHORUS]
[C]Wind blow us over this i[G]nky black wave
[B]Brother protect me from a watery g[Em]rave [D]
A watery gr[Em]ave [D]
A watery gr[Em]ave [D]
A watery gr[Em]ave [D]

[Em] [D] x4
