B E B G#m F# B
[Verse]
E B G#m F# E
I was born a land-bound farm boy and in New England raised
B G#m F#
The rippling of the wheat fields, well they were my ocean waves
B E B G#m F# E
Each rise and fall, each cry and call, of the crows across the corn
B F# B
Were seagulls swooping around the bow
E G#m F# B
Of the ship I dreamed I’d sail around Cape Horn
[Instrumental]
B E B G#m F# B
[Verse]
E B G#m F# E
My deck was the dusty farmyard, my mast was the telegraph pole
B G#m F#
The windblown whine in the telegraph wire, was the sound called in my soul
B E B G#m F# E
And it seemed to have been singing since the day that I was born
B F# B
You're gonna take a trip on a sailing ship
E G#m F# B
All the way around the wild Cape Horn
[Instrumental]
B E B G#m F# B
[Verse]
E B G#m F# E
Well, I found that ship in Hamburg and her name it was Peking
B G#m F#
Our skipper’s name was Jervis, well I never met a man like him
B E B G#m F# E
He pulled two men out from the sea, by the hair, in a raging storm
B F# B
And he kept that grip on the sailing ship
E G#m F# B
All the way around the wild Cape Horn
[Verse]
E B G#m F# E
Well, the cargo weighed five thousand tons, the ship three thousand more
B G#m F#
An acre of sail was up aloft, some seventeen storeys tall
B E B G#m F# E
And we had a pig and a scruffy dog and a turkey fed on corn
B F# B
Willing hands to drive her on
E G#m F# B
All the way around the wild Cape Horn
[Verse]
F#
Well, its four hours on and its four hours off
C#m E
And you sleep in your wet clothes
B E G#m F#
The only dry thing on the ship is the cargo down below
B E B G#m F# E
Eleven thousand miles we sailed, nigh on one hundred dawns
B F# B
Thirty two sails on a heaving ship
E G#m F# B
Hauling us around the wild Cape Horn
[Instrumental]
B E B G#m F# B x2
[Verse]
E B G#m F# E
Seventeen days we were becalmed, then Friday the thirteenth
B G#m F#
Sixty-eight great ships were lost in the storm of the century
B E B G#m F# E
We blew into the Atlantic on a sunlit sparkling morn
B F# B
The turkey got sick, so we ate him quick
E G#m F# B
On the way around the wild Cape Horn
[Verse]
E B G#m F# E
We lost two boys along the voyage, they got washed overboard
B G#m F#
Silence from us down below, no one could put in words
B E B G#m F# E
Two empty bunks to mark the space, their two lives to mourn
B F# B
Torn between all life and death
E G#m F# B
All the way around the wild Cape Horn
[Verse]
F#
Well, she had us sort of hypnotised
C#m E
No time to catch our breath
B E G#m F#
If you want to love your life, you have to flirt with death
B E B G#m F# E
Sail close to the harnessed wind and treat all risks with scorn
B F# B
B farm boy and an unyoked team
E G#m F# B
Ploughed their way around the wild Cape Horn
[Instrumental]
B E B G#m F# B x2
[Verse]
E B G#m F# E
Mountain waves like avalanches, crashed upon the decks
B G#m F#
The screaming winds ripped ropes and spars and tried to have us wrecked
B E B G#m F# E
But she rose and fell through foam and swell, her sails all ripped and torn
B F# B
Eight thousand tons, tossed like a cork
G#m F# B
We made it 'round the wild Cape Horn
[Verse]
F#
Well, she had us sort of hypnotised
C#m E
No time to catch our breath
B E G#m F#
If you want to love your life, well you have to flirt with death
B E B G#m F# E
Sail close to the harnessed wind and treat all risks with scorn
B F# B
B farm boy and an unyoked team
E G#m F# B
Ploughed their way around the wild Cape Horn
B F# B
B farm boy and an unyoked team
E G#m F# B
Ploughed their way around the wild Cape Horn
