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