[Verse]
C G Em D C
I was born a land-bound farm boy and in New England raised
G Em D
The rippling of the wheat fields, well they were my ocean waves
G C G Em 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 Em D G
Of the ship I dreamed I’d sail around Cape Horn
[Instrumental]
G C G Em D G
[Verse]
C G Em D C
My deck was the dusty farmyard, my mast was the telegraph pole
G Em D
The windblown whine in the telegraph wire, was the sound called in my soul
G C G Em 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 Em D G
All the way around the wild Cape Horn
[Instrumental]
G C G Em D G
[Verse]
C G Em D C
Well, I found that ship in Hamburg and her name it was Peking
G Em D
Our skipper’s name was Jervis, well I never met a man like him
G C G Em 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 Em D G
All the way around the wild Cape Horn
[Verse]
C G Em D C
Well, the cargo weighed five thousand tons, the ship three thousand more
G Em D
An acre of sail was up aloft, some seventeen storeys tall
G C G Em 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 Em D G
All the way around the wild Cape Horn
[Verse]
D
Well, its four hours on and its four hours off
Am C
And you sleep in your wet clothes
G C Em D
The only dry thing on the ship is the cargo down below
G C G Em D C
Eleven thousand miles we sailed, nigh on one hundred dawns
G D G
Thirty two sails on a heaving ship
C Em D G
Hauling us around the wild Cape Horn
[Instrumental]
G C G Em D G x2
[Verse]
C G Em D C
Seventeen days we were becalmed, then Friday the thirteenth
G Em D
Sixty-eight great ships were lost in the storm of the century
G C G Em 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 Em D G
On the way around the wild Cape Horn
[Verse]
C G Em D C
We lost two boys along the voyage, they got washed overboard
G Em D
Silence from us down below, no one could put in words
G C G Em D C
Two empty bunks to mark the space, their two lives to mourn
G D G
Torn between all life and death
C Em D G
All the way around the wild Cape Horn
[Verse]
D
Well, she had us sort of hypnotised
Am C
No time to catch our breath
G C Em D
If you want to love your life, you have to flirt with death
G C G Em 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 Em D G
Ploughed their way around the wild Cape Horn
[Instrumental]
G C G Em D G x2
[Verse]
C G Em D C
Mountain waves like avalanches, crashed upon the decks
G Em D
The screaming winds ripped ropes and spars and tried to have us wrecked
G C G Em 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
Em D G
We made it 'round the wild Cape Horn
[Verse]
D
Well, she had us sort of hypnotised
Am C
No time to catch our breath
G C Em D
If you want to love your life, well you have to flirt with death
G C G Em 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 Em D G
Ploughed their way around the wild Cape Horn
G D G
G farm boy and an unyoked team
C Em D G
Ploughed their way around the wild Cape Horn
