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