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