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