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