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