[VERSE 1]
N.C Am C D Am C D
Oh if I had the wings of a gull, me boys. I would spread them and fly home.
Am C D Am C D
I'd leave old Greenland's icy grounds for of right whales there are none.

[VERSE 2]
Am C D Am C D
And the weather is rough and the winds they do blow, there's little comfort here.
Am C D Am C D
And I'd sooner be snug in a Bedtford pub, A-drinkin' of strong beer.

[VERSE 3]
Am C D Am C D
Oh, a man must be mad or want money bad to venture hunting the whale.
Am C D Am C D
For he may be drowned when the big fish turns around or our head be smashed by the tail.

[VERSE 4]
Am C D Am C D
Though the work seems grand to the young green hand, as he makes up his mind when he goes.
Am C D Am C D
In a very short burst he'd as soon hear a curse than the cry of: “There she blows!”

[VERSE 5]
Am C D Am C D
“All hands on deck now, for God's sake, move briskly if you can.”
Am C D Am C D
And he stumbles on deck, so dizzy and sick; For his life he don't give a damn.

[VERSE 6]
Am D Am C D
And high overhead the great flukes spread, and the mate gives the whale the iron.
Am C D Am C D
And soon the blood in a purple flood from the spout-hole comes a-flying!

[VERSE 7]
Am C D Am C D
All these trials we bear for nigh four years till the flying jib points for home.
Am C D Am C D
We're supposed for our toil to get a bonus on the oil and an equal share on the bone.

[VERSE 8]
Am C D Am C D
But we go to the agent to settle for the trip, And we find we've cause to repent.
Am C D Am C D-
For we've slaved away four years of our life and earned about three pound ten.

The song is repetative so I sugguest breaking into stiffled chords at times of different intensity.
On the Am you can pull off/hammer on the Asus2 and on the D can utilise similarly the Dsus4 and Dsus2
