[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am
We are two mariners, our ships' sole survivors
E
In this belly of a whale
Its ribs our ceiling beams, its guts our carpeting
Am
I guess we have some time to kill
You may not remember me, I was a child of three
E
And you a lad of eighteen
But I remember you and I will relay to you
Am
How our histories interweave
F Am
At the time you were a rake and a roustabout
F E F E
Spending all your money on the whores and hounds, oh
[Verse 2]
Am
You had a charming air, all cheap and debonair
E
My widowed mother found so sweet
And so she took you in, her sheets still warm with him
Am
Now filled with filth and foul disease
F Am
As time wore on you proved a debt-ridden drunken mess
F E F E
Leaving my mother a poor consumptive wretch, oh
[Verse 3]
Am
And then you dissapeared, your gambling arrears
E
The only thing you left behind
And then the magistrate reclaimed our small estate
Am
And my poor mother lost her mind
F Am
Then one day in spring my dear sweet mother died
F E F E
But before she did I took her hand as she dying cried, oh
[Chorus]
Dm
"Find him, bind him
Tie him to a pole and break his
Am
Fingers to splinters
Drag him to a hole until he
Dm
Wakes up naked
E F E
Clawing at the ceiling of his grave"
[Instrumental]
Am G Am G Am G Am
[Verse 4]
Am
It took me fifteen years to swallow all my tears
E
Among the urchins in the street
Until a priory took pity and hired me
Am
To keep their vestry nice and neat
F Am
But never once in the employ of these holy men
F E F E
Did I ever once stir my mind from the thought of revenge, oh
[Verse 5]
Am
One night I overheard the prior exhanging words
E
With a penitent whaler from the sea
The captain of his ship who matched you toe to tip
Am
Was known for wanton cruelty
F Am
The following day I shipped to sea with a privateer
F E F E
And in the whistle of the wind I could almost hear, oh
[Chorus]
Dm
"Find him, bind him
Tie him to a pole and break his
Am
Fingers to splinters
Drag him to a hole until he
Dm
Wakes up naked
E F E
Clawing at the ceiling of his grave
[Bridge]
C G
There is one thing I must say to you
C G
As you sail across the sea
Am Em
Always your mother will watch over you
F E
As you avenge this wicked deed"
[Interlude]
Dm Am Dm E
Dm Am Dm E
Dm Am Dm E
Dm Am Dm E
[Verse 6]
Am
And then that fateful night we had you in our sight
E
After twenty months at sea
Your starboard flank a beam, I was getting my muskets clean
Am
when came this rumbling from beneath
F Am
The ocean stirred the sky went black and the captain quailed
F E F E
And before us grew the angry jaws of a giant whale, oh
[Verse 7]
Am
Don't know how I survived, the crew all was chewed alive
E
I must have slipped between his teeth
But oh what providence, what divine intelligence
Am
That you should survive as well as me
F Am
It gives my heart great joy to see your eyes fill with fear
F E F E
So lean in close and I will whisper the last words you'll hear, oh
