Tom: D
D A G D
[Verse 1]
D G D Bm
All you sea barren men, you're bound to sail again
D Bm Em A7
Far away from your mooring down in Portsmouth
D G D Bm
With your mast strung high and wavin’ goodbye
D A D
To the lassies you left on shore
[Chorus]
A G D
I've a fine strong crew and I tell them what to do
A G D
I’m the captain of the ship The Bonny La-dy
G D Bm
She's my joy and my pride and she's twenty meters wide
D A G D
And I call her the ship The Bonny La-dy
[Verse 2]
D G D Bm
So haul down the riggin' for we're bound to sail away
D Bm Em A7
Across the ragin' ocean and we're sailin' out today
D G D Bm
And if we do return you're bound to hear us say
D A D
We’ll be going to sea once more
[Chorus]
A G D
I've a fine strong crew and I tell them what to do
A G D
I’m the captain of the ship The Bonny La-dy
G D Bm
She's my joy and my pride and she's twenty meters wide
D A G D
And I call her the ship The Bonny La-dy
[Verse 3]
D G D Bm
Well my shipmates and me, we sail from sea to sea
D Bm Em A7
With the wind a-whistlin' through the sails
D G D Bm
Though the crew gets no rest, they think that I'm the best
D A D
Cause I bailed them one and all out of jail
[Chorus]
A G D
I've a fine strong crew and I tell them what to do
A G D
I’m the captain of the ship The Bonny La-dy
G D Bm
She's my joy and my pride and she's twenty meters wide
D A G D
And I call her the ship The Bonny La-dy
[Bridge]

[Verse 4]
D G D Bm
We've a vast haul of rum, a cargo we will run
D Bm Em A7
From along the far off shores of Haiti
D G D Bm
With the brisk salt air just blowin' through me hair
D A D
At the wheel of the ship The Bonny Lady
[Chorus]
A G D
I've a fine strong crew and I tell them what to do
A G D
I’m the captain of the ship The Bonny La-dy
G D Bm
She's my joy and my pride and she's twenty meters wide
D A G D
And I call her the ship The Bonny La-dy
[Chorus]
A G D
I've a fine strong crew and I tell them what to do
A G D
I’m the captain of the ship The Bonny La-dy
G D Bm
She's my joy and my pride and she's twenty meters wide
D A G D
And I call her the ship The Bonny La-dy
