Tonart: A minor
Verse 1
Am
A song now from the sea,
a song of the great sailing ships,
many years ago of course.
It was the job of the crew
on these big ships
to climb up into the rigging
B
and to translate the commands
Am
of the captain into ac tion.
They would grab these big heavy ropes
and they would pull very hard
and the sails would slowly come
up.
In order to change course
or if it came time to weigh the anchor,
B
Am
about seven or eight men would gather around a big capstan,
a big windlass.
and they would all push very hard
yes and the anchor would slowly
come up
very strenuous and grueling work
a few years ago
B
I was seeking to imbue the Por
Am
tuguese fishermen of Cape Cod
with a natural pride in their folk heritage
I took a trip on a Portuguese fishing vessel
he went out early in the morning
when it came time to come back to port
the captain started giving orders and I
I jumped up on the boom and
I said blast the hollard
B
Am
and heave away and haul away
B
