[D]Ships may come and [G]ships may go
As [A]long as the sea does [D]roll.
Each sailor lad just [G]like his dad,
He [A]loves the flowing [D]bowl.
A trip on shore he [G]does adore
With a [Bm]girl who's nice and [A]round.
When the [D]money's gone
It's [G]the same old song,
"Get [Bm]up Jack! [A]John, sit [D]down!"
Come along, come along, You [G]jolly brave boys,
There's [Bm]lots of grog in the [A]jar.
We'll [D]plough the briny [G]ocean
With the [Bm]jolly [A]roving [D]tar.
|D (x3)|A|
When [D]Jack comes in, it's [G]then he'll steer
To [A]some old boarding [D]house.
They'll welcome him with [G]rum and gin,
And [A]feed him on pork [D]scouse.
He'll lend, spend and he'll [G]not offend
Till he's [Bm]lyin' drunk on the [A]ground
When the [D]money's gone
It's [G]the same old song,
"Get [Bm]up Jack! [A]John, sit [D]down!"
Come along, come along, You [G]jolly brave boys,
There's [Bm]lots of grog in the [A]jar.
We'll [D]plough the briny [G]ocean
With the [Bm]jolly [A]roving [D]tar.
|D (x3)|A|
Jack, he then, oh [G]then he'll sail
Bound [A]down for Newfound[D]land
All the ladies fair in [G]Placentia there
They [A]love that sailor [D]man.
He'll go to shore out [G]on a tear
And he'll [Bm]buy some girl a [A]gown.
When the [D]money's gone
It's [G]the same old song,
"Get [Bm]up Jack! [A]John, sit [D]down!"
Come along, come along, You [G]jolly brave boys,
There's [Bm]lots of grog in the [A]jar.
We'll [D]plough the briny [G]ocean
With the [Bm]jolly [A]roving [D]tar.

When [D]Jack gets old and [G]weatherbeat,
Too [A]old to roam a[G]bout,
They'll [D]let him stop in [G]some rum shop
Till [A]eight bells calls him [D]out.
Then he'll [D]raise his eyes up [G]to the skies,
Sayin' [Bm]"Boys, we're homeward [A]bound."
D (If you want, you can keep playing here, but you're)
When the money's gone (supposed to do the rest of the verse a capella)
It's [G]the same old song,
"Get [Bm]up Jack! [A]John, sit [D]down!"
Come along, come along, You [G]jolly brave boys,
There's [Bm]lots of grog in the [A]jar.
We'll [D]plough the briny [G]ocean
With the [Bm]jolly [A]roving [D]tar.
Come along, come along, You [G]jolly brave boys,
There's [Bm]lots of grog in the [A]jar.
We'll [D]plough the briny [G]ocean
With the [Bm]jolly [A]roving [D]tar.
