Drunken Sailor  Traditional

[Am]What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
[G]What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
[Am]What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
[G]Ear-lye in the [Am]mornin'?

[Am]Way, hey, an' up she rises,
[G]Way, hey, an' up she rises,
[Am]Way, hey, an' up she rises,
[G]Ear-lye in the [Am]morning.

Put him in the longboat 'till he's sober...

Keep him there and make him bail 'er...

Give him a dose of salt and water...

Shave his belly with a rusty razor...

Put him in bed with the captain's daughter...

[Am]She looks like an orangutan,
[G]She looks like an orangutan,
[Am]She looks like an orangutan,
[G]Swinging through the rigging.

[Am]There she goes, swinging through the rigging,
[G]There she goes, swinging through the rigging,
[Am]There she goes, swinging through the rigging,
[G]Ear-lye in the morning.
What shall we do with a drunken sailor?...

You should add a D chord on the word "in"
in Ear-lye IN the Mornin' because the actual note you sing on the word is D.
It sounds better!

What'll we do with a drunken sailor,
What'll we do with a drunken sailor,
What'll we do with a drunken sailor,
Earl-aye in the morning?

Way hay and up she rises
Patent blocks o' diff'rent sizes,
Way hay and up she rises
Earl-aye in the morning

4. Take 'im and shake 'im, try an' wake 'im.
5. Trice him up in a runnin' bowline.
