CAPO 1
Am
We sail tonight for Singapore, we’re all as mad as hatters here
I’ve fallen for a tawny mawr, took off to the Land of Nod
Dm
Drank with all the Chinamen, walked the sewers of Paris
Am
I danced along a colored wind, dangled from a rope of sand
E Am
You must say goodbye to me
Am
We sail tonight for Singapore, don’t fall asleep while
you’re ashore
Cross your heart and hope to die, when you hear the children cry
Dm
Let marrowbone and cleaver choose, while making feet
for children’s shoes
Through the alley, back from hell, when you hear that steeple bell
E Am
You must say goodbye to me.
Dm Am Dm Am
Wipe him down with gasoline, till his arms are hard and mean
Dm Am C
From now on, boys, this iron boat’s your home
E
So heave awa y, boys
Am
We sail tonight for Singapore, take your blankets from the floor
Wash your mouth out by the door, the whole town’s made of iron ore
Dm
Every witness turns to steam, they all become Italian dreams
Fill your pockets up with earth, get yourself a dollar’s worth
C
Away boys
away boys,
E Am
heave away
Dm Am Dm Am
The captain is a one-armed dwarf, he’s throwing dice along
the wharf
Dm Am C
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King
E
So take this ring
Am
We sail tonight for Singapore, we’re all as mad as hatters here
