[Intro]
A D A E A A E D E
A A7 D A D D E D A
[Chorus]
He was the Captain of the Nightingale,
A E D E
twenty-one days from Clyde in coal,
A A7 D A D
he could smell the flowers of Bermuda in the gale,
D E D A
when he died on the North Rock Shoal.
[Verse]
A Bm D E A
Just five short hours from Bermuda,
A E A E A D
in a fine October gale, there came a cry,
"Oh, there be breakers dead ahead,
from the collier Nightengale."
A D A E A
No sooner had the Captain brought her 'round,
A E A E A
came a rending crash below,
A D A D
hard on her beam ends groaning like the Nightengale,
D E D A
and overside her mainmast blows.
[Verse]
"Oh, Captain, are we all for drowning?"
A E A E A
came the cry from all the crew,
A D A D
"The boats be smashed! How are we all then to be saved?
They are stove in through and through!"
A D A E A
"Oh, are ye brave and hardy colliermen,
A E A E A
or are ye blind and cannot see?
A D A D
The Captain's gig still lies before ye whole and sound,
D E D A
it shall carry all o' we." Here we go!
[Chorus]
He was the Captain of the Nightingale,
A E D E
twenty-one days from Clyde in coal,
A A7 D A D
he could smell the flowers of Bermuda in the gale,
D E D A
when he died on the North Rock Shoal.
[Verse]
A Bm D E A
But when the crew were all assembled,
A E A E A
and the gig prepared for sea,
A D A D
was seen there were but eighteen places to be manned,
E Bm E A
nineteen mortal souls were we.
A D A E A
But cries the Captain, "Now, do not delay,
A E A E A
nor do ye spare a thought for me,
A D A D
my duty is to save ye all now if I can,
D E D A
see ye return quick as can be."
[Chorus]
He was the Captain of the Nightingale,
A E D E
twenty-one days from Clyde in coal,
A A7 D A D
he could smell the flowers of Bermuda in the gale,
D E D A
when he died on the North Rock Shoal.
[Solo]
A D A E A A E D E
A A7 D A D D E D A
[Verse]
A Bm D E A
Oh, there be flowers in Bermuda,
A E A E A
Beauty lies on every hand...
A D A D
and there be laughter ease and drink for every man,
but there is no joy for me...
A D A E A
For when we reached the wretched Nightengale,
A E A E A
what an awful sight was plain,
A D A D
the Captain drowned, was tangled in the mizzen-chains,
D E D A
smiling bravely beneath the sea.
[Chorus]
He was the Captain of the Nightingale,
A E D E A
twenty-one days from Clyde in coal,
A A7 D A D
he could smell the flowers of Bermuda in the gale,
D E D A
when he died on the North Rock Shoal.
[Chorus]
N.C.
He was the Captain of the Nightingale,
N.C.
twenty-one days from Clyde in coal,
N.C.
he could smell the flowers of Bermuda in the gale,
N.C.
when he died on the North Rock Shoal.
[Chorus]
He was the Captain of the Nightingale,
A E D E
twenty-one days from Clyde in coal,
A A7 D A D
he could smell the flowers of Bermuda in the gale,
D E D A
when he died on the North Rock Shoal.
