[Intro] A D A E A A E D E A A7 D A D D E D A [Chorus] D A E A 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, A D "Oh, there be breakers dead ahead, E Bm E A 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] A Bm D E A "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? E Bm E A 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] D A E A 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] D A E A 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, E Bm E A 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] D A E A 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] D A E A 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.
