Sailing to the end of the world

My ship is grand, so tall she stands.

I’ve been trying to wake the captain

Ahoy land, Ahoy land.

He’s been up all night with the devil
     E     A           E   A 
Been drinking up been drinking up

He’s been up all night with the devil
             E   A             E  A
Dancin’ up a storm storm storm

The ocean’s she’s a dancin’ all over us
