    We sail the ocean blue, and our saucy ship's a beauty.

    we're sober men and true, and attentive to our duty.

                      F                                        C

    When the balls whistle free  o'er the bright blue sea,

            G                              C

    we stand to our guns all day.

                  B7                                E

    Ahoy! Ahoy! The balls whistle free.

                  B7                                   E

    Ahoy! Ahoy! O'er the bright blue sea,

             G                                                 G7

    We stand to our guns, to our guns all day.
