[Intro 1]
[A][D][G][A][D][G][A][D][Bm][Em][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]No more,
[A]no more, [Bm]Green[G]land[A],
for [Bm]you [G]brave [A]boys.
No [D]more, [A]no [Bm]more [G]Green[A]land for [D]you.
It was [A]1863,[D]
on June of the [G]18th [A]day,
When our [D]gallant [Bm]ship,
her an[Em]chor [G]did lift,
[A]For Gre[D]enland's sai[G]led away
[A]For Gre[D]enland's sailed away
The Lord God on the crossbeam stood
With the spyglass in [G]his [A]hand
There's a [D]whale, there's a [Bm]whale,
there's a [G]whale fishing right
[A]And she[D] blows at eve[G]ry spa[A]n, brave boys
Yes, she [D]blows at [A]every [D]span
Well, we struck the [G]whale,
and the [D]line played out,
And the whale made a flunder with his [A]tail,
And the [D]boat cap[Bm]sized,
and [G]four men were [A]drowned.
And we [D]never [G]caught that [A]whale,
brave boys,
No, we [D]never caught [A]that [D]whale.
Oh, lords, for of [A]my [D]gallant men
It grieves my [G]hearth all [A]sore
But the [D]losing of [G]this great farm quail
[A]It gri[D]eves me ten[G] times mor[A]e, brave boy
Yes, it [D]grieves me ten [A]times [D]more[A][D][A][D][G]
[A][D][Bm][Em][G][A][D][G][A][D][G][A][D]
Elk Greenland is [A]a d[D]readful place,
it's a land that's [G]never [A]green.
Where there's [D]ice and [Bm]snow,
and the [G]whale [A]fishers blow,
And [D]daylight sel[G]dom seen,
[A]brave boys, day[D]light seldom seen.
And the whale get[A]s strike,
and the line plays out[D],
And the whale [G]makes a
blunder with [A]his tail,
And the [D]boat capsized,
[Bm]and [Em]I lost [G]my darling man.[A]
[A]No [D]more, [A]no mor[Bm]e,
[G]Gre[A]enland for you[Bm], gre[G]at boys.[A]
[D]No [A]more, no [Bm]more,
[G]Gre[A]enland for you[D].[D]
Thank you.
