Вступление
[Intro]
G
[Verse]
D C
John Taylor left his native home
D G
After the whale-fish he did go
D C
From the Atlantic coast and around Cape Horn
D G
To the South Seas where the whale-fish blow
[Chorus]
D G Bm
Oh it's, hang on, John
Am G
Soon you'll see your native shore
D G Bm
And it's, hang on, John
Am G
You'll see Nantucket's shores once more
[Verse]
D C
Well, his boat was sunk and his luck bein' gone
D G
Round a rocky island he made his home
D C
And he prayed and he hoped and he dreamed in vain
D G
For a ship to carry him home again
[Chorus]
D G Bm
But it's, hang on, John
Am G
Soon you'll see your native shore
D G Bm
And it's, hang on, John
Am G
You'll see Nantucket's shores once more
[Verse]
D C
An old man come a-walkin' along the beach
D G
Harpoon in hand and a shining face
D C
"I come from my home on the rolling sea
D G
Carry you back to your native place"
[Chorus]
D G Bm
So it's, hang on, John
Am G
Soon you'll see your native shore
D G Bm
And it's, hang on, John
Am G
You'll see Nantucket's shores once more
[Verse]
D C
Well, they sang and they rowed and they sang and sailed
D G
Till they spied them a newborn whale
D C
And the old man harpooned him in the back
D G
Out to sea they hauled their slack
[Chorus]
D G Bm
And it's, hang on, John
Am G
Soon you'll see your native shore
D G Bm
And it's, hang on, John
Am G
You'll see Nantucket's shores once more
[Instrumental]
G
[Verse]
D C
Well, they had not been sailin' but a month or more
D G
"Land ho!" was the old man's happy words
D C
And John saw the cliffs risin' from the sea
D G
Heard the cry o' Nantucket birds
[Chorus]
D G Bm
Oh it's, hang on, John
Am G
Soon you'll see your native shore
D G Bm
And it's, hang on, John
Am G
You'll see Nantucket's shores once more
[Verse]
D C
Well, they never stopped when they reached dry ground
D G
But they hauled their slack into John's hometown
D C
And John got off at his own front door
D G
Never saw the old man or the whale anymore
[Chorus]
D G Bm
Oh it's, hang on, John
Am G
Soon you'll see your native shore
D G Bm
And it's, hang on, John
Am G
You'll see Nantucket's shores once more
