{ci: Verse 1}
[Bm]We sail tonight for Singapore we're all as mad as hatters here
I've fallen for a tawny moor took off to the Land of Nod
[Em]Drank with all the Chinamen walked the sewers of Paris
[Bm]I danced along a colored wind dangled from a rope of sand
[F#]You must say goodbye to [Bm]me

{ci: Verse 2}
[Bm]We sail tonight for Singapore don't fall asleep while you're ashore
Cross your heart and hope to die when you hear the children cry
[Em]Let marrowbone and cleaver choose while making feet for children's shoes
[Bm]Through the alley back from hell when you hear that steeple bell
[F#]You must say goodbye to [Bm]me

{ci: Bridge 1}
[Em]Wipe him down with [Bm]gasoline
[Em]Till his arms are [Bm]hard and mean
[Em]From now on boys this [Bm]iron boat's your [D]home

So heave away [F#]boys

{ci: Verse 3}
[Bm]We sail tonight for Singapore take your blankets from the floor
Wash your mouth out by the door the whole town's made of iron ore
[Em]Every witness turns to steam they all become Italian dreams
[Bm]Fill your pockets up with earth get yourself a dollar's worth
[F#]Away boys away boys heave [Bm]away

{ci: Bridge 2}
[Em]The captain is a [Bm]one-armed dwarf
He's [Em]throwing dice [Bm]along the wharf
[Em]In the land of the blind the [Bm]one-eyed man is [D]King
