[Verse]
  G                             C          D
Come all you young sailormen, listen to me
  G                             C          D
I'll sing you a song of the fish in the sea,
and it's...


[Chorus]
  G                   C
Windy weather boys, stormy weather, boys
  G                         D
When the wind blows we're all together, boys
  G                       C
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
  G                       D            
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes.


[Verse]
  G                         C        D
Up jumps the eel with his slippery tail,
  G                    C           D
Climbs up aloft and reefs the topsail,
and it's...


[Chorus]
  G                   C
Windy weather boys, stormy weather, boys
  G                         D
When the wind blows we're all together, boys
  G                       C
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
  G                       D            
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes.


[Verse]
  G                                 C            D
Then up jumps the shark with his nine rows of teeth
  G                                    C             D
Saying, 'You eat the dough boys, and I'll eat the beef!
and it's...


[Chorus]
  G                   C
Windy weather boys, stormy weather, boys
  G                         D
When the wind blows we're all together, boys
  G                       C
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
  G                       D            
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes.


[Verse]
  G                         C           D
Up jumps the lobster with his heavy claws,
  G                             C         D
Bites the main boom right off by the jaws!
and it's...


[Chorus]
  G                   C
Windy weather boys, stormy weather, boys
  G                         D
When the wind blows we're all together, boys
  G                       C
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
  G                       D            
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes.


[Verse]
  G                            C          D
Up jumps the halibut, lies flat on the deck
  G                                 C          D
He says, 'Mister Captain, don't step on my neck!'
and it's...


[Chorus]
  G                   C
Windy weather boys, stormy weather, boys
  G                         D
When the wind blows we're all together, boys
  G                       C
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
  G                       D            
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes.


[Verse]
  G                             C         D
Up jumps the herring, the king of the sea,
  G                          C              D
Saying, 'All other fishes, now you follow me!'
and it's...


[Chorus]
  G                   C
Windy weather boys, stormy weather, boys
  G                         D
When the wind blows we're all together, boys
  G                       C
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
  G                       D            
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes.


[Verse]
  G                         C            D
Up jumps the codfish with his chuckle-head,
  G                             C            D
He runs out up forward and throws out the lead!
and it's...


[Chorus]
  G                   C
Windy weather boys, stormy weather, boys
  G                         D
When the wind blows we're all together, boys
  G                       C
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
  G                       D            
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes.


[Verse]
  G                          C          D
Up jumps the whale... the largest of all,
     G                               C          D
'If you want any wind, well, I'll blow ye a squall!'
and it's...


[Chorus]
  G                   C
Windy weather boys, stormy weather, boys
  G                         D
When the wind blows we're all together, boys
  G                       C
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
  G                       D            
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes.
