[Intro]
Dm    Gm   Dm
 
 
 
[Verse 1]
Dm
Sailing on a ship, Tuscarora was her name
   Gm                                     Dm
We hinged her masts to avoid catching the moon
Dm
Captain Stormalong led us through the seas
         Gm                                   Dm
He was a giant of a man who stood thirty foot tall
Dm
He cried onward past the winds, forward past the storms
     Gm                                      Dm
Feat not my brothers no grave will catch our fall
Dm
See, I was born of the sea and raise on the shore
Gm                                           Dm
Kissed by the rain and blessed by Poseidon's fork
 
 
[Interlude]
Dm
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dm
Now on one fateful day smooth waters all around
            Gm               Dm
Our captain hatched a master plan
Dm
He'd rid the seas of that Kraken beast
     Gm                               Dm
This time he vowed would be it's last stand
Dm
With a storm on the rise we took it by surprise
    Gm                                 Dm
And caught it in a massive whirlpool's web
Dm
Unable to retreat from it's unending defeat
    Gm                             Dm
The souls of sailors rejoiced unbroken
​
 
[Interlude]
Dm
 
 
[Verse 3]
Dm
Now everyone's asking what became of Stormalong
Gm              Dm
Truth is nobody knows
Dm
Some legends claim to hold the final truths
    Gm                    Dm
But no one knows but Davy Jones
Dm
Davy Jones, Davy Jones, no one knows
Dm
But Davy Jones, Davy Jones
