    Am                                     E
The 16 fishermen raving out on the town on E

Am          G                       F           E    Am
16 peacocks leave their nest and go flying into mystery

     Am                                              E
they try to cut the spainish look but they look so untidy

     Am                  G                            F           E    Am   G
dont ask too much you'll never get enough when you're flying into mystery

C                G          C                G
flyin into mystery when you should be out seafarin

C                G                F      E  Am
run out the jib rig the boom step back reality

           Am                                        E
when their ship is on the ocean their nights are so empty

        Am           G                   F           E     Am
they're weary of the smelly fish and the wash of the salty sea

Am                                            E
16 fishermen raving each one carrying his own caul

       Am                  G                    F        E     Am   G
they believed it will keep death away when they face the angry squall

    C              G               C               G
why face the angry squall when you could go go-go dancin

C               G                 F    E   Am
run out the jib rig the boom step back reality

Am           E
yad adad ada yadd a dadd a da yat ti a rat ti a rat ti a ra da

Am              E
yadd a dad a da yad adad ada yatt tye a rat tie a rat

       Am                                      E
to the 16 fishermen raving those girls look so fancy

          Am                   G                       F         E         Am
you could ate your fry off the back of her neck if you want some more say please

     Am                                             E
when fishermen are feeling good they feel it musically

     Am              G               F           E     Am   G
they go down singing shanties to the dancefloor all at sea

       C                 G   C            G
to the dancefloor all at sea 16 fishermen ravers

C               G                 F    E    Am  G
run out the jib rig the boom step back reality

C               G             C               G
flyin in to mystery when you should be out seafarin

C               G                 F      E  Am
run out the jib rig the boom step back reality

Am           E
yad adad ada yadd a dadd a da yat ti a rat ti a rat ti a ra da

Am              E
