As recorded by Shawn James (From the 2016 Album ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS) [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
