[Verse]
D Good people give ear to me story, C D pay attention, and none of your lip,
for I've brought you five lads and their daddy,
C D intending to build ye's a ship. D Wallsend is wor habitation, C D it's the place we was all born and bred
and there's nay finer lads in the nation
C D and none are more gallantly led.
G
[Chorus]
A D E What have we got, but the buzzer in the morning? A D E Aye, and what have we got, but the laying of a keel? A D E And what have we got, but the cranes above us soaring? A D E A The commotion and the clamour in the welding of the steel?
[Chorus]
A D E What have we got, but the mist upon the river? A D E Tell me, what have we got, but the noise inside the hold? A D E Oh, what have we got, but the arse end of the weather? A D E A Where we work in horizontal rain, and shiver in the cold.
[Verse]
B What do ye got? (What do we got?) F# What do ye got? (What do we got?) G#m You've got nowt. G#m F# B We've got nowt else. B What do ye got? (What do we got?) F# What do ye got? (What do we got?) G#m You've got nowt. G#m F# B We've got nowt else.
[Chorus]
A D E What have ye got, but the singing in the cables? A D E Oh, what have ye got, but the ringing in your ears? A D E Aye, what have ye got, but the telling of the fables? A D E A And the memories of the ships, that we've been building donkey's years.
[Verse]
B What do ye got? (What do we got?) F# What do ye got? (What do we got?) G#m You've got nowt. G#m F# B We've got nowt else. B What do ye got? (What do we got?) F# What do ye got? (What do we got?) G#m You've got nowt. G#m F# B We've got nowt else.

[Chorus]
G C D What have ye got, all you men what's fit and able? G C D What have ye got, for the straining in your neck? G C D What have ye got, when you're laid out on the table? Em D C G And the snapping of a cable when the rigging hits the deck?
[Chorus]
G C D What have ye got, but the loyalty of brothers? G C D What have ye got, but this union of the dock? G C D What have ye got, a bacon sandwich from your mother? Em D C A Not a promise of another with the punching of the clock.
