Boothbay Whale (chrom)

Folk song from Maine

Key: D

-6* 7 -7 -7 -6* -5 -7 -7 -6* -6*

It was way up north in Booth-bay har-bor

-6* -6* -7 -7 7 -6* 6

Where the wa-ter’s al-ways cold

6 5* 5* 6 -7 -7 8* 8* -8

The fish-er folk are a clev-er lot

-7 7 7 -6* 6 -5

Or so I have been told

-3 -5 -5 -5 -6* -7 -9

Blow hi for his big black-head

8* -8 -8 -8 -9 -8 -7

Blow low for his big black tail

-7 -7 -7 -6* -7 -8 -8 -7 -7 -6*

Now step right up and take a lit-tle swig

-6* -6* 6 7 7 -6* 6 -5

And you’ll soon see a Booth-bay whale.
