there blew a fearsome gale.

A stranger at the Yacht Club bar
G#
C#m
began an awful tale.
I'll tell you about the flotsam class
C#m
G#
G#m
From Ravage Quay straight out to sea
C#m
B
and twice around the place.
C#m
G#
G#m
The first craft at the halfway mark
B
was Grubby Jean the third
C#m
One -tenth the length behind her
swept the gallant Thunderbird

Twelve others trailed by quarter -miles

while the poor old drinking gourd
C#m

Was staggering so far behind

C#m
we thought she still was bored
G#
C#m
G#
The Thunderbird came tacking down
B
and passed the Grubby Jean
C#m
Her skip per Johnny Pizer,
but a lad of seventeen,
His youthful indiscretion
B
caused the judge to snort aloud,
C#m
B
He put his fingers to his nose
C#m
and scandalized the crowd.
G#m
The stranger took another drink
B
and heaved a fearful sigh
C#m
We yachtsmen stood in silence,
round a tear in every eye
And as the tale began again,
B
no man dared laugh or joke
The stranger's heart,
C#m
B
we all could tell,
C#m
G#
C#m
B
was very nearly broke
C#m
Well, then suddenly from nowhere near
C#m

The drink ing gourd come in to view,
C#m
her speed caused all to cheer
She overhauled the grubby jean,
B
she passed the Thunderbird
C#m
B
And Johnny Pizer cursed aloud,
C#m
it's good he wasn't hurt
Well when the race was over
G#m

we all rushed with wild surmise
C#m
G#
To learn the mighty secret
C#m
which had won the gourd her prize
G#
C#m
Her smirking captain faced the crowd,
B
it's simple but it's fine
C#m

We simply took a good long breath
C#m
B
C#m
and blew her across the line
G#
C#m
G#
C#m
B
C#m
G#
The stranger paused,
C#m
G#
B
I'll tell you who I am,
and whence I came
C#m
G#
I'm just a crazy sailing man,
C#m
B
C#m
John Pizer was my name
G#
C#m
G#
I tried the trick to no avail,
B
I've blown with all my might
He gasped,
and he fell dead across the bar,
C#m
And we all drank tea that night.
