BOOTHBAY WHALE
Folk song from Maine
Key: D
 
5  -5   6  6    5   4    6    6   5   5
It was way up north in Booth-bay har-bor
  5    5  6    6   -5  5    -4
Where the wa-ter’s al-ways cold
-4   -3  -3  -4   6  6  -7  -7 -6
The fish-er folk are a clev-er lot
6  -5 -5 5    -4   4
Or so I have been told
 3   4   4   4   5    6    7
Blow hi for his big black-head
 -7  -6  -6  -6   7   -6    6
Blow low for his big black tail
 6   6     6   5   6   -6 -6  6   6   5
Now step right up and take a lit-tle swig
 5    5     -4  -5 -5   5   -4    4
And you’ll soon see a Booth-bay whale.
