Calypso    (midi)

 

          A

1. To sail on a dream, on a crystal clear ocean,

                                                                 E

    to ride on the crest of the wild raging storm.

            A

    To work in the service of life and the living,

                                                                        D

    in search of the answers to questions unknown.

                A

    To be part of the movement and part of the growing,

                                               A7

    part of beginning to understand.

 

 D                            A                         

Aye, Calypso, the places you´ve been to,

        D                     A                    E              A

the things you´ve shown us, the stories you tell !

  D                      A                       

Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit,

         D                    A             E                    A

the men who have served so long and so well.

 

                E       D    A                  E      D      A         

   Dodle - ayee ohooo.   Dodle - ayee didididi.

                 E       D    A                  E    D       - A         

    Dodle - ayee didididi. Dodle - ayee di.

 

                   A

2. Like the dolphins who guides you, you bring us beside you,

                                                                        E

    to light up the darkness and show us the way.

             A

    For though we are strangers in your silent world.

                                                                        D

    to live on the land we must learn from the sea.

                A

    To be true as the tide and free as a windswell,

                                                 A7

     joyful and loving in letting it be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 D                            A                         

Aye, Calypso, the places you´ve been to,

        D                     A                    E              A

the things you´ve shown us, the stories you tell !

  D                      A                       

Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit,

         D                    A             E                    A

the men who have served so long and so well.   (2x)
