Verse 1
G C G Ever since the days of old the Navy's ruled the waves. D G For years they've told the world that Britain's never shall be slaves. C G The Navy still remembers and you'll often hear them say A7 D What Nelson told Napoleon upon Trafalgar day.
Chorus 1
G D It serves you right, you shouldn't have joined, it jolly well serves you right. G It serves you right, you shouldn't have joined, you might have been sitting tight A You might have been in Civvy Street instead of in the fight D G But it serves you right, you shouldn't have joined, it jolly well serves you right C G A D And it's no use kicking up a row because your nobody's sweetheart now. G A You can weep and sigh and pipe your eye but still youre in the fight D G It serves you right, you shouldn't have joined, it jolly well serves you right.
Verse 2
G C G I wouldn't mind the Navy if the blinking ship were still D G It's all this bobbing up and down that makes me feel so ill. C G The seas alright for sharks and whales and things the like of that A7 D But I'd rather stick my Marlin's Pike in llkley Moor ba'tat
Chorus 2
G D But It serves me right, I shouldn't have joined, it jolly well serves me right G It serves me right, I shouldn't have joined, I might have been sitting tight. A When I was cleaning windows I would keep em nice and bright D G But now I'm polishing portholes, rubbing them up with all me might. C D G A D And it's no use kicking up a row because I'm nobody's sweetheart now.
Verse 3
G A One day up in the crows nest I was feeling bright and gay D 'Til the captain shouted Dont come down, we've taken the ship away'. G I used to be a chimney sweep in dear old Wigan town. A7 D I used to do the lady's down the street for half a crown G C But now I don't get nothing for the little jobs I do. A7 D I wish I was in Wigan sweeping Mrs.Jones's flue.
Chrous 3
G D But it serves me right, I shouldn't have joined, it jolly well serves me right It serves me right, I shouldn't have joined, I might have been sitting tight. G A7 I thought in every port I'd get a cuddle every night D G But all I've done is cuddle a gun and work up an appetite. C D G A D And it's no use kicking up a row because I'm nobody's sweetheart now. G A There's a draught around my fore and aft my jumper's much too tight D G I've got barnacles on my binnacle and it ruddy well serves me right.

OUTRO
C A life on the open sea, is not very good for me D G It serves you right, you shouldn't have joined, it jolly well serves you right!
