            [Verse]
    A               
To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean,
   Amaj7                                   D6
to ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
    A               
To work in the service of life and living,
    Amaj7                                  D6
in search of the answers of questions unknown
    A                           
To be part of the movement an part of the growing,
                        Em7
part of beginning to understand,
[Chorus]
D                A                              
Aye Calypso the places you've been to,
    D                  A
the things that you've shown us,
    E            A
the stories you tell
D               A
Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit,
D                 A             E            A  
the men who have served you so long and so well
        E       D       A       
Hi dee ay-ee...ooo doo-dle 
        E       D      A
oo do do do do do doo-dle 
        E       D       A       
Hi dee ay-ee...ooo doo-dle 
       E        Dsus4   D       A
ay ee  do doo-dle.. .. .. .. .. .. 
[Verse]
    A               
Like the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you
   Amaj7                                   D6
To light up the darkness and show us the way
    A               
For though we are strangers in your silent world
    Amaj7                                  D6
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
    A                           
To be true as the tide and free as a wind swell
                        Em7
Joyful and loving in letting it be
[Chorus]
D                A                              
Aye Calypso the places you've been to,
    D                  A
the things that you've shown us,
    E            A
the stories you tell
D               A
Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit,
D                 A             E            A  
the men who have served you so long and so well
        E       D       A       
Hi dee ay-ee...ooo doo-dle 
        E       D      A
oo do do do do do doo-dle 
        E       D       A
