[Verse 1]
D                              G
Joel, the organ player, hits a long and lonely key
    D                                   A
His lover Johnny's heart lies with both Joel and the sea
    D                        G
But Joel is a broken pirate, broken as can be
   D                  A             D
He longs for land and new places to see


[Chorus]
    D
So, jolly up the roger, lower your mast
G
Johnny and Joel are never gonna last
D                                 A
Raise a grog to troubles past and yet to come
          D
There's a brave new world we've yet to see
      G
We've missed the hills and missed the trees
          D                       A               D
And we're off (and we're off!) to see the distant land


[Verse 2]
     D                                G
I've seen the look that Joel gives as Johnny tends his mast
       D                            A
It's a look of love and desperation just waiting to pass
   D                             G
He contemplates his future as he pours another glass
D            A        D
  Johnny and Joel are never gonna last


[Chorus]
    D
So, jolly up the roger, lower your mast
G
Johnny and Joel are never gonna last
D                                 A
Raise a grog to troubles past and yet to come
          D
There's a brave new world we've yet to see
      G
We've missed the hills and missed the trees
          D                       A               D
And we're off (and we're off!) to see the distant land

[Verse 3]
          D
There's a brand new port in New York City
   G
We hear the boys are strong and pretty
        D                                     A
And the pubs are filled with rum and cheerful tune
       D
It's a brand new world, and Joel's intrigued
    G
But Johnny's heart lies with the sea
D                 A         D
Better think over what he's gonna do


[Chorus]
    D
So, jolly up the roger, lower your mast
G
Johnny and Joel are never gonna last
D                                 A
Raise a grog to troubles past and yet to come
          D
There's a brave new world we've yet to see
      G
We've missed the hills and missed the trees
          D                       A               D
And we're off (and we're off!) to see the distant land
