F
Take the wheel I hear the timbers creaking
 D#                          A#
Take the wheel I think this ship is sinking
A#                                        G 
Jamaica seems so far and I've been thinking
     C
Old Billy Bones has gone to sea
                           F
and quit his dockside drinking

Chorus:
          D#            G#            A#
Check it out, check it out, check it out

And when I'm dead who'll fly the white bird home
I'm not the ancient mariner your children know
And the sea's the field these old jack tars have sown
Because billy bones just wants
to know who'll fly the white bird home

Chorus:
          D#           G#            A#
Check it out, check it out, check it out,
          F             D#           G#            A#
Check it out, check it out, check it out, check it out,

         F
Oh your majesty, your majesty
 G#  
I heard the bosun cry
Dm
Old Billy Bones has washed ashore
C#              C
Upon a foreign tide

Chorus - x2

Oh your majesty, your majesty
I heard the bosun cry
Old billy bones has washed ashore
Upon a foreign tide

Check It out, check it out, check it out
Check It out, check it out, check it out
Check It out, check it out, check it out
Check It out, check it out, check it out
