I've included a '/' to give a better understanding of the rhythm. It means play
the same chord as previously noted. On the recording, the last word of each verse
is 'drowned out' by the first 'Di' but I tend to actually sing it and cut out the
first 'Di'... eg.... '....captain's leg di di di ....di de di ...di' Also, I can
not work out exactly what they sing in the line '....smashing their wee boat was
sat a gale'. Some people sing it as '...crashing on their small boat like a gale'
but that is definitely NOT what is sung on the recording.
