[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

There's a brave new world we've yet to see

We've missed the hills and missed the trees

And we're off (and we're off!) to see the distant land
