Lyrics and chords are correct.

A             A6
To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
  Amaj7         A      Bm/A
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
  A           A6
To work in the service of life and living
   Amaj7     A            Bm/A
In search of the answers to the questions unknown
    A            A6
To be part of the movement and part of the growing
Amaj7   A       Em7/A (open for two bars)
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      E7
The men who have served you so long and so well

       E        D   A
Hi - dee - ay -- ee -  ooo------

     A             A6
Like the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you
  Amaj7           A      Bm/A
To light up the darkness and show us the way
   A             A6
For though we are strangers in your silent world
  Amaj7     A            Bm/A
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
    A          A6
To be true as the tide and free as a wind swell
Amaj7    A         Em7/A (open for two bars)
Joyful and loving in letting it be

Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit

The men who have served you so long and so well
