Hi Gypsy, please ignore the last five (yes five) messages the 'puter just threw a wobbler. One of the joys/mysteries of modern technology, never let anyone tell you they don't have minds of their own. However here come the chords.

FIRST PART. IN KEY OF G

Captain Jack was a young man when he went to sea
  G                                 C          G
  Oh, me young ladies, go and kiss him goodbye.
  G                           D7           G
  He was barely a child of twenty and three
  G                           C        D7
  Oh, tell him, young ladies, go and tell him from me,
      G                               C            G
  He can marry the mermaid that lives in the sea.
         C            D7                     G    

SECOND PART. IN KEY OF AM    

It was almost eight bells and Jack had the watch.
  Am                            Em            Am
  He was finning and scaling the fish he had caught,
     Am                          Em
  When out of the sea there rose such a tune
  Am                          Em         Am
  As he had not heard by the light of the moon.
     Am           G             Em          Am    

THIRD PART. IN KEY OF A    

Captain Jack was a young man when he went to sea.
   A                                D          A
  Oh, me young ladies, go and kiss him goodbye.
   A                            E7         A
  He was barely a child of twenty and three.
   A                         D          E7
  Oh, tell him, young ladies, go and tell him from me
   A                                  D            A
  He can marry the mermaid that lives in the sea.
           D        E7                       A
  Tell him, young ladies, go and tell him from me
  A                               D            A
  He can marry the mermaid that lives in the sea.
          D         E7                        A
