(VERSE 1)
      G            G              C             G     
The canals and the bridges, the embankments and cuts,
 
     G           Am              C               D          
They blasted and dug with their sweat and their guts
 
     C           G         C          G     
They never drank water but whiskey by pints
 
        G            C               D               G     
And the shanty towns rang with their songs and their fights 
 
 
(CHORUS)
    G          G           C         G     
Navigator, navigator, rise up and be strong,
 
    G          Am                C          D   
The morning is here and there's work to be done 
 
          c             G              C        G   
Take your pick and your shovel and the bold dynamite
 
       G           C            D         G    
For to shift a few tons of this earthly delight,
 
       G           C            D         G          
Yes to shift a few tons of this earthly delight 
(Bridge)

(VERSE 2)
     G             G                 C            G         
They died in their hundreds, with no sign to mark where,
 
         G            G             C       D        
Save the brass in the pocket of the entrepreneur 
 
   C             G                   C         G        
By landslide and rock blast they got buried so deep,
 
        G            C                 D                G      
That in death if not life they'll have peace while they sleep 
(CHORUS)
 
(VERSE 3)
      G            G             C              G         
Their mark on this land is still seen and still laid 
 
    G         Am                  C             D        
The way for a commerce where vast fortunes were made 
 
      C          G                C         G        
The supply of an empire where the sun never sets,
 
         G           C                D               G     
Which is now deep in darkness but the railway's there yet  
(CHORUS)
