[Verse 1]
D G D
The canals and the bridges, the embankments and cuts
D Bm G A
They blasted and dug with their sweat and their guts
G D G D
They never drank water but whisky by pints
D G A D
And the shanty towns rang with their songs and their fights
[Chorus]
D G D
Navigator, Navigator rise up and be strong
D Bm G A
The morning is here and there's work to be done
G D G D
Take your pick and your shovel and the bold dynamite
D G A D
For to shift a few tons of this earthly delight
D G A D
Yes to shift a few tons of this earthly delight

[Verse 2]
D G D
They died in their hundreds with no sign to mark where
D Bm G A
Save the brass in the pocket of the entrepreneur
G D G D
By landslide and rockblast they got buried so deep
D G A D
That in death if not life they'll have peace while they sleep
[Chorus]
D G D
Navigator, Navigator rise up and be strong
D Bm G A
The morning is here and there's work to be done
G D G D
Take your pick and your shovel and the bold dynamite
D G A D
For to shift a few tons of this earthly delight
D G A D
Yes to shift a few tons of this earthly delight

[Verse 3]
D G D
Their mark on this land is still seen and still laid
D Bm G A
The way for a commerce where vast fortunes were made
G D G D
The supply of an Empire where the sun never set
D G A D
Which is now deep in darkness, but the railway's there yet
[Chorus]
D G D
Navigator, Navigator rise up and be strong

The morning is here and there's work to be done
