《格陵兰捕鲸记》（Greenland Whale Fisheries）是一首传统的爱尔兰民谣，由The Pogues乐队重新演绎并收录在他们的专辑《Red Roses For Me》中。这首歌讲述了1846年一艘捕鲸船远赴格陵兰捕鲸的凄凉故事。歌词描述了船员们在冰冷的海面上艰苦劳作，最终却因鲸鱼的反抗而失去五名船员的遭遇。歌曲以一种朴实无华的语言，描绘了19世纪捕鲸业的残暴和船员们的艰辛与无奈。
歌曲表达了对逝者的悼念，对自然力量的敬畏，以及对生命的脆弱的感叹。歌中“brave boys”的反复涌现，既是对船员们的赞扬，也带着一丝讽刺和凄凉。格陵兰的荒凉景象，象征着希望的破灭和生命的无常。
吉他弹奏技巧：
这首歌的吉他部分非常简单，主要使用G, C, 和D三个和弦。节奏轻快，适合初学者练习。需要注意的是，intro和outro部分的[G]和弦需要快速扫弦，营造出一种急促和紧张的气氛。在演唱时，可以考试考试用略带沙哑的嗓音，更能表示出歌曲的沧桑感。 The Pogues的版本更偏向朋克化的处理，节奏更快，更有力量感，可以考试考试模仿乐队的演奏风格。
本乐谱主要基于The Pogues乐队的版本，可以作为吉他或贝斯学习的参考。

Greenland Whale Fisheries - as perfomed by The Pogues
Intro: [G][G][G][G] - strum quickly
[G] [G] [G] [G] [C] [C] [C] [C] [G] [G] [G] [G] [C] [D] [G] [G]
G D G In eighteen hundred and forty-six C G D On March the eighteenth day G C We hoisted our colors to the top of the mast G C D G D And for Greenland sailed away, brave boys G C D G And for Greenland sailed away
The lookout in the crosstrees stood With spyglass in his hand There's a whale, there's a whale And a whalefish he cried And she blows at every span, brave boys She blows at every span
The captain stood on the quarter deck The ice was in his eye Overhaul, overhaul! Let your gibsheets fall And you'll put your boats to sea, brave boys And you'll put your boats to sea
Our harpoon struck and the line played out With a single flourish of his tail He capsized the boat and we lost five men And we did not catch the whale, brave boys And we did not catch the whale
Break: repeat X 2 [G] [G] [G] [G] [C] [C] [C] [C] [G] [G] [G] [G] [C] [D] [G] [G]
The losing of those five jolly men It grieved the captain sore But the losing of that fine whalefish Now it grieved him ten times more, brave boys Now it grieved him ten times more
Now Greenland is a barren land A land that bares no green Where there's ice and snow, and the whalefishes blow And the daylight's seldom seen, brave boys And the daylight's seldom seen
Outro: repeat X 2 [G] [G] [G] [G] [C] [C] [C] [C] [G] [G] [G] [G] [C] [D] [G] [G]
