This old sea shanty came into tiktok and took it by storm, didn't it? The version I am playing now has the easy chords, but I am happy to provide the original chords if you would like those too. Just let me know in the comments
Here’s a little history
"Soon May the Wellerman Come", also known as "Wellerman" [c. 1860–70] is a sea shanty. The song refers to the "wellermen", supply ships owned by the British Weller brothers who emigrated to New Zealand. In the early 2020s, versions by British folk music group the Longest Johns and Scottish singer Nathan Evans became viral hits on the social media site TikTok, leading to a "social media craze" around songs popularly considered sea shanties
