[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
    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

          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
