Drunken Sailor (What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor) is one of the most famous and rousing sea shanties in the Anglophone maritime tradition. Sung by sailors since the 19th century to set the rhythm for their work on board, this piece with its relentless beat and instantly recognizable chorus has become a global classic. Revitalized by the sea shanty craze on TikTok in 2021, it is now captivating a new generation of folk and traditional music enthusiasts. Its raw energy and festive character make it an ideal piece for the accordion. This level 4/5 sheet music offers a stimulating technical challenge for advanced accordionists who wish to fully capture the power of this sea shanty.
Note for accordion sheet music only:
Our sheet music does not include fingering indications in order to suit all types of keyboards. It is compatible with all non-diatonic accordions on the right hand, whether a C system button keyboard, a piano keyboard or any other chromatic system.
For the left hand, the sheet music uses the Stradella bass system, with fundamental basses and chords grouped by button (major, minor, seventh), a standard system found on the vast majority of accordions worldwide.
