Verso 1: 
G 
A crew of rowdy sailors 
      C 
were telling tall tales 
  D 
Stories of women, monsters 
                       G 
and places they had sailed 
G 
One Said you all know boys 
      C 
I've seen the whold damn world 
    D 
I think it's time that I go home 
                    G 
and see my darling girl 
G 
Once the cargos loaded 
C 
and we're on the ebbing tide 
D 
we'll set out to sea again 
                       G 
and on the wind we'll ride 
G 
The next ports my home port 
C 
Where the Swallows come in flocks 
D 
I've been waiting a lifetime 
                        G 
To kiss my baby on the dock 

G C D D G 

Verso 2: 
G 
Five days out at sea 
C 
It was storming pretty hard 
D 
The sailor he climbed up the mast 
                     G 
and went out on the arm 
G 
Ariving just in time 
C 
as the stitching started to fail 
D 
Pulling hard and bleeding some 
                     G 
as he furled in the sail 
G 
The sailor was a strong man 
C 
But still he lost his grip 
D 
Falling through the darkness 
                            G 
Hit the deck like a ton of bricks 
G 
The crew all heard him yell out 
C 
and they were all in shock 
D 
He's been waiting a lifetime 
                         G 
To kiss his baby on the dock 
G C D D G 

Verso 3: 
G 
They layed him in the Focsole 
C 
and waited for the news 
D 
The sergeon sail I'm sorry son 
                      G 
There's nothing I can do 
G 
The Sailor said come closer 
C 
As he lifted his weary head 
D 
The crew began to gather round 
D 
and this is what he said 

(spoken) 
G 
Give my mother my wadges 
C 
Jack can have my knife 
D 
Sam you take my tars 
                   G 
When I give up my life 

(sung) 
G 
My new home is calling boys 
C 
The gates have been unlocked 
D 
My baby will be lonesome 
                        G 
waiting for me on the dock 
G 
D 
My Baby will be lonesome 
                        G 
Waiting for me on the dock 

Outro: G C D D G
