[G] I'm sailing today, love, for the North [C] Fishing [G] Ground,
[Am] And while I'm [D] away, love, hear the old [G] fire sound. _
As we lay here _ together, our hearts are [C] [Em] entwined. _
[Am] Think of me [D] _ tomorrow, let me stay on [G] your [C] mind.
[G] For the sky, it is blue, love, and so is [C] the [G] sea. _
[Am] And the birds on [D] their wings, love, sing lonely [G] like me.
But soon I'll be with you, love, in a few days [C] or [Bm] _
[Am] so.
Through these rough-iron [D] sea waters, no [G] more will I [C] go.
[G] The children are sleeping, love, while I'm warm in [C] their [Bm] beds.
[Am] All stop and [D] all blest in love, touch their curly [G] _ heads.
These memories are hard to love, though a fisherman [C] like [Bm] me _
[Am] Makes me often [D] _ wonder why I [G] put out to [C] sea. _
[G] Your heart around me, love, for one more [C] [Bm] embrace. _
[Am] I'll gently [D] caress you, love, and [Am] kiss your [G] sweet face.
Although I must part now, take my beam off [C] the shore.
[Em] _ _
[Am] Meet me at [D] the _ dockside, when I sail on [G] once [C] more.
[G] For the sky, it is blue, love, and so is [C] the [Em] sea. _
[Am] And the birds on [D] their wings, love, sing lonely [G] like me.
But soon I'll be with you, love, in a few days [C] or [Bm] _
[Am] so.
Through these rough-iron [D] sea waters, no [G] more will I [C] go.
[G] For the sky, it is blue, love, and so is [C] the [G] _
[Am] sea.
And the birds on their [D] wings, love, sing lonely [G] like me.
But soon I'll be with you, love, in a few days [C] or [Bm] so.
[Am] Through these rough-iron [D] sea waters, no [G] more will I go.
