_ _ [Ebm] _ _ A _ _ shantyman's life _ [Db] is a _ weary [Ebm] someone

Transported as we are [Db] from a lady [Ebm] so fair
To the banks [Db] of some _ lonely _ [Ebm]

And [Ebm] disturb _ [B] our _ _ [Ebm] nightly dreams
_ _ _ _ Oh, _ sleeping at night [Db] in our bunks without [Ebm] cheer
While the _ cold [Db] winter winds [Fm] do [Ebm] blow
_ _ But _ _ [Bb] as soon [Ebm] as the morning star does [Db] appear
To [Eb] the _ wild [B] woods we [Eb] must go
_ _ _ _ Had we ale, wine or [Ebm] beer, [Db] our spirits far [Ab] to [Ebm] cheer
When we're in [Db] those woods so [Ebm] _
wild
_ _ _ Where [Bb] a glass of whiskey [Ebm] shone while we're in the woods [Db] alone
For to [Eb] pass away [B] our long _ [Ebm] _ exile
