It's a damn tough [Em] life full of toil and strife we whalermen undergo
And we don't give an ammo when the day is done how hard the winds did blow
[G] Cause we're homeward bound [D] from the Arctic ground [Em] with a good ship taut [B] and free
And [Em] we don't give an ammo when we drink our rum with girls of Old Maui
[G] Rolling down to [D] Old Maui, me boys [Em] rolling down to [B] Old Maui
[Em] We're homeward bound from the [G] Arctic ground rolling down to Old [Em] Maui
Once more [Bm] we sail with an orderly gale [C]
[D] towards our [Em] island's home
Our main [Bm] mast's broke, our whaling's done and [C] we ain't [D] got far [Em] to roam
[D] Still [G] it's hellish months [D] we passed away [Em] what a cold calf [B] shard to see
But [Em] now we're bound from the Arctic [B] [C] ground rolling [D] down to Old [Em] Maui
[G] Rolling down to [D] Old Maui, me boys [Em] rolling down to [B] Old Maui
We're homeward bound from the Arctic [C] ground rolling down [D] to [E] Old Maui
Once more [B] we [Bm] sail with an orderly gale [C] through the ice [D] and wind [Em] and rain
The current of us, the [Bm] dropping of us [G] we still [D] should [Em] see again
[D]
[G] Even now the big [D] round eyes of kelp pop [Em] and stop by [B] day to see
Our ganky [Em] sail's running for the gale rolling down to Old Maui
[G] Rolling down to [D] Old Maui, me boys [Em] rolling down to [B] Old Maui
[C#m] We're [Bm] homeward bound [Em] from the [B] Arctic ground [C] rolling [D] down to [E] Old Maui

House [Bm] of the priest, the island trees, now the ice is far astern
Their native maize, their tropical glades [G#] is awaiting [D] our [E] return
I [G] will run and roar [D] and talk short [Em] and paint them [B] beaches red
I'm a wiccan [Bm] in the arms of a wahgi maid [C] with a big [D] fat [Em] aching [G] head
Rolling down to [D] Old Maui, me boys [Em] rolling down to [B] Old Maui
