Sing [Am] ho! for a brave and a gallant ship
And a fast and a favoring [C] breeze
With a [Am] bully good crew and a captain [C] too
To [Am] carry me over the [C] seas
To [Am] carry me over the seas, me boys
To my true love far a-[C]way
I'm [Am] taking a trip on a [Am] government ship
Ten [Em] thousand [C] miles a-[Am]way
So [Am] blow ye winds and blow
And a roving I will [Em] go
I'll [G] stay no more on [D] this old shore
And hear that fiddler [C] play
I'm [Am] off on a bounding main
And I won't be back a-[Em]gain
I'm [G] taking a trip on a [D] government ship
Ten [C] thousand miles a-[Am]way [Em] [Am]

And the big ship left the [C] bay
Fair [D] well said she, be [Am] good to me Yuri

It's [Am] been at least a hundred days
Since I last saw me [C] Meg
She had a [Am] government band around one hand
And another one 'round her [C] leg
And [Am] another one 'round her leg, me boys
And the big ship left the [C] bay
I [Am] swore that I'd be true to her
Ten [Em] thousand [C] miles a-[Am]way
So [Am] blow ye winds and blow
And a roving I will [Em] go
I'll [G] stay no more on [D] this old shore

Oh, I [Am] wish I was a bosun bold
Or a sailor without [C] fear
I'd [Am] build me a boat and away I'd float
And straight to me true love [C] steer
And [Am] straight to me true love steer, me boys
Where the dancin' dolphins [C] play
Where the [Am] whales and sharks are [Am] having their larks
Ten [Em] thousand [C] miles a-[Am]way
So [Am] blow ye winds and blow
And a roving I will [Em] go
I'll [G] stay no more on [D] this old shore

Well, the [Am] sun will shine through the London fog
Or the water running [C] clear
Or the [Am] ocean brine turn into wine
Or I'll forget me [C] beer
Or I'll for-[Am] get me beer, me boys
On the landlord's quarter-[C]pay
But I'll [Am] won't forget me own true love
