Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
I [D]thought I
heard the old man say:
[A]"Leave her, [Asus4]Johnny, l[D]eave her"
It's a [G]long,
hard [D]pull to the [A]next pay[D]day
And it's time for us to leave her

[Verse 2]
The skipper was bad [D]and the
mate was worse
[A]Leave her, Johnny, [D]leave her
He would [G]knock [D]you down with a
[Asus4]spike and[D] a curse
And it's time for [Asus4]us
to leave [D]her
[A][D]

[Verse 3]
Oh, the winds were foul
and the work was hard
[A]Leave her, Johnny, [D]leave her
From the [G]Liverpool [D]Docks
to the [A]London Yard
[D]And it's time for us to [Asus4]leave her[D]
[A]Leave her,

[Verse 4]
Johnny, [D]leave her
Oh, [G]leave her, Johnny, leave [D]her
For the [G]voyage is [D]done and the
[A]winds don't [D]blow
And it's time for us to [Asus4]leave
[D]her
[A]

[Verse 5]
[D]
Oh, there was rotten meat
and a moldy bread
[A]Leave her, Johnny, [D]leave her
But you'd [G]eat it [D]or
[A]you'd starve to [D]death
And it's time for us to leave her

[Verse 6]
And I [D]pray that I may never receive
[A]Leave her, Johnny, [D]leave her
Oh, a [G]hungry [D]ship the [A]likes of she
[D]And it's time for us to leave her
[A]Leave her, Johnny,

[Verse 7]
[D]leave her
Oh, [G]leave her, Johnny, leave [D]her
For the [G]voyage is [D]done and the
[A]winds don't [D]blow

[Interlude 1]
And it's time for us to leave her
[D][A]
[D][G][D][A][D]
[A][D][G][D][A][D]
[A]Leave her, Johnny,

[Verse 8]
[D]leave her
Oh, [G]leave her, Johnny, [D]leave her
For the [G]voyage is [D]done and the
[A]winds don't [D]blow
And it's time for us to [A]leave [D]her

[Verse 9]
Now's [D]the time to say goodbye
[A]Leave her, Johnny, [D]leave her
Oh, them [G]grunts, they [D]are all long [A]bone dry
[D]And it's time for us to leave her

[Verse 10]
[A]Leave her, Johnny, [D]leave her
Oh, [G]leave her, Johnny, leave [D]her
For the [G]voyage is [D]done and the
[A]winds don't [D]blow
And it's time for us
[A]To leave her,

[Verse 11]
Johnny, [D]leave her
Oh, [G]leave her, Johnny, leave [D]her
For the [G]voyage is [D]done and the
[A]winds don't [D]blow
And it's time for us to [A]leave [D]her
