[Intro 1]
[Am][E][Am][E][Am][E][Am]
[E]It's

[Verse 1]
[F]a d[E]amn[F] to[E]ugh[Am] lif[E]e,
full of [F]toil and [E]strife,
[Dm]We w[E]halermen und[Am]ergo,
And we [E]won't give a damn
when the [Dm]gales are [E]done
How [Dm]hard the [E]winds did [Am]blow,
For we're homeward bound
from the [G]Arctic grounds
With a [F]good ship taut and [E]free,
And we won't [Dm]give a [G#dim]damn
when we [Am]drink our [F]rum
With the [E]girls from old [Am]Maui.

[Verse 2]
Rolling [Am]down to old [G]Maui, me boys,
Rolling [F]down to old [E]Maui,
We're [Dm]homeward [E]bound from
the [Am]Arctic [F]grounds,
Rolling down to [E]old [Am]Maui.
Once [Dm]more we [E]sail with the
[Dm]northerly [E]gales
Through the ice [Dm]and [E]wind and r[Am]ain,
Them [Dm]coconut [G#dim]fronds,
them [E]tropic[Dm]al sh[E]ores,
We soon [Dm]shall [E]see [Am]again;
Six hellish months we've [G]passed away
On the [F]cold Kamchatka [E]sea,
But now [Dm]we're [E]bound from the Arc[Dm]tic [E]grounds,
[Dm][E][Am]
Rolling down to old [G]Maui.
Once more we sail [F]with the Northerly gales,
[E]Towards [Dm]our isla[E]nd home,
[Am]Our whaling [F]done,
our mainmast [E]sprung,
[Am]And [E]we[Am][F][Cm][G#][Gm]
ain't got far [Cm]to roam;
[Gm]Our [Cm]stuns[G#]'l's bones is[Gm]
[Gsus4]carried a[Gm]way,[Cm]
[Gm]What [Cm]care [Gm]we f[Cm]or
[Gm]that [Cm]sound,
A living gale is after [Gm]us,
Thank [Cm]God we're
homeward [E]bound.

[Verse 3]
How [Dm]soft the [G#dim]breeze through
the [Am]island [F]trees,
[E]Now the ice is [G#dim]far aster[Am]n,[Dm]
Them native [E]maids,
[G#dim]them tropical [E]glad[Am]es,[F]
Is [E]awaiting [G#dim]our retur[Am]n;
Even now their big brown
[G]eyes look out,
Hoping [F]some fine day to [E]see,
[Dm]Our baggy [E]sails,
running 'fore [Dm]the [E]gales,[Am]
Rolling down to old Maui.

[Verse 4]
And now [G]we're anchored in the bay
With the [F]Kanaka's [E]all [Dm]arou[G#dim]nd
[Am]With chant[F]s and soft a[E]loha o[Am]is,
They [G]greet us homeward bound;
And [F]now ashore [E]we'll [Dm]have some[G#dim] fun,
[Dm][E][F][Dm][E][Am][Dm]
[E]We'll paint them [Am]beaches [E]red;
Awaken [F]in [E]the[Am] arms[F][Em][Am][F][Em][Am][F]
[Em]of a[Am]n isl[F]and[E] ma[Em]id[Am][F][Em]
[Am]With [F]a b[E]ig [Em]fat a[Am]chin[F]g head.[Em][Am][F][E]
