[Intro 1]
[C][F][Bb][F][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
It's [C]busking me boys,
get you up on the [G]deck
And take up your stations
for hauling [F]the nets
And [C]mind you, pull together lads
all [F]through the night
And shake [C]in your oil skins
un[F]til [G]it's daylight
With a [C]heave and a haul
and the [F]shaking [G]of the nets
It's [C]when we're at hauling
we're living on [G]hope
The boy in the locker,
the lads [F]on the ropes
The [C]fellas in the hole
to our [F]hauling the nets
And [C]shaking the herring
out on[G]to the deck
With a [C]heave and a haul
and the shaking [G]of the nets
It's net [C]af ter net
we pull up from the [G]sea
With a haul and a shake
and a one, two and [F]three
The [C]herring are a -piling
[F]around our sea boots
And [C]slithering and sliding
down [F]into [G]the chutes
With a [C]heave and a haul
and a [F]shaking [G]of the nets
It's [C]hour after hour
we are hauling [G]away
All through the long night
till the dawn of the [F]day
The cap[C]tain's in the wheelhouse,
[F]he's on the R .T.
And the [C]cook's in the galley
a [F]-brewin' the [G]tea
And we're [C]heaving and hauling
and [F]shaking of [G]nets
Now the [C]season is over
so be on your [G]way
And head for the home port
to sign for [F]your pay
Your [C]missus will be waiting
to [F]welcome you home
It's so [C]hard for a wife
to be so [G]much alone
And you're [C]finished with heaving
and [F]hauling of [G]nets
