[F#m] Look lively lads, [Bm] haul on them ropes
[F#m] At last we’re [E] homeward [F#m] bound
[F#m] With a following wind we [B] have high hopes
[F#m] To be home ‘fore [E] Christmas-comes [F#m] ’round
CH: [Bm] Pray God fill the sail with a [F#m] favorable gale
[A] Give us fine fast running [E] seas
[F#m] And we’ll make it home for [Bm] Christmas boys
[F#m] To our wives and our [E] families. [F#m]
We’ve sailed across the seven seas
Such sights we all have seen
But now we long for our families
To tell them where we’ve been.
Around the world we all did roam
Many towns and many ports
But now at last we’re headed for home
And our wives are in our thoughts.
And in our last few ports of call
When we’ve had our runs ashore
We’ve sought out gifts for one and all
Who could ask for anything more.
