Capo: 1 Tuning: E A D G B E

Note: this cover of the song was done a cappella. The chords for the chorus were derived from the vocal harmonies heard in the chorus and the chords for the verses were "extrapolated" from that to sound appropriate. Capo 1 [Verse 1]

It's a ^Dmdamn tough ^Alife full of ^Dmtoil and ^Astrife we ^Bbwhaler-men ^Cunder^Dmgo And we ^Dmdon't give a ^Adamn when the ^Dmgale is ^Adone how ^Bbhard the ^Cwinds did ^Dmblow 'Cause we're ^Fhomeward bound from the ^CArctic ground with a ^Bbgood ship, taut and ^Afree And we ^Dmwon't give a ^Adamn when we ^Dmdrink our ^Arum with the ^Bbgirls of ^Cold Mau^Dmi

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

Once ^Dmmore we ^Asail with the ^Dmnortherly ^Agale through the ^Bbice and ^Cwind and ^Dmrain Them ^Dmcoconut ^Afronds, them ^Dmtropical ^Alands, we ^Bbsoon shall ^Csee a^Dmgain Six ^Fhellish months we've ^Cpassed away on the ^Bbcold Kamchatka ^ASea But ^Dmnow we're ^Abound from the ^DmArctic ^Aground, rollin' ^Bbdown to ^Cold Mau^Dmi

[Chorus]

Rollin' ^Fdown to old Mau^Ci, me boys, rollin' ^Dmdown to old Mau^Ai We're ^Dmhomeward ^Abound from the ^DmArctic ^Aground, rollin' ^Bbdown to ^Cold Mau^Dmi

[Verse 3]

Once ^Dmmore we ^Asail with the ^Dmnortherly ^Agale to^Bbwards our ^Cisland ^Dmhome Our ^Dmmainmast ^Asprung, our ^Dmwhalin' ^Adone, and we ^Bbain't got ^Cfar to ^Dmroam Our ^Fstuns'l bones is ^Ccarried away, what ^Bbcare we for that ^Asound? A ^Dmliving ^Agale is ^Dmafter ^Aus, thank ^BbGod we're ^Chomeward ^Dmbound!

[Chorus]

Rollin' ^Fdown to old Mau^Ci, me boys, rollin' ^Dmdown to old Mau^Ai We're ^Dmhomeward ^Abound from the ^DmArctic ^Aground, rollin' ^Bbdown to ^Cold Mau^Dmi

[Verse 4]

How ^Dmsoft the ^Abreeze through the ^Dmisland ^Atrees now the ^Bbice is ^Cfar as^Dmtern Them ^Dmnative ^Amaids, them ^Dmtropical ^Aglades, is a^Bbwaiting ^Cour re^Dmturn Even ^Fnow their big brown ^Ceyes look out hoping ^Bbsome fine day to ^Asee Our ^Dmbaggy ^Asails running '^Dmfore the ^Agales rollin' ^Bbdown to ^Cold Mau^Dmi

[Chorus]

Rollin' ^Fdown to old Mau^Ci, me boys, rollin' ^Dmdown to old Mau^Ai We're ^Dmhomeward ^Abound from the ^DmArctic ^Aground, rollin' ^Bbdown to ^Cold Mau^Dmi Rollin' ^Fdown to old Mau^Ci, me boys, rollin' ^Dmdown to old Mau^Ai We're ^Dmhomeward ^Abound from the ^DmArctic ^Aground, rollin' ^Bbdown to ^Amold Mau^Dmi
