[Intro]
A E D A D A E A
[Verse]
E A
The first boat I put out to sea
D A E
I didn't know where that boat was going
A
All I want was away from here
D A E A
And all I knew was keep on rowing
[Verse]
C#7 F#m
The first boat I took out to sea
D A E
I wouldn't have none to sail with me
D A D A
None to row and none to tow
D A E A
And none to stow my cargo down
[Instrumental]
D A D A D A E A
[Verse]
E A
When I come a rollin' through the calm
D A E
And all my guiding stars were gone
A
There was three old sailors by my helm
D A E A
Tell me I don't sail alone
[Verse]
C#7 F#m
One named Peter, one named Saul
D A E
And one don't claim no name at all
D A D A
One to sing and one to haul
D A E A
And one to heave me when I fall
[Verse]
C#7 F#m
When I stumble on the reef
D A E
I have three good sailors take my grief
D A D A
One to sail and one to bail
D A E A
And one to hold me when I wail
[Instrumental]
E A D A E
E A D A D A E A
C#7 F#m D A E
D A D A D A E A
[Verse]
E A
So when the wind comes stavin' more
D A E
I won't need to run for harbour
A
I don't need to reef and tack
D A E A
'Cause I don't need to bring her back
[Verse]
C#7 F#m
And fog and foul or fair and free
D A E
It's all the flamin' same to me
D A D A
'Cause all the good hands ever sail
D A E A
Are rollin' down my weather rail
[Instrumental]
D A D A D A E A
[Verse]
E A
And when I come for makin' land
D A E
I got three good sailors to my hand
A
One to stay and one to pray
D A E A
And one to lay this anchor down
[Verse]
C#7 F#m
And if I hoist my sail again
D A E
Come in sun or go in rain
D A D A
All the sailors in the sea
D A E A
Come hand and haul and steer with me
[Instrumental]
D A D A D A E A
[Verse]
D A D A
One to row and one to tow
D A E A
And one to ease me when I go
D A D A
One to row and one to tow

And one to heave me when I go
