Capo 1
[Verse]
D
I thought I heard the old man say
A D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Bm G
Tomorrow you will get your pay
A D
And it's time for us to leave her
[Chorus]
A D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Bm G
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
Bm G
For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
A D
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse]
D
Oh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high
A D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Bm G
She shipped it green and none went by
A D
And it's time for us to leave her
[Chorus]
A D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Bm G
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
Bm G
For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
A D
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse]
D
I hate to sail on this rotten tub
A D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Bm G
No grog allowed and rotten grub
A D
And it's time for us to leave her
[Chorus]
A D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Bm G
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
Bm G
For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
A D
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse]
D
We swear by the rote for want of more
A D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Bm G
But now we're through so we'll go on shore
A D
And it's time for us to leave her
[Chorus]
A D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Bm G
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
Bm G
For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
A D
And it's time for us to leave her
