[VERSE 1]
[G]A crew of rowdy sailors
were t[C]elling tall tales
St[D]ories of women, monsters
and places they had sai[G]led
[G]One Said you all know boys
I've s[C]een the whold damn world
I th[D]ink it's time that I go home
and see my darling g[G]irl
[G]Once the cargos loaded
[C]and we're on the ebbing tide
[D]we'll set out to sea again
and on the wind we'll r[G]ide
[G]The next ports my home port
[C]Where the Swallows come in flocks
[D]I've been waiting a lifetime
To kiss my baby on the d[G]ock

[VERSE 2]
[G]Five days out at sea
[C]It was storming pretty hard
[D]The sailor he climbed up the mast
and went out on the a[G]rm
[G]Ariving just in time
[C]as the stitching started to fail
[D]Pulling hard and bleeding some
as he furled in the s[G]ail
[G]The sailor was a strong man
[C]But still he lost his grip
[D]Falling through the darkness
Hit the deck like a ton of b[G]ricks
[G]The crew all heard him yell out
[C]and they were all in shock
[D]He's been waiting a lifetime
To kiss his baby on the d[G]ock
[G] [C] [D] [D] [G]

[G]They layed him in the Focsole
[C]and waited for the news
[D]The sergeon sail I'm sorry son
There's nothing I can [G]do

[C]As he lifted his weary head
[D]The crew began to gather round
[D]and this is what he said

[G]Give my mother my wadges
[C]Jack can have my knife
[D]Sam you take my tars
When I give up my l[G]ife

[G]My new home is calling boys
[C]The gates have been unlocked
[D]My baby will be lonesome
waiting for me on the do[G]ck
[G]

Waiting for me on the do[G]ck
