VERSE:
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
It's been a long time since you've seen her
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">Em</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
Could have been three years or more.
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
Will she be waiting when we dock, boys
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
Or like the others will she be gone?
CHORUS:
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
It's one more pull boys, that'll do boys
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">Em</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
Soon we'll draw alongside.
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
Hoist her upward, swing her inboard
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
For the journey's nearly done.
VERSE:
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
Well you're looking mighty smart, boy
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">Em</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
Dressed up in your number ones
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
You've scrounged a new blade from the purser
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
To scrape the bum-fluff from off your chin.
CHORUS:
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
It's one more pull boys, that'll do boys
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">Em</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
Soon we'll draw alongside.
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
Hoist her upward, swing her inboard
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
For the journey's nearly done.
VERSE:
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
When we've fixed those bow and stern lines
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">Em</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
And you've scuttled down the gangway
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
If she's waiting there, just kiss her
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
Turn around, give us a smile.
CHORUS:
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
It's one more pull boys, that'll do boys
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">Em</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
Soon we'll draw alongside.
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
Hoist her upward, swing her inboard
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
For the journey's nearly done.
VERSE:
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
Well, we too will go ashore soon
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">Em</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
Get drunk in the clubs and bars,
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
Then stagger homeward, pockets empty
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
Like so many times before.
CHORUS:
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
It's one more pull boys, that'll do boys
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">Em</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
Soon we'll draw alongside.
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
Hoist her upward, swing her inboard
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
For the journey's nearly done.
VERSE:
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
Well a man may take a wife, boy
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">Em</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
And a man may take a mistress,
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
But a sailor has his ship, boys
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
And his mistress it is the sea.
CHORUS:
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
It's one more pull boys, that'll do boys
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">Em</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
Soon we'll draw alongside.
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
Hoist her upward, swing her inboard
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
For the journey's nearly done.
CHORUS:
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
It's one more pull boys, that'll do boys
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">Em</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
Soon we'll draw alongside.
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
Hoist her upward, swing her inboard
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
For the journey now is done.
