[Verse 1]
        Em           A
Oh I'll row with the waves 'till the numbness
Em                        A
Though the sea calls your voice is my compass
    D      A          G
I'm pulled out by the swell
         D  A      G
Put your ear to the shell
        Em              A
You can listen to my ocean song
    Em                  A7
I'm singing through the roughest storm


[Chorus]
            D        A               Bm
Oh when the wind's a-whipping at the big cut
A              D
Licking at the quay wall
A               Bm
We can feel the musterin' squall
A                   D
I wish that I could fly
   A          Bm
So I could be home and dry
   A                   D
Oh I wish that I could fly
   A          Bm
So I could be home and dry
    A          D A Bm A D A Bm A
And haul away!


[Verse 2]
        Em        A
I could stay here swing through the seasons
           Em         A
Look for a change here question my reasons
    D   A        G
now look and I'm leaving
        D          A      G
There's things are worth achieving
        Em         A
There's nets to be shot son
     Em           A7
I'm 'way with the flotsam


[Chorus]
            D        A               Bm
Oh when the wind's a-whipping at the big cut
A              D
Licking at the quay wall
A               Bm
We can feel the musterin' squall
A                   D
I wish that I could fly
   A          Bm
So I could be home and dry
   A                   D
Oh I wish that I could fly
   A          Bm
So I could be home and dry
    A          D A Bm A D A Bm A
And haul away!


[Verse 3]
        Em        A
There's sunsets bright as a furnace
        Em        A
But I'm not sure quite when my turn is
    D         A     G
I'm searching for a landmark
D      A   G
Gazing out through the dark
  Em        A
I need your reminding
         Em            A7
That the lighthouse is shining


[Chorus]
            D       A               Bm
Oh when the winds a-whipping at the big cut
A              D
Licking at the quay wall
A               Bm
We can feel the musterin' squall
   A                   D
Oh I wish that I could fly
   A          Bm
So I could be home and dry
   A                   D
Oh I wish that I could fly
   A          Bm
So I could be home and dry
   A                   D
Oh I wish that I could fly
   A          Bm
So I could be home and dry
   A                   D
Oh I wish that I could fly
   A          Bm
So I could be home and dry
    A         D A Bm A D
And haul away
