DGD
Oh, I thought I heard the old man say,
AD
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
GDGD
It's a long hard pull to the next payday,
DAD
and It's time for us to leave her.
[Chorus]
AD
Leave her, Johnny, leave her,
GD
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her.
GDGBm
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow,
DAD
and it's time for us to leave her.
DGD
Now the winds were foul and the work was hard,
AD
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
GDGD
From the Liverpool docks to the London yard,
DAD
and It's time for us to leave her.
[Chorus]
AD
Leave her, Johnny, leave her,
GD
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her.
GDGBm
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow,
DAD
and it's time for us to leave her.
DGD
Now the skipper was bad but the mate was worse,
AD
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
GDGD
He would cut you down with a swipe and a curse,
DAD
and it's time for us to leave her.
[Chorus]
AD
Leave her, Johnny, leave her,
GD
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her.
GDGBm
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow,
DAD
and it's time for us to leave her.
DGD
Now it was rotten meat and moldy bread,
AD
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
GDGD
You would eat it or you would starve to death,
DAD
And it's time for us to leave her.
[Chorus]
AD
Leave her, Johnny, leave her,
GD
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her.
GDGBm
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow,
DAD
and it's time for us to leave her.
DGD
Now it's time for us to say farewell,
AD
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
GDGD
For now those pumps are all pumped dry,
DAD
And it's time for us to leave her.
[Chorus]
AD
Leave her, Johnny, leave her,
GD
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her.
GDGBm
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow,
DAD
and it's time for us to leave her.
