Rolling Down To Old Maui

       Dm         A             F
It's a damn tough life, full of 
        A          F          
toil and strife, we whaler-men 
C      Dm
undergo
       Dm           A             
And we don't give a damn when the 
F       A         F        C   
gale is done, how hard the 
      Dm
winds did blow
          Dm                      
For we're homeward bound from the 
C                    F           
Arctic ground with a good ship, 
        A
taut and free
       Dm           A            
And we won't give a damn when we 
F         A            F        
drink our rum with the girls of 
C      Dm
old Maui


[Chorus]
        F           C             
Rolling down to old Maui, me boys,
         Dm             A
 rolling down to old Maui
      Dm       A              F  
We're homeward bound from the 
    A               F       C     
Arctic ground, rolling down to old
 Dm
 Maui


[Verse 2]
     Dm      A             F     
Once more we sail with the 
    A                F       C   
northerly gale through the ice 
     Dm
and wind and rain
     Dm      A            F       
Them coconut fronds, them tropical
 A         F          C     Dm
 lands, we soon shall see again
    Dm                   C        
Six hellish months we've passed 
          F              A
away on the cold Kamchatka sea
    Dm        A              F   
But now we're bound from the 
   A               F       C      
Arctic ground, rolling down to old
 Dm
 Maui

[Chorus]
        F           C             
Rolling down to old Maui, me boys,
         Dm             A
 rolling down to old Maui
      Dm       A              F  
We're homeward bound from the 
    A               F       C     
Arctic ground, rolling down to old

 Maui


[Verse 3]
     Dm      A             F     
Once more we sail with the 
    A       F         C        
northerly gale, towards our island 
Dm
home
    Dm       A           F       
Our mainmast sprung, our whaling 
A         F        C         Dm
done, and we ain't got far to roam
    Dm                 C          
Our stu'n's'l booms is carried 
        F                 A
away, what care we for that sound?
  Dm     A       F     A         
A living gale is after us, thank 
F         C        Dm
God we're homeward bound!


[Chorus]
        F           C             
Rolling down to old Maui, me boys,
         Dm             A
 rolling down to old Maui
      Dm       A              F  
We're homeward bound from the 
    A               F       C     
Arctic ground, rolling down to old
 Dm
 Maui


[Verse 4]
     Dm      A                
How soft the breeze through the 
  F      A              F      C
island trees, now the ice is far
      Dm
 astern
     Dm      A          F        
Them native maids, them tropical 
A           F       C      Dm
glades, is awaiting our return
     Dm                  C        
Even now their big brown eyes look
             F                A
 out, hoping some fine day to see
    Dm        A           F       
Our baggy sails, running 'fore the
 A               F       C     Dm
 gales, rolling down to old Maui


[Chorus]
        F           C             
Rolling down to old Maui, me boys,
         Dm             A
 rolling down to old Maui
      Dm       A              F  
We're homeward bound from the 
    A               F       C     
Arctic ground, rolling down to old
 Dm
 Maui
        F           C             
Rolling down to old Maui, me boys,
         Dm             A
 rolling down to old Maui
      Dm       A              F  
We're homeward bound from the
