Old Maui

       Em         B7           G 
It's a damn tough life full of 
       D
toil and strife
   Em        B7   Em
We whalermen undergo.
       Em           B7            
And we won't give a damn when the 
G      D
gales are done
    Em       B7        Em
How hard the winds did blow.
          G                       
For we're homeward bound from the 
D
Arctic ground
       Em                  B7
With a good ship, taut and free.
       Em           B7           
And we won't give a damn when we 
G         D
drink our rum
         Em       B7    Em
With the girls of Old Maui.

[Chorus]
        G             D
Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys
        Em            B7
Rolling down to Old Maui.
      Em       B7             G  
We're homeward bound from the 
    D
Arctic ground,
        Em      B7    Em
Rolling down to Old Maui.

[Verse 2]
     Em      B7            G     
Once more we sail with the 
    D
northerly gale
            Em       B7       Em
Through the ice, and wind and rain.
     Em      B7         G        
Them coconut fronds and tropical 
D
shores
   Em         B7   Em
We soon shall see again.
        G                    D
For six hellish months we've passed 
away
       Em             B7
On the cold Kamchatka Sea.

Towards our island home.
    Em      B7        G     
Our whaling done, our mainmast

sprung,
       Em        B7     Em
And we ain't got far to roam.
    G                    D
Our stuns'l bones is carried away,
     Em               B7
What care we for that sound?

Thank God we're homeward bound.

[Verse 4]
    Em       B7               
How soft the breeze through the 
  G      D
island trees,
        Em     B7  Em
Now the ice is far astern.
     Em     B7          G        
Them native maids, them tropical 
D
glades
      Em      B7    Em
Is a-waiting our return.
     G                   D
Even now their big brown eyes look 
out
       Em               B7
Hoping some fine day to see
    Em    B7             G        
Our baggy sails runnin' 'fore the 
D
gales
        Em      B7    Em
Rolling down to old Maui.
