[Intro]
G  D7    G
[Verse]
You're a D7dirty, hungry, scaly bag of GtimbersG7  
And you've Cseen the last of your deep water Ddays
I have, D7too
But I'd Clike to cut us free, and we'd go astray toGgether
And we'd Amtry that last long CvoyageD7  
Me and GyouD7  G  
[Verse]
Young men D7aren't worth the trouble anyGmore
They'd have you Amthink a man that liked his home
Was nothing but a Dfool
And they Cdress up and they go and leave the only thing they ever Ghad
And if I Amever could beClieve that it was D7worth it
I'd go Gtoo
[Verse]
But I'd D7just as soon be here as someplace Gthere
I don't Amneed many thingsD  
Little D7coffee, little rumG  G7  
I can Clie here in the cove with those little stars aGbove me
Hear that Amwind running Ceasy D7down the Gbay
[Bridge]
Go aCway, go aGway
They Dtell me that it's Ctime to go aGway
[Verse]
But you're a D7dirty, hungry, scaly bag of GtimbersG7  
And you've Cseen the last of your deep water Ddays
I have, D7too
But by Cgod, I'd like to cut us free, and we'd go astray toGgether
And we'd Amtry that last long CvoyageD7  
Me and Gyou
[Verse]
But there's D7snow on my shoes and on my Ghead
And there's Amsnow on that hungry northern GwindG7  
And you Ctake a look around you, all your rambling friends are Gdead
And I Amguess it won't be Clong before the D7day comes
We go, GtooD7  G

[Intro]

G D7 G

[Verse]

D7 G G7

You're a dirty, hungry, scaly bag of timbers

C D

And you've seen the last of your deep water days

I have, too

C G

But I'd like to cut us free, and we'd go astray together

Am C D7

And we'd try that last long voyage

G D7 G

Me and you

[Verse]

D7 G

Young men aren't worth the trouble anymore

They'd have you think a man that liked his home

Was nothing but a fool

C G

And they dress up and they go and leave the only thing they ever had

Am C D7

And if I ever could believe that it was worth it

I'd go too

[Verse]

D7 G

But I'd just as soon be here as someplace there

Am D

I don't need many things

D7 G G7

Little coffee, little rum

C G

I can lie here in the cove with those little stars above me

Am C D7 G

Hear that wind running easy down the bay

[Bridge]

C G

Go away, go away

D C G

They tell me that it's time to go away

[Verse]

D7 G G7

But you're a dirty, hungry, scaly bag of timbers

C D

And you've seen the last of your deep water days

I have, too

C G

But by god, I'd like to cut us free, and we'd go astray together

Am C D7

And we'd try that last long voyage

Me and you

[Verse]

D7 G

But there's snow on my shoes and on my head

Am G G7

And there's snow on that hungry northern wind

C G

And you take a look around you, all your rambling friends are dead

Am C D7

And I guess it won't be long before the day comes

G D7 G

We go, too
