[Chorus]
  G
[tab]                      D7
A home on the rolling deep,
Where the scattered waters rave,
                           G
And the winds their revels keep.

    D7                                     G
The winds The winds The winds their revels keep
[Verse]
        C             B7
Like an eagle caged I pine,

        C               B7
On this dull unchanging shore,

                        Em
Oh give me the flashing brine,

    G                     D7
The spray and the tempest roar!
[Chorus]
  G
A life on the ocean wave,

                      D7
A home on the rolling deep,
Where the scattered waters rave,
                           G
And the winds their revels keep.

    D7                                     G
The winds The winds The winds their revels keep
[Verse]
     G
Once more on the deck I stand,

                        D7
Of my own swift-gliding craft,
Set sail! Farewell to the land,
                     G
The gale follows far abaft.

   C                           B7
We shoot through the sparkling foam

        C              B7
Like an ocean bird set free,

                         Em
Like the ocean bird, our home

      G                   D7
We'll find far out on the sea.
[Chorus]
  G
A life on the ocean wave,

                      D7
A home on the rolling deep,
Where the scattered waters rave,
                           G
And the winds their revels keep.

    D7                                     G
The winds The winds The winds their revels keep
[Verse]
    G
The land is no longer in view,

                         D7
The clouds have begun to frown,
But with a stout vessel and crew
                               G
We'll say, "Let the storm come down!

         C                B7
And the song of our heart shall be,

          C                    B7
While the winds and the waters rave,

                   Em
A life on the heaving sea,

  G                    D7
A home on the bounding wave!
