[Verse 1]
Dm A F A F C Dm It's a damn tough life, full of toil and strife, we whaler-men undergo Dm A F A F C Dm And we don't give a damn when the gale is done, how hard the winds did blow F C Dm A For we're homeward bound from the Arctic ground with a good ship, taut and free Dm A F A F C Dm And we won't give a damn when we drink our rum with the girls of old Maui
[Chorus]
F C Dm A Rolling down to old Maui, me boys, rolling down to old Maui Dm A F A F C Dm We're homeward bound from the Arctic ground, rolling down to old Maui
[Verse 2]
Dm A F A F C Dm Once more we sail with the northerly gale through the ice and wind and rain Dm A F A F C Dm Them coconut fronds, them tropical lands, we soon shall see again F C Dm A Six hellish months we've passed away on the cold Kamchatka sea Dm A F A F C Dm But now we're bound from the Arctic ground, rolling down to old Maui
[Chorus]
F C Dm A Rolling down to old Maui, me boys, rolling down to old Maui Dm A F A F C Dm We're homeward bound from the Arctic ground, rolling down to old Maui
[Verse 3]
Dm A F A F C Dm Once more we sail with the northerly gale, towards our island home Dm A F A F C Dm Our mainmast sprung, our whaling done, and we ain't got far to roam F C Dm A Our stu'n's'l booms is carried away, what care we for that sound? Dm A F A F C Dm A living gale is after us, thank God we're homeward bound!
[Chorus]
F C Dm A Rolling down to old Maui, me boys, rolling down to old Maui Dm A F A F C Dm We're homeward bound from the Arctic ground, rolling down to old Maui
[Verse 4]
Dm A F A F C Dm How soft the breeze through the island trees, now the ice is far astern Dm A F A F C Dm Them native maids, them tropical glades, is awaiting our return F C Dm A Even now their big brown eyes look out, hoping some fine day to see Dm A F A F C Dm Our baggy sails, running 'fore the gales, rolling down to old Maui
[Chorus]
F C Dm A Rolling down to old Maui, me boys, rolling down to old Maui Dm A F A F C Dm We're homeward bound from the Arctic ground, rolling down to old Maui F C Dm A Rolling down to old Maui, me boys, rolling down to old Maui Dm A F A F C Dm We're homeward bound from the Arctic ground, rolling down to old Maui
