[Verse 1]
Am After fourteen years I left the sea, for a life upon a lake Am E After all the storms I'd seen, I needed a good break Dm I thought still waters would mean peace for me Am But that was a mistake Am E Am For the place I chose was bedeviled by a giant evil drake
[Verse 2]
Am A mallard of such malice, twice the size of any man Am E A bill to give you nightmares and a monstrous wingspan Dm Am You cannot hope to fight it so avoid him if you can Am E Am That terrifying waterfowl, the beast beyond the dam
[Chorus]
Am Row-ho Row-ho Row with all our might Am E Row with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight Am Row-ho Row-ho and with any luck Dm Am E Am We'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck
[Verse 3]
Am I'm not one for surrender so a vengeful oath I swore Am E I gathered up me hearties like so many times before Dm Am We shod our ship with weapons and prepared to go to war Am E Am 'Til the fetid feathered fearsome flying duck will breathe no more
[Chorus]
Am Row-ho Row-ho Row with all our might Am E Row with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight Am Row-ho Row-ho and with any luck Dm Am E Am We'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck
[Verse 4]
Am There was bonnie brave Marie, who to her arms had waved goodbye Am E And handsome Jack whose duck-attack left him without an eye Dm Am The Derby twins with one leg each on deck were standing by Am E Am Only a couple dozen limbs between a crew of twenty-five
[Chorus]
Am Row-ho Row-ho Row with all our might Am E Row with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight Am Row-ho Row-ho and with any luck Dm Am E Am We'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck
[Verse 5]
Dm Am The fight raged on for several hours, defend and then attack Dm F E With beatings from those wicked wings our boat began to crack Dm F E The beast reared up to finish the job, and with a mighty quack...

A E A I rammed my harpoon in his throat and made a tasty snack
[Chorus]
A Row-ho Row-ho Row us back to shore A E We'll drag his broken body back and roast it on an oar A E Row-ho Row-ho barbecue the beast, with hoisin sauce and pancakes A We will have the biggest feast A Row-ho Row-ho Row with all our might A E We rowed with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight A Row-ho Row-ho Row we had all the luck E A We won the day and did away the dreaded Moby Duck E A We won the day and did away the dreaded Moby Duck!
