G              C         D
We set sail at half past four,
G              C    D
Looking for a new tomorrow
G                     C      D
Don't know when we're coming home
      G     N.C.
So we drink and we dance and we drown our sorrow
 
 
G     Em   C         D
Whey, hey, hey laddy hey
G        Em            C         D     G
Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away

G                           C       D
Now I don't know what there lies in store
         G                        C       D
But it's better than this, that's why I'm willing
   G                   C       D
To stake my claim on a foreign shore
        G      N.C.
With me spoons and me fiddle and half a shilling
 
 
G     Em   C         D
Whey, hey, hey laddy hey
G        Em            C         D     G
Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away

        G                    C         D
They've dreamt a place and I know it's true
          G                      C      D
Where the dolphins play and it's always sunny
     G                      C     D
The girls are brown and the ocean blue
     G    N.C.
Less work to do but you make more money
 
 
G     Em   C         D
Whey, hey, hey laddy hey
G        Em            C         D     G
Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away

  G              C         D
I must be off by morning's light,
      G                C       D
I can hear our bosun's whistle blowin'
G                 C        D
One more kiss and one more fight
    G   N.C.
And one more song while the beer is flowing
 
 
G     Em   C         D
Whey, hey, hey laddy hey
G        Em            C         D     G
Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away
 
Hey!

---- (slower) ----
         G                C      D
When the sky is grey look out to sea
         G                      C        D
When the waves are high and the light is dying
     G                 C        D
Well raise a glass and think of me
 
---- (Speed comes back) ----
         G               C       D
When I'm home again boys I'll be buying
 
 
G     Em   C         D
Whey, hey, hey laddy hey
G        Em            C         D     G
Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away

Whey, hey, hey laddy hey
G        Em            C         D     G
Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away

Whey, hey, hey laddy hey
Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away
