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 
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
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
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 morinng's light
      G                C       D
I can hear our bosun's whistle blowin 
G                 C        D
One more kiss and one more fight 
    G
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!

         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 

         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

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 
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
