I thought I heard the old man say
A D
Leave her Johnny leave her
G D
Tomorrow ye well get your pay,
A D
and it's time for us to leave her
A A
Leave her Johnny leave her
G D
Ooh Leave her Johnny leave her
G D
For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
A D
And it's time for us to leave her
D
Oh the wind was foul an the sea ran high
A D
Leave her Johnny leave her
G D
She shipped it green an' none went by.
A D
And it's time for us to leave her
A A
Leave her Johnny leave her
G D
Ooh Leave her Johnny leave her
G D
For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
A D
And it's time for us to leave her
D
I hate to sail on this rotten tub,
A D
Leave her Johnny leave her
G
No grog allowed and rotten grub!
A D
And it's time for us to leave her
A A
Leave her Johnny leave her
G D
Ooh Leave her Johnny leave her
G D
For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
A D
And it's time for us to leave her
D
We swear by rote for want of more,
A A
Leave her Johnny leave her
G
But now we're through so we'll go on shore.
A D
And it's time for us to leave her
A A
Leave her Johnny leave her
G D
Ooh Leave her Johnny leave her
G D
For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
A D
And it's time for us to leave her
