Rolling Down To Old Maui Cifras

[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
