1st Verse: It's a damn [Dm]tough [A]life full of [Dm]toil and [Am]strife We [Dm]whaler[Am]men u[Dm]ndergo. And we don't [A]give a [Dm]damn when the[Am] gale is stopped How [Bb]hard the [Am]winds [Dm]did blow. For [F]we're homeward [C]bound from the Arctic ground With [Dm]a good ship, [A]taut and free. And we [Dm]don't [A]give a damn [Dm]when [A7]we drink our rum With the[Dm] girls of [Am]Old [Dm]Maui.
Chorus: Rolling [F]down [C]to Old Maui, me boys Rolling [Bb]down to [A]Old Maui. We're[Dm] home[A]ward bound [Dm]from [Am]the Arctic ground, Rolling [Dm]down to [Am]Old [Dm]Maui.
2nd Verse: [Dm]Once [A]more we [Dm]sail with [Am]a northerly gale Through [Dm]the ice [Am]and wind [Dm]and rain. Them [A]coconut [Dm]fronds, them [Am]tropical lands We [Bb]soon [Am]shall s[Dm]ee again. Six [F]hellish mont[C]hs have passed away On [Dm]the cold Kam[A]chatka Sea. But [Dm]now [A]we're bound [Dm]from the [A7]Arctic ground Rolling [Dm]down to [Am]Old [Dm]Maui.
Chorus
3rd Verse: [Dm]Once [A]more we [Dm]sail with a [Am]northerly gale [Dm]Towards [Am]our island [Dm]home. Our main[A]mast sp[Dm]rung, our [Am]whaling done, And [Bb]we ain't [Am]got far [Dm]to roam. Our [F]stuns'l bon[C]es is carried away, What [Dm]care we for [A]that sound? A [Dm]living [A]gale is [Dm]after [A7]us, Thank [Dm]God [Am]we're home[Dm]ward bound.
Chorus Rolling [F]down [C]to Old Maui, me boys Rolling [Bb]down to [A]Old Maui. We're[Dm] home[A]ward bound [Dm]from [Am]the Arctic ground, Rolling [Dm]down to [Am]Old [Dm]Maui.
4th Verse: [Dm]How [A]soft the breeze [Dm]through [Am]the island trees, Now [Dm]the ice [Am]is far [Dm]astern. Them [A]native [Dm]maids, them [Am]tropical glades Are [Bb]a-waiting [Am]our [Dm]return. Even [F]now their [C]big brown eyes look out Hoping [Dm]some fine [A]day to see Our [Dm]baggy [A]sails runnin' '[Dm]fore [A7]the gales Rolling [Dm]down [Am]to old [Dm]Maui.
