INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
             C                      G
It's been a long time since you've seen her
 C               Em         F
Could have been three years or more.
             C               G
Will she be waiting when we dock, boys
             F                  C
Or like the others will she be gone?


CHORUS:
      C                          G
It's one more pull boys, that'll do boys
 C          Em    F
Soon we'll draw alongside.
           C                 G
Hoist her upward, swing her inboard
         F                C
For the journey's nearly done.


VERSE:
             C              G
Well you're looking mighty smart, boy
 C                  Em      F
Dressed up in your number ones
                    C                  G
You've scrounged a new blade from the purser
               F                       C
To scrape the bum-fluff from off your chin.


CHORUS:
      C                          G
It's one more pull boys, that'll do boys
 C          Em    F
Soon we'll draw alongside.
           C                 G
Hoist her upward, swing her inboard
         F                C
For the journey's nearly done.


VERSE:
            C                   G
When we've fixed those bow and stern lines
            C        Em           F
And you've scuttled down the gangway
          C                   G
If she's waiting there, just kiss her
        F               C
Turn around, give us a smile.


CHORUS:
      C                          G
It's one more pull boys, that'll do boys
 C          Em    F
Soon we'll draw alongside.
           C                 G
Hoist her upward, swing her inboard
         F                C
For the journey's nearly done.


VERSE:
          C             G
Well, we too will go ashore soon
 C        Em                F
Get drunk in the clubs and bars,
              C                 G
Then stagger homeward, pockets empty
         F            C
Like so many times before.


CHORUS:
      C                          G
It's one more pull boys, that'll do boys
 C          Em    F
Soon we'll draw alongside.
           C                 G
Hoist her upward, swing her inboard
         F                C
For the journey's nearly done.


VERSE:
        C              G
Well a man may take a wife, boy
 C             Em     F
And a man may take a mistress,
       C              G
But a sailor has his ship, boys
         F                  C
And his mistress it is the sea.


CHORUS:
      C                          G
It's one more pull boys, that'll do boys
 C          Em    F
Soon we'll draw alongside.
           C                 G
Hoist her upward, swing her inboard
         F                C
For the journey's nearly done.


CHORUS:
      C                          G
It's one more pull boys, that'll do boys
 C          Em    F
Soon we'll draw alongside.
           C                 G
Hoist her upward, swing her inboard
         F              C
For the journey now is done.
