Verse
        E                          A        
Oh I hear the fifes a playin' high above the misty headlines.
        E                             F#m            B
A-hum the drums are drummin' down the long and briny shore.
        E                                 A     
My heart knows what they're sayin' get in step and follow me boy.
        E                                   B                 E
It's a song that they've been singin' for a thousand years or more.

Chorus
       E                      A    
Oh the rollin' of the sea, is beckonin' to me.
       E                                        F#m        B
I say come my son, I'll show you things, you've never seen before.
       E                          A
Come set your spirit free, on the winds of history.
E                                                     B
Hoist your sails, and charge a course, and go out and explore.
       E                      A
Oh the rollin' of the sea, is beckonin' to me.
E                                  B   E 
Come home to Newfoundland and Labrador-or.

Bridge
          A             E          F#m           A
Well I've always been a rover, I'd never settled down.
  A                        E         F#m            B
I searched the whole world over, for things I never found.
      A              E              F#m               A
Now I hear the ocean callin' with a voice so loud and strong.
E               A             A            B   E
Come on back to Newfoundland, that's where you belong.
