Em D
Goodbye, little Robin-Marie
Em D
Don't try following me
Em D
Don't cry, little Robin-Marie
C C/B Am Em
'cause you know I'm coming home soon.
Em D
My ship's leaving on a three-year tour
Em D
The next tide will take us from shore
Em D
Windlaced, gather in sail and spray
C C/B Am Em
On a search for the mighty sperm whale
A E
Fly your willow branches
F#m C#
Wrap your body round my soul
D A G
Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets
A E
There are years behind us reaching
F#m D
to the place where hearts are beating
A D F#m
and I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet,
A D F#m
and I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet.

Em D
Starbuck's sharpening his harpoon
Em D
The black man's playing his tune
Em D
An old salt's sleeping his watch away
C C/B Am Em
He'll be drunk again before noon.

Three years sailing on bended knee

We found no whales in this sea
