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.

Starbuck's sharpening his harpoon

The black man's playing his tune

An old salt's sleeping his watch away

He'll be drunk again before noon.

We found no whales in this sea
