Em B7
It's a damn tough life full
G D
of toil and strife
Em B7 Em
We whalermen undergo.

And we won't give a damn when
G D
the gales are done
Em B7 Em
How hard the winds did blow.
G
For we're homeward bound
D
from the Arctic ground
Em B7
With a good ship, taut and free.
Em B7
And we won't give a damn when
G D
we drink our rum
Em B7 Em
With the girls of Old Maui.
[Chorus]
G D
Rolling down to Old Maui,
me boys

Rolling down to Old Maui.

We're homeward bound from

the Arctic ground,

Rolling down to Old Maui.
[Verse 2]
Em B7
Once more we sail with
G D
the northerly gale
Em
Through the ice,
B7 Em
and wind and rain.
B7
Them coconut fronds
G D
and tropical shores
Em B7 Em
We soon shall see again.
G
For six hellish months
D
we've passed away
Em B7
On the cold Kamchatka Sea.
Em B7
But now we're bound from
G D
the Arctic ground
Em B7 Em
Rolling down to Old Maui.
