Capo: 3rd fret
Intro: D G D A
[D]Ships may come and [G]ships may go
As l[A]ong as the sea does [D]roll
[D]Each sailor lad just lik[G]e his dad
He l[A]oves the flowing bow[D]l
[D]A trip ashore he[G] does adore
With a g[D]irl who's nice and [A]round

He'll buy some girl a gown.
But when
Chorus
When Jack gets old and weatherbeat,
Too old to roam about,
They'll let him stop in some rum shop
Till eight bells calls him out.
Then he'll raise his eyes up to the skies,
Sayin' ``Boys, we're homeward bound.''
But when
Chorus (x2)
