[Verse]
Dm     C           G                  Dm     C           G
I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
    Gm    F        Bb   F          Gm      F         Gm
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
        Cm                   Eb                  F     Gm     Dm
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
      Gm   F           C     Dm          Gm   F    Am  Dm
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.

[Verse]
Dm     C           G                   Dm          C       G
I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
     Gm   F          Bb    F         Gm      F    Gm
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
    Cm             Eb                 F     Gm     Dm
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
        Gm    F             C     Dm             Gm F     Am Dm
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the seagulls crying.

[Verse]
Dm     C           G                  Dm      C     G
I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
       Gm     F           Bb      F             Gm            F        Gm
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;
    Cm             Eb                F        Gm     Dm
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow rover
    Gm    F           C     Dm             Gm   F       Am  Dm
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's o - ver.
