[Intro]
Dm C Bb F Gm

[Verse]
Dm C Gm
Row my child, to the bird rock
F Gm
Where the gulls are sailing free
Dm Bb C
Dreams they do bring, and dreaming
Am Bb Dm
Dreams of the cold green sea

[Verse]
F Am Dm C
And who would be there, but you love
Bb C Bb
To see what dreams there be?
F C Bb
Ho-ray, ho-ro, oh, hoo-ro

[Instrumental]
Dm C Bb F Gm

[Verse]
Dm C Gm
Row you now, be rowing
F Gm
The day goes down before
Dm Bb C
And the ship of fairies sailing
Am Bb Dm
To a dark and a distant shore

[Verse]
F Am Dm C
And how would you say what treasures
Bb C Bb
Would ever await them there?
F C Bb
Ho-ray, ho-ro, oh, hoo-ro

[Instrumental]
Dm C Bb F Gm

[Verse]
Dm C Gm
Sing my love, for the kingdom
F Gm
That ever we thought was gone
Dm Bb C
For the ship of ghosts is sailing
Am Bb Dm
And that one will always return

[Verse]
F Am Dm C
Drowned are the lands and gone the sails
Bb C Bb
And the gull is their voice alone
F C Bb
Ho-ray, ho-ro, oh, hoo-ro

[Instrumental]
Dm C Bb F Gm

[Verse]
Dm C Gm
Row my dear, the day is fair
F Gm
Where the young birds learn to sing
Dm Bb C
The world is a wheel of wonder
Am Bb Dm
That only the sun can spin

[Verse]
F Am Dm C
And the gull on the low and lifting swell
Bb C Bb
Is the world a-given wing
F C Bb Dm C Bb
Ho-ray, ho-ro, oh, hoo-ro
F C Bb
Der hvor alle moker ar
