[Intro]
A G D A
G D A

[Verse 1]
D A G D
Cruel were my parents, to tear my love from me
A Bm G D
Cruel was the pressgang that took him to the sea
D Bm G A
Cruel was the little boat that rowed him off the strand
Bm G D A
And cruel was the big ship, that took him from the land

[Chorus]
G D A
Haul away, boys, haul away
G D A
Haul away, boys, haul away

[Verse 2]
D A G D
Cruel was the water, that ship it sailed upon
A Bm G D
Cruel was the fair wind, for now my loves he's gone
D Bm G A
Had you blown a roaring gale they'd have left him on dry land
Bm G D A
Where he would walk besides me and I would hold his hand

[Chorus]
G D A
Haul away, boys, haul away
G D A
Haul away, boys, haul away

[Verse 3]
D A G D
The ring beneath my pillow, is the ring he gave to me
A Bm G D
I'll wear it on my finger, for all the world to see
D Bm G A
But cruel was the captain, the bo'sun, and the men
Bm G D A
For they didn't give a farthing if I saw my love again

[Chorus]
G D A
Haul away, boys, haul away
G D A
Haul away, boys, haul away

[Verse 4]
D A G D
Cruel were my parents, to tear my love from me
A Bm G D
Cruel was the pressgang that took him to the sea
D Bm G A
Cruel was the little boat that rowed him off the strand
Bm G D A
And cruel was the big ship, that took him from the land

[Chorus]
G D A
Haul away, boys, haul away
G D A
Haul away, boys, haul away
G D A
Haul away, boys, haul away
G D A
Haul away, boys, haul away
