[Intro]
[Verse 1]
G C G
I've sailed upon the ocean wide
Em C
I've sailed the world around
G C G
I have sailed on barques and brigantines
C D G
From Lisbon to St John's
G C G
I've sailed upon the northern seas
Em C
sailed to where ocean foams
G C G
I have sailed where the ice floes thunder and roll
C D G
To bring the white coats home
[Chorus]
G C G
Wherever you may ramble
G Em
Wherever you may roam
G C G
Wherever you may be, you'll be happy to see
C Em
The foggy shores of home
C G
The foggy shores of home
[Verse 2]
G C G
I've sailed down to the South Sea Isles
Em C
I've sailed where the trade winds come
G C G
I have sailed on schooners listing low
C D G
To bring home 'backey and rum
G C G
I've sailed to the city of New York
Em C
And laboured in the sky
G C G
And high above the streets below
C D G
To home my heart would fly
[Chorus]
G C G
Wherever you may ramble
G Em
Wherever you may roam
G C G
Wherever you may be, you'll be happy to see
Em C
The foggy shores of home
Em G
The foggy shores of home
[Instrumental]
Am Em
[Verse 3]
G C G
One day I will sail back home
G Em
To my dear foggy shore
G C G
And I'll plough the grounds of my hometown
C D G
And go to sea no more
[Chorus]
G C G
Wherever you may ramble
G Em
Wherever you may roam
G C G
Wherever you may be, you'll be happy to see
C Em
The foggy shores of home
C Em
The Foggy shores of home
C D G
the foggy shores of home
