[Intro 1]
[C][F][Bb][F][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
It's [C]busk ye, me boy's,
get you up on [G]the deck
And take up your stations
for hauling the [F]nets
And [C]mind up all together lads
all [F]through the night
And shak[C]ing your oilskins
un[F]til [G]it's daylight
With a [C]heave and a haul
[F]and the shaking [G]of nets

[Verse 2]
It's [C]when we're at hauling
we're living on [G]hope
The boy in the locker the lads
[F]on the ropes
[C]The fellows in the hold to
our [F]hauling the nets
And [C]shaking the herring
out on [G]to the deck
With a [C]heave and a haul
and the shak[G]ing of nets

[Verse 3]
It's net [C]af ter net we
pull up from [G]the sea
With a haul and a shake and a one,
two [F]and three
The [C]herring are a piling
[F]around our sea boots
And [C]slithering and sliding
down [F]into [G]the shoots
With a [C]heave and a haul
[F]and the shaking [G]of nets

[Verse 4]
[G]
It's [C]hour after hour we are hauling [G]away
All through the long night till
the dawn of the [F]day
The cap[C]tain's in the wheelhouse
he's [F]on the RT
And [C]the cook's in the galley
[F]a brewing [G]the tea
And we're [C]heaving and hauling
[F]and shaking [G]of nets

[Verse 5]
Now the sea[C]son is over
so be on your [G]way
And head for the home port
to sign for [F]your pay
[C]Your missus will be waiting
to [F]welcome you home
It's so [C]hard for a wife to
be so [G]much alone
And you're fin[C]ished with
heaving and [F]hauling of [G]nets.
