Em D

Goodbye, little Robin-Marie

Em D

Don't try following me

Em D

Don't cry, little Robin-Marie

C C/B Am Em

'cause you know I'm coming home soon.

Em D

My ship's leaving on a three-year tour

Em D

The next tide will take us from shore

Em D

Windlaced, gather in sail and spray

C C/B Am Em

On a search for the mighty sperm whale

A E

Fly your willow branches

F#m C#

Wrap your body round my soul

D A G

Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets

A E

There are years behind us reaching

F#m D

to the place where hearts are beating

A D F#m

and I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet,

A D F#m

and I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet.

Em D

Starbuck's sharpening his harpoon

Em D

The black man's playing his tune

Em D

An old salt's sleeping his watch away

C C/B Am Em

He'll be drunk again before noon.

Three years sailing on bended knee

We found no whales in this sea

Em D

Don't cry, little Robin-Marie

'cause we'll be in sight of land soon.
