Weigh Haul Away

My bandmates' rendition of "Way Haul Away."

Lyrics and Chords:
Capo VII

[Am]Sailing out
From the [F]port in [Am]Boston
[Am]Weigh [G]haul a[Am]way
[Am]Past the sight
Of your [F]wife and [Am]children
Weigh [G]haul a[Am]way.

[F]Haul till your [G]haulin' bones [Am]curse you;
[F]Haul in your [G]sleep in you [Am]can.
[F]Hauling 's your [G]prayer to the [Am]ocean
To [F]bring you [G]homeward [Am]again.

In the storm
And the tempest blowin',
Weigh haul away.
Caught in the hands
Of a spiteful ocean,
Weigh haul away.

[F]Haul till your [G]haulin' bones [Am]curse you;
[F]Haul in your [G]sleep in you [Am]can.
[F]Hauling 's your [G]prayer to the [Am]ocean
To [F]bring you [G]homeward [Am]again.

Late at night
When the moon is shinin',
Weigh haul away.
And for the girls
Back at home you're pinin'
Weigh haul away.

[F]Haul till your [G]haulin' bones [Am]curse you;
[F]Haul in your [G]sleep in you [Am]can.
[F]Hauling 's your [G]prayer to the [Am]ocean
To [F]bring you [G]homeward [Am]again.

When it's sore
For home you're yearnin',
Weigh haul away.
With many a moon
Twixt you and returnin',
Weigh haul away.

[F]Haul till your [G]haulin' bones [Am]curse you;
[F]Haul in your [G]sleep in you [Am]can.
[F]Hauling 's your [G]prayer to the [Am]ocean
To [F]bring you [G]homeward [Am]again.

So nice. I can feel the sea on my face.
