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

Cruel was the little boat that rowed him off the strand

And cruel was the big ship, that took him from the land

Chorus:
G           D     A
Haul away, boys, haul away
