High Rolling Sea

G C (4x) G C G Men in the harbour, and women on shore, D G When they go out to sea, will they come back once more? C G High rollin' waves sometimes wash them away, D G To get back to port some ways, that's where they stay. C G On those high seas, high rollin' seas, D G Oh what a misery you've been to me. C G It's the high seas, high rollin' seas, D C High rollin', high rollin', seas. G C (4x) G C G Girls in the harbour, they look to the waves, D G Prayin' that they'd see a sign. C G But the fishin' boats, they disappeared in the night, D G They keep driftin' around in our minds. C G On those high seas, high rollin' seas, D G Oh what a misery you've been to me. C G It's the high seas, high rollin' seas, D C High rollin', high rollin', seas. G C (4x) G C G When the season is over, and the fishin' is done, D G Some made a livin', some others made none, C G They chalk up their losses, and wait for next year, D G It's back to the sea with their gear. C G And those high seas, high rollin' seas, D G Oh what a misery you've been to me. C G It's the high seas, high rollin' seas, D C High rollin', high rollin', seas. G C (4x) G C G Young men and young women, they leave Newfoundland, D G Pick up odd jobs, do the best that they can. C G It's hard to imagine the isle without youth, D G When you leave, you leave behind your roots. C G And those high seas, high rollin' seas, D G Oh what a misery you've been to me. C G It's the high seas, high rollin' seas, D C High rollin', high rollin', seas. G C (4x) G C G It seems like forever, but it ain't long ago, D G A cod seemed to be, worth it's own weight in gold. C G New life style it seems, that we've had to cast, D G As traditions drift into the past. C G No more high seas, high rollin' seas, D G No more a misery you'll be to me. C G No more high seas, high rollin' seas, D C High rollin', high rollin', seas. G C G No more high seas, high rollin' seas, D G No more a misery you'll be to me. C G No more high seas, high rollin' seas, D C High rollin', high rollin', seas. G C (4x) G
