[D]the ships have been [G]waiting too [D]long at the [G]harbor
a [D]fair wind is [G]calling the [Asus]fleet to set [D]sail
[D]ice on the [G]moorings has [D]finally [G]melted
for[D]gotten's the [G]frost and the [Asus]winter's [A]last [D]gale[G][D][G]

[D]fishermen [G]come with their [D]nets newly [G]mended
and [D]gather their [G]families [Asus]there on the [D]shore
[D]children and [G]fathers fall [D]equally [D]silent
while [D]sweethearts and [G]wives wish for [Asus]one, [A]one minute [D]more

[C6/9]then drawing together and [G]bowing their heads
for the [D]ones who are [G]sailing [Asus]away
the [C6/9]journey is worth every [G]danger they dread
so they [D]stand by the [G]sea and they [Asus]pray

may your [D]nets be [G]filled and[Asus] your compass [D]true
may the [D4wind and the [G]wave be your [Asus]friend
may you [D]stand the [G]storm and the [Asus]hand of the [D]Lord
bring you [Asus]safely to [A]harbor a[D]gain

[D4anchors [G4]away, let the [D4]canvasses [G4]billow
as [D]full as the [G4]hearts of the [Asus]ones left be[D]hind
[D]watch til the [G]last sail sinks [D]o'er the ho[G]rizon
then [D]chart their own [G]course through an [Asus]ocean of [D]time

[D]many are [G]waiting and [D]many must [G]travel
and [D]some day we[G] all will sail [Asus]over the [D]rim
but [D]every [G]hand on the [D]helm hears the [G]calling
[D]some will be [G]fishers and [Asus]some, fishers of [D]men

so [C6/9]drawing together and [G4]bowing our heads
for the [D4]ones who are [G4]sailing a[Asus]way
the [D4]journey is worth every [G4]danger we tread
so we [D4]stand by each [G4]other and [Asus]pray[A]

may your [D4]nets be [G4]filled and your [Asus]compass [D4]true
may the [D4]wind and the [G4]wave be your [Asus]friend
may you [D4]stand the [G4]storm and the [Asus]hand of the [D4]Lord
bring you [Asus]safely to [A]harbor a[D4]gain

may your [D4]nets be [G4]filled and your [Asus]compass [D4]true
may the [D4]wind and the [G4]wave be your [Asus]friend
may you [D4]stand the [G4]storm and the [Asus]hand of the [D4]Lord
bring you [Asus]safely to [A]harbor a[D4]gain
