[E4]the ships have been [A4]waiting too [E4]long at the [A4]harbor
a [E4]fair wind is [A4]calling the [Bsus]fleet to set [E4]sail
[E4]ice on the [A4]moorings has [E4]finally [A4]melted
for[E4]gotten's the [A4]frost and the [Bsus]winter's [B]last [E4]gale[A4][E4][A4]

[E4]fishermen [A4]come with their [E4]nets newly [A4]mended
and [E4]gather their [A4]families [Bsus]there on the [E4]shore
[E4]children and [A4]fathers fall [E4]equally [E4]silent
while [E4]sweethearts and [A4]wives wish for [Bsus]one, [B]one minute [E4]more

[D6/9]then drawing together and [A4]bowing their heads
for the [E4]ones who are [A4]sailing [Bsus]away
the [D6/9]journey is worth every [A4]danger they dread
so they [E4]stand by the [A4]sea and they [Bsus]pray

may your [E4]nets be [A4]filled and[Bsus] your compass [E4]true
may the [E4]wind and the [A4]wave be your [Bsus]friend
may you [E4]stand the [A4]storm and the [Bsus]hand of the [E4]Lord
bring you [Bsus]safely to [B]harbor a[E4]gain

[E4]anchors [A4]away, let the [E4]canvasses [A4]billow
as [E4]full as the [A4]hearts of the [Bsus]ones left be[E4]hind
[E4]watch til the [A4]last sail sinks [E4]o'er the ho[A4]rizon
then [E4]chart their own [A4]course through an [Bsus]ocean of [E4]time

[E4]many are [A4]waiting and [E4]many must [A4]travel
and [E4]some day we[A4] all will sail [Bsus]over the [E4]rim
but [E4]every [A4]hand on the [E4]helm hears the [A4]calling
[E4]some will be [A4]fishers and [Bsus]some, fishers of [E4]men

so [D6/9]drawing together and [A4]bowing our heads
for the [E4]ones who are [A4]sailing a[Bsus]way
the [E4]journey is worth every [A4]danger we tread
so we [E4]stand by each [A4]other and [Bsus]pray[B]

may your [E4]nets be [A4]filled and your [Bsus]compass [E4]true
may the [E4]wind and the [A4]wave be your [Bsus]friend
may you [E4]stand the [A4]storm and the [Bsus]hand of the [E4]Lord
bring you [Bsus]safely to [B]harbor a[E4]gain

may your [E4]nets be [A4]filled and your [Bsus]compass [E4]true
may the [E4]wind and the [A4]wave be your [Bsus]friend
may you [E4]stand the [A4]storm and the [Bsus]hand of the [E4]Lord
bring you [Bsus]safely to [B]harbor a[E4]gain
