[D4]the ships have been [G4]waiting too [D4]long at the [G4]harbor
a [D4]fair wind is [G4]calling the [Asus]fleet to set [D4]sail
[D4]ice on the [G4]moorings has [D4]finally [G4]melted
for[D4]gotten's the [G4]frost and the [Asus]winter's [A]last [D4]gale[G4][D4][G4]

[D4]fishermen [G4]come with their [D4]nets newly [G4]mended
and [D4]gather their [G4]families [Asus]there on the [D4]shore
[D4]children and [G4]fathers fall [D4]equally [D4]silent
while [D4]sweethearts and [G4]wives wish for [Asus]one, [A]one minute [D4]more

[C6/9]then drawing together and [G4]bowing their heads
for the [D4]ones who are [G4]sailing [Asus]away
the [C6/9]journey is worth every [G4]danger they dread
so they [D4]stand by the [G4]sea and they [Asus]pray

may your [D4]nets be [G4]filled and[Asus] your 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

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

[D4]many are [G4]waiting and [D4]many must [G4]travel
and [D4]some day we[G4] all will sail [Asus]over the [D4]rim
but [D4]every [G4]hand on the [D4]helm hears the [G4]calling
[D4]some will be [G4]fishers and [Asus]some, fishers of [D4]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
