     G    G/F# Em            G     G/F#  Em
As I row, row, row, going so slow, slow, slow


Em          C             G        G/F#        Em            C
Just down below me is the old sea, just down below me is the old sea


C      G      G/F#   Em            G       G/F#    Em
Nobody knows, knows, knows so many things, things, so


Em        C                   G        G/F#         Em                  C
So out of range, sometimes so strange, sometimes so sweet, sometimes so 
lonely


              G        G/F#         Em   D       C
The further I go, more letters from home never arrive


         G    G/F#       Em   D          C               G   G/F#  Em
And I'm alone all of the way, all of the way, alone and alive


Just have to go, go, go where I don't know, know, know
This is the thing somebody said, somebody told me, a long time ago

The further I go, more letters from home never arrive
An I'm alone all of the way, all of the way, alone and alive

     G    G/F# Em           G     G/F#  Em
As I row, row, row going so slow, slow, slow

Em        G        G/F#   Em                 G        G/F#   Em
Just down below me is the old sea, just down below me is the old sea
