Goodbye, little Robin-Marie / Don't try following me
Don't cry, little Robin-Marie / 'cause you know I'm coming home soon.

Em D   Em D   Em D   D Em   C Em
My ship's leaving on a three-year tour / The next tide will take us from shore
Windlaced, gather in sail and spray / On a search for the mighty sperm whale

CHORUS: A E   F#m C#   D A G   A E   F#m D   A D F#m   A D F#m 
Fly your willow branches
Wrap your body round my soul
Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets
There are years behind us reaching
to the place where hearts are beating
and I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet,
and I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet.

INSTRUMENTAL I: F#m E   F#m E   F#m A B   B D E   B D E   C D Em   

Em D   Em D   Em D   Em C Em
Starbuck's sharpening his harpoon / The black man's playing his tune
An old salt's sleeping his watch away / He'll be drunk again before noon.

INSTRUMENTAL II: Em D   Em D   C G   Em C D   C D Em

Em D   Em D   Em D   Em C Em
Three years sailing on bended knee / We found no whales in this sea
Don't cry, little Robin-Marie / 'cause we'll be in sight of land soon.
