Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
It's busking me boys,
G 
get you up on the deck
And take up your stations
F 
for hauling the nets
C 
And mind you, pull together lads
F 
all through the night
C 
And shake in your oil skins
F 
G 
until it's daylight
C 
With a heave and a haul
F 
G 
and the shaking of the nets
C 
It's when we're at hauling
G 
we're living on hope
The boy in the locker,
F 
the lads on the ropes
C 
The fellas in the hole
F 
to our hauling the nets
C 
And shaking the herring
G 
out onto the deck
C 
With a heave and a haul
G 
and the shaking of the nets
C 
It's net af ter net
G 
we pull up from the sea
With a haul and a shake
F 
and a one, two and three
C 
The herring are a -piling
F 
around our sea boots
C 
And slithering and sliding
F 
G 
down into the chutes
C 
With a heave and a haul
F 
G 
and a shaking of the nets
C 
It's hour after hour
G 
we are hauling away
All through the long night
F 
till the dawn of the day
C 
The captain's in the wheelhouse,
F 
he's on the R .T.
C 
And the cook's in the galley
F 
G 
a -brewin' the tea
C 
And we're heaving and hauling
F 
G 
and shaking of nets
C 
Now the season is over
G 
so be on your way
And head for the home port
F 
to sign for your pay
C 
Your missus will be waiting
F 
to welcome you home
C 
It's so hard for a wife
G 
to be so much alone
C 
And you're finished with heaving
F 
G 
and hauling of nets
