         / D5                / A5              / G5         / A5
Three / fishers went / sailing out / into the / west,
      / D5          / G5               / D5            / A5
Out / into the / west as the / sun went / down,
        / G5                    / A5               / D5                  / A5
Each / thought on the / woman that / loved him the / best, and
      / D5                   / A5                    / G5            / A5
The / children stood / watching them / out of the / town,

      / D5             / A5            / G5                 / A5
For / men must / work and / women must / weep,
                / D5         / G5           / D5          / A5
For there's / little to / earn and / many to / keep, and
      / G          / D       / A              /
The / harbour / bar be / moa - nin', / and
      / G          / D       / A       / D     / / /
The / harbour / bar be / moa - / nin'. / / /

         / D5            / A5           / G5              / A5
Three / wives sat / up in the / lighthouse / tower,
        / D5                / G5                 / D5            / A5
They / trimmed the / lamps as the / sun went / down, and
        / G5                 / A5                     / D5                 / A5
They / looked at the / squall and they / looked at the / shower, and
       / D5                        / A5          / G5               / A5
The / night-wrack came / rollin' in, / ragged and / brown.

Chorus:

      / D5             / A5            / G5                 / A5
For / men must / work and / women must / weep,
            / D5             / G5                       / D5             / A5
Though / storms be / sud - den and the / waters be / deep, and
       / G         / D        / A             /
The / harbour / bar be / moa - nin', / and
       / G5         / D5        / A5       / D5
The / Harbour / bar be / moa - / nin'.

Three / corpses lay / out on the / shining / sand,
         / D5          / G5                  / D5           / A5
In the / morning / gleam as the / tide went / down, and
      / G5                 / A5               / D5                 / A5
The / women were / weepin' and / wringin' their / hands,
      / D5                      / A5                / G5               / A5
For / those who would / never come / back to the / town.

For / men must / work and / women must / weep, and
      / D5              / G5           / D5            / A5
The / sooner it's / over, the / sooner to / sleep, and
           / G             / D              / A              /
Good - / bye to the / bar and its / moa - nin', / and
