Tom: C
C F C
As I was walking down the street
C G
Across the western ocean
C F C
A fair young lassie I did meet
C G C
Across the western sea
F C G C
She was a beauty, bough to stern
C G
Across the western ocean

And for her treasures, I did yearn
C G C
Across the western sea
[Chorus]
F C
Oh when we reach the other shore
G C
Across the western ocean
F C
We'll drink like hell we'll rant and roar
C G C
Across the western sea
[Interlude]
F G C
[Verse 2]

She asked if I'd stand a treat
C G
Across the western ocean

I will, says I, for one so sweet

Across the western sea

Up to her quarters we did go

Oh when we reach the other shore

We took no, rest we forged ahead

Across the western ocean

We rocked and rolled around the bed
C G C
Across the western sea
F C G C
Then heavy footstep on the stairs
C G
Across the western ocean
C F C
"Oh dear", says she, "my husbands there"
C G C
Across the western sea
[Chorus]

Oh when we reach the other shore

Across the western ocean

We'll drink like hell we'll rant and roar

Across the western sea
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]

I lept from bed, put on my clothes
C G
Across the western ocean
C F C
His fist it found me bare old nose
C G C
Across the western sea
F C G C
He shook me like a ragged doll
C G
Across the western ocean
C F C
I was kicked about like an old foot-ball
C G C
Across the western sea
[Chorus]

Oh when we reach the other shore

Across the western ocean

We'll drink like hell we'll rant and roar

Across the western sea
