Verse
Oh I hea[E]r the fifes a playin' high [A]above the misty headlines.
A-hum th[E]e drums are drummin' down the [F#m]long and briny [B]shore.
My heart[E] knows what they're sayin' get in [A]step and follow me boy.
It's a s[E]ong that they've been singin' for a [B]thousand years or [E]more.
Intro
Chorus
Oh the [E]rollin' of the sea, is [A]beckonin' to me.
I say c[E]ome my son, I'll show you things, you've [F#m]never seen [B]before.
Come se[E]t your spirit free, on the [A]winds of history.
[E]Hoist your sails, and charge a course, and go out and [B]explore.
Oh the [E]rollin' of the sea, is [A]beckonin' to me.
[E]Come home to Newfoundland and Labra[B]dor-[E]or.

Well I've [A]always been a [E]rover, I'd [F#m]never settled [A]down.
