 -3  -5  6   -5 5* -4-3  -7  -8 -7
From Er-in’s shores we sailed a-way
  7    -6* -5  -6* 6 -55* -4
While morn was sleep-ing yet
5* -5   6  -55* -4-3 -7 -8  -7
We saw our home a-cross the bay
 7  -6* 6  -56 -6*7* -7
And ev-‘ry eye  was wet
-7   -8   7    -9  -8 -7   7    -6*
The flap-ping sails a wel-come threw
-7  7   -6*   6   -5   -4
Tri-um-phant sang the winds
 5* -5   6    -55* -4-3  -7   -8  -7
But we looked back o’er vales we knew
7   -6*   -5  -6*6 -55* -5
To loved ones left be-hind
