Em D
Goodbye, little Robin-Marie
Em D
Don't try following me
Em D
Don't cry, little Robin-Marie
C C/B Am Em
'cause you know I'm coming home soon.
Em D
My ship's leaving on a three-year tour
Em D
The next tide will take us from shore
Em D
Windlaced, gather in sail and spray
C C/B Am Em
On a search for the mighty sperm whale
A E
Fly your willow branches
F#m C#
Wrap your body round my soul
D A G
Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets
A E
There are years behind us reaching
F#m D
to the place where hearts are beating
A D F#m
and I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet,
A D F#m
and I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet.

Starbuck's sharpening his harpoon

The black man's playing his tune

An old salt's sleeping his watch away

He'll be drunk again before noon.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MOUNTAIN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
