[D]
[G] [D] [E]
[D] [G] [Dm] [G] [D]
The anchors wait and the sails they are set
Oh, oh, Rio
[G] The [D] mates we are leaving will never forget
We're bound for the Rio Grande
So let's pack up your donkeys and get underway
Oh, oh, Rio
The girls we are leaving can't take our half way
We're bound for the Rio Grande
Give a jolly good ship and a jolly good crew
Oh, oh, Rio
A jolly [A] good maid and [D] a good skipper too
And we're bound for the Rio [G] Grande
Away, [D] course, away
[A] [D] Oh, [A] you, Rio
[G] Sing fare [D] thee well, my pretty young girl
[G] We're bound [D] for the Rio Grande
We'll sing as we heave to the mates we leave
Oh, oh, Rio
And you go on and listen, goodbye to you
We're bound for the Rio Grande
Leave only one Paul then that's Stephen, yeah
Oh, oh, Rio
Keep steady because we say farewell today
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
[G] Away, [D] course, away
[A] Oh, you, Rio
[G] Sing fare [D] thee well, my pretty young girl
[G] We're bound for the Rio [D] Grande
Chains up and down now the boats and the tinse
Oh, oh, Rio
Heave up to the house, pipe the [Bm] anchors away
[D] [G] Oh, oh, [D] Rio Grande
