Version 1
            [Verse 1]
      Am
After fourteen years I left the sea, for a life upon a lake
Am                               E
After all the storms I'd seen, I needed a good break
                Dm
I thought still waters would mean peace for me
    Am
But that was a mistake
        Am                E                         Am
For the place I chose was bedeviled by a giant evil drake


[Verse 2]
  Am
A mallard of such malice, twice the size of any man
  Am                                E
A bill to give you nightmares and a monstrous wingspan
    Dm                         Am
You cannot hope to fight it so avoid him if you can
     Am                        E                Am
That terrifying waterfowl, the beast beyond the dam


[Chorus]
Am
Row-ho Row-ho Row with all our might
Am                           E
Row with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight
Am
Row-ho Row-ho and with any luck
      Dm              Am          E            Am
We'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck


[Verse 3]
    Am
I'm not one for surrender so a vengeful oath I swore
  Am                              E
I gathered up me hearties like so many times before
   Dm                                Am
We shod our ship with weapons and prepared to go to war
         Am                              E                    Am
'Til the fetid feathered fearsome flying duck will breathe no more


[Chorus]
Am
Row-ho Row-ho Row with all our might
Am                           E
Row with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight
Am
Row-ho Row-ho and with any luck
      Dm              Am          E            Am
We'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck


[Verse 4]
          Am
There was bonnie brave Marie, who to her arms had waved goodbye
    Am                                   E
And handsome Jack whose duck-attack left him without an eye
    Dm                               Am
The Derby twins with one leg each on deck were standing by
       Am                           E       Am
Only a couple dozen limbs between a crew of twenty-five


[Chorus]
Am
Row-ho Row-ho Row with all our might
Am                           E
Row with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight
Am
Row-ho Row-ho and with any luck
      Dm              Am          E            Am
We'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck


[Verse 5]
    Dm                                  Am
The fight raged on for several hours, defend and then attack
     Dm                                   F             E
With beatings from those wicked wings our boat began to crack
    Dm                                     F             E
The beast reared up to finish the job, and with a mighty quack...

(quack)

  A                                   E            A
I rammed my harpoon in his throat and made a tasty snack


[Chorus]
A
Row-ho Row-ho Row us back to shore
A                                   E
We'll drag his broken body back and roast it on an oar
A                                      E
Row-ho Row-ho barbecue the beast, with hoisin sauce and pancakes
                         A
We will have the biggest feast

A
Row-ho Row-ho Row with all our might
A                                 E
We rowed with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight
A
Row-ho Row-ho Row we had all the luck
E                                            A
We won the day and did away the dreaded Moby Duck
E                                            A
We won the day and did away the dreaded Moby Duck!
