I've got a halibut boat, the opening is over
G Am C D
The fish just weren't biting, our catch is way down
C D Em C
We're salvagers now, there's logs that are waiting
G Am C D
We pull 'em off shore and we sell them in town
C D
And we'll snap the line tight
C G
Haul them away
C D
Snap the line tight
Am D
She's rocking, she's free
C D
Snap the line tight
C G
Haul them away
C Em D
And slide 'em off into the sea
C Em D
G D Em C
How many thousands of acres of forest
G Am C D
Lie scattered and heaped by the wind and the tide
C D Em C
Well, the companies cut them and boomed them and lost them
G Am C D
And left them forever to rot where they lie
G D Em C
She's a six foot thick hemlock, half-sunken in sand
G Am C D
Gotta dig out a hole to pass the line through
C D Em C
Wrap her around and when she's tied and ready
G Am C D
Then stand clear away and signal the crew
C D
To snap the line tight
C G
Haul them away
C D
Snap the line tight

She's rocking, she's free

G D Em C
It's thirty-six hours we've been without sleep
G Am C D
Gotta boom them by dawn if we're making this tide
C D Em C
It's a five hour haul with a Nor'wester blowing
G Am C D
And a starboard-side swell for a bloody rough ride
G D Em C
And our back deck's a mess of anchors and peaveys
G Am C D
All sliding and tangling in cables and chains
C D Em C
We're in the middle with chokers and pike-poles
G Am C D
To wrap the logs tight so they're not lost again
C D
And we'll snap the line tight
C G
Haul them away
C D
Snap the line tight
Am D
She's rocking, she's free
