Standard (EADGBE)

 It's at / Portage and Main you'll / see them again,

 On their / way to the hills of Al - / berta.

 With / lop-side grins, they / waggle their chins, and

 They / brag of the wage they'll be / earnin'.

 Then it's / quick, pull the string boys, and

Get the / tool out,

Haul it a - way, / Haul it a - way!

 But just / two years ago, you could / hear the same shout,

 Where the / whales make free in the / harbour.

Chorus

Free in the / Harbour; the / Blackfish are sporting a - / gain,

 Free in the / Harbour; un - / troubled by comings and / goings of men,

 Who / once did pursue them as / oil from the sea,

Hauling a - way, / Hauling a - way!

 Now they're / Calgary roughnecks from / Hermitage Bay,

 Where the / whales make free in the / harbour.

Break

 Well, it's a / living they've found, / deep in the ground, and

 If there's / doubts, it's best they ig - / nore them.

 Nor / think on the bones, the / crosses and stones,

 Of their / fathers that came there be - / fore them.

 In the / taverns of Edmonton, / fishermen shout,

Haul it a - way, / Haul it a - way!

 They left / three hundred years buried / up by the Bay,

 Where the / whales make free in the / harbour.

Chorus

Free in the / harbour...a - / gain.
