_ _ _ Jersey, [F] I won't [C] fail ya, I won't [G] fail you, have [C] no fear _
Jersey, I won't fail ya, give me one more [G]
chance, the [C] day is near
_ The meadows they are bursting, the yellow [G] corn lies [C] in your hand
_ And with the night comes sorrow, as the tide [G] of dawn [C] slips on the land
The long breezes are blowing, out [G] down the sky, into [C] my face
_ I've a weary [F] kind of [C] feeling, like my time [G] has come, and gone to [C] waste _ _ _ _ _

[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ I love you darling Jersey, the [G] trees of pine, they grow [C] so tall
_ How come you came to love me, when [G] you didn't love [C] me at all
_ Jersey, I won't fail ya, I won't [G] fail you, [C] have no fear _
Jersey, [F] I won't [C] fail ya, give me [G] one more chance, the day [C] is near
My Jersey looks [C] a child now, [G] as she lies here [C] on my breast
_ In the night I think about her, in [G] the day I [C] get no rest
I cut me a young pine cone, and I [G] gave it to the river [C] deep
_ _ It's there way by your window, [G] where you lay [C] so long in sleep
_ _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ God bless you darling Jersey, with your [G] sparkling eyes, so [C] bright and clear
_ Jersey, [F] I [C] won't fail ya, I [G] won't fail you, [C] have no fear
_ Jersey, [F] I won't [C] fail ya, I won't [G] fail you, [C] have no fear
_ Jersey, [F] I won't [C] fail ya, give me [G] one more chance, [C] the day is near
