[A]
[F#m] And as [E] [A]
[F#m] [E]
[A] [D]
[A] [F#m] [E]
[A]
I awoke one [G#]
[F#] evening fair It [A] be in the summer time and to take the air
I [E] spied [F#] a sailor [E] and a [A] lady gay [C#m] And I stopped to [E] listen
[A]
And I [D] stopped to [A] listen [F#m] to [B] what [A] they said.
They said, Fella, if you're [F#] white and you're gold,
[A] A day is spent [D] on what [A] nothing's on.
Deep [F#m] desire, [E] wildest tears [A] did roll
[F#m] For my dark-eyed [E] stranger, [A]
for my [D] dark-eyed sailor
[A]
[F#m] So [E] young, so [A] stout and fall, seven long years since he left.
[F#m]
[A] Rainy talk from a dismally white pal
On half [F#m] the roof, he's [Em] still here [A] with me.
[F#m] But the others were [E] older, [A]
but the [D] others were [A] older
[F#m] [E] [A]
Said [D] he may drive [A] him out [F#m] of his mind.
Some [A] other young man you will surely find
Locked [F#m] hands aside, [E] I'm soon [A] for this ground.
[F#m] Like a winter's [E] morning, [A]
like a [D] winter's [A]
morning
[F#m] The [F#] hearth, all [A] white with snow, said I'll never forsake [F#m]
my
Though [A] we've been parted [D] this many [A] a year
Yet until [F#m] he was [A] under break like you
[F#m] Good city, you son of [E] maiden, [A]
good city, you [D] son of [A] maiden
[F#m] He [E] smiled, the [A] decked blue, on half of the winged hill when [F#m] he'd come true
Cheer [A] and a strife, dead [D] in [A] grief unborn
Saying [F#m] William, where have I [E] [A] gone and gone?
[F#m] All my dark-eyed [E] sailor, [A]
all my [D] dark-eyed [A]
sailor
[F#m] Has [E] proved his [A] art wrong.
[B] There to start was my [F#m] younger Ruth
This cup [A] was my reed and was her green
So it's [F#m] made me loyal while you're [A] lost at sea
[F#m] For a cloudy morning, [A]
for a [D] cloudy [A] morning
[F#] Rain fell and [A] saw me die.
