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. _ _ _ _
