I was a wooden beach, a sailor, a sailor sailing on the bay
[D] A king of the world, [G] I was a
She came ashore, what, what a [D] beach
[A] That was the [E] beginning of my own [G] love for me and the song
Oh, my life to be, [C] oh, [G] to be, well, you'll [D] see
[G] A [E] [D] [G]
likely reason that,
[G]
a silly [C] reason like the [G] young me love
[C] [D] to jump [G] into a wonder song
Oh, my life to be, [C] oh, [G]
[D] to be, [G] well, [E] [D]
you'll see
Making no alarm, [D] and the young sailor [G] laughed to her alarm
[C] [G] [G] She wished to [C] shore a night at [D] the [G] seven years' long and the song, oh, the song
Oh, my life to be, [C] oh, [G] to be, well, you'll see
At the ash and the bonnie [D] rum tree [G] are all a [C]-blowing green [D] in the dark [G] and green
Well, early next morning the sailor louder roared
[D] Into a merry vapour through a hat full of gold saying
Take this, me dear, for the damage that I've done

Are all a [C]-blowing green in [D] the dark and [G] green
Well, it could be a girl's child sent her out to nurse
With gold in her [G] pocket and silver in her purse
It could be a boy trying to wear the [D] jacket blue
And go climbing up [C] the ring like [D] his daddy [G] used to do
And the song, oh, the song
Oh, my life to be, oh, for a white and the old country
And where the oak and [C] [D] the tree are all [C] a-blowing green [D] in the dark [G] and tree
And so come all of you from Eden, I won't take my knee
[D] Never let a sailor [G] lie to me, shove up me a knee
For I trust [C] the one who beguiled me
[G] He left me [C] with a pair of scissors
And [G] a dangle on me knee
And the song, oh, the song
Oh, my life to be, [C] oh, [G] for a white and the old [D] country

green in the dark [C] and green
