[B] [E] [B]
Oh come, [A] all you wild [B] young men, [E] and the Lord in pain [B] be with you.
Never [E] to lead [A] your single life [E] astray, and into no bad [B] company.
[E]
As I [A] myself [B] have done, it's [E] been in the [B] manth of men.
When I was pressed, [A] I'll sing thee, Captain and Gunbow, the man of war, I [B] will say.
[E] We've sailed a mean ocean [B] so [E] wide, and our bonnie, bonnie flag [B] we'll ever ride.
Let [E] every man [A] stand true [E] to his gun, for [A] the Lord knows we [B] must die.
Let every man stand true to his gun, [E] for the Lord [A] knows we [B] must die.
[E] Our captain [A] was wounded [C#] for so, [F#m] [E] and likewise were the rest [B] of his crew.
Our main master again, [E] it was scattered on the deck, so that we were obliged [B] to give in.
[E] Our decks, they were splattered [B] with blood, [E] and so loudly the [B] cannon did roll.
[B] And here, oh the wife, [A] I wished [E] myself at home and [A] all alone, with my Polly [B] on the shore.
She's a tall and a slender girl, she's a dark and a roving eye,
and here am I, [E] bleeding on the deck, when for her sweet [D#] sake I will die.
[E] And here am [B] I, bleeding on the [G#m] deck, [E] when for her [A] sweet sake [B] I will die.
[A] [B]
[E] So farewell [A] to my parents [B] and my friends, and [E] farewell to my dear [F#] Polly too.
[B] I never would [E] have crossed the salt sea so wide, [A] if I had been rolled [B] by you.
[E] Never would [B] have crossed the [A] salt sea so wide, [E] if I had been rolled [B] by you.
