Chords for Sheila Chandra -- A Sailor's Life

_ _ _ _ _ A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ sailor's life, _ _ it is a merry _ life _ _ _ He robs young girls of their heart's delight
_ _ _ Leaving [C] them behind _ to _ weep and _ _ mourn _ Never knowing he will _ _ return
Well for twenty _ _ _ _ _ -one a row _ _ By true love he makes the finest _ show
_ _ He's proper tall, _ _ _ _ gentle with all _ And if I don't have him, I'll have none at all _ _
O Father, build for me a bonnie _ boat _ That on the wide ocean _ I may _ _ float
And every queen ship _ that we _ pass _ by In her own quiet wise _ sail _ aboard
Well _ she had not sailed long upon the wide _ deep When our queen ship she chose to _ _ meet
You sailors [D] _ all [C] pray tell me _ true _ As sweet William said, _ among your crew
O no fair _ maiden _ _ _ _ is _ _ not _ here, for he's [Gm] been drowned [C] dead
We greatly _ _ _ feared on yon green island _ as we passed it _ by _ There a lost sight upon your sail aboard
_ Well she wrung _ her _ hands and she tore her _ hair She was like a young girl in _ great _ _ _ despair
_ _ And our little boy _ _ _ against a rock did roll _ _ _ _ Can I live now, _ _ _ my sweet William _ _ [G] is gone
O [Ab] _ _ [Bb] sailor, it's _
[Gm] life, it is a merry _ life _ _ He robs young girls of their heart's delight _ _ _
Leaving [N] them behind _ to _ weep and _ _ [D] mourn _ _ _ _ O [C] _ when he will return
