[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ There is a [G] young [Em] maiden, she lives [Am] all alone, She lives all [G] alone on the [Am] shore, oh.
There's nothing she [C] can [G] find to comfort [E] her mind,
[Am] But to roam all [G] alone [A] on the shore, [G] shore, shore,
But [Am] to roam [G] all alone [Am] on the shore.
_ _ _ _ Twas of the [G] young [Em] captain who sailed [Am] the salt sea,
Let the wind [G] blow high, blow [Am] low, I will [C] die, I will die, the young [G] captain did
cry, [Am] If I don't have [G] that maid on the [A] shore,
[G] shore, shore, _ [Am] If I don't have [G] that maid [Am] on the shore.
_ _ _ _ Well I have [G] lots of silver, I have lots of [Am] gold,
I have [G] lots of [Am] costly ware, oh.
I'll [E] divide, [C] I'll divide with [G] my jolly ship's crew,
[Am] If they row me [G] that maid on [Am] the shore, [G] shore, shore,
[A] If they row me [G] that maid on [Am] the shore.
_ _ _ _ After much [G] persuasion they got her [Am] aboard, Let the wind [G] blow high, [Am] blow low,
They replaced her [C] away [G] in his cabin below, [A] Here's a [G] due to all [Am] sorrow and care, [G] care,
care, [Am] Here's a due [G] to all sorrow [Am] and care. _ _ _ _
They replaced [Em] her away in his cabin [Am] below, Let the wind [G] blow high, [Am] blow low,
She's so pretty [C] and neat, she's [Em] so sweet and complete,
She [A] sung [G] captain and sailors [Am] to sleep, [G] sleep, sleep,
[Am] She sung captain [G] and sailors [A] to sleep.
_ _ [Am] _
Then she robbed [G] him of silver, [Em] she robbed him of [Am] gold,
She robbed [G] him a [Am] costly ware, oh.
Then took his [C] broad sword [G] instead [Em] of an oar, [Am] And [G] paddled her way to [Am] the shore, [G] shore, shore,
_ [Am] And paddled [G] her way to [Am] the shore.
_ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[Am] Well me men must [G] be crazy, me men [Am] must be mad,
Me men must [G] be deep in [Am] despair, oh.
For to let you away from [G] my cabin so gay, [A] And to paddle [G] your way to [A] the [G] shore, shore, shore,
[Am] And to paddle [G] your way to [Am] the shore. _ _ _ _
Well your men was not [G] crazy, your men [Am] was not mad,
Your men was [G] not deep in [Am] despair, oh.
I deluded [C] your sailors [G] as well as yourself, [Am] I'm a maiden [G] again on [Am] the shore, [G] shore, shore, _
[Am] I'm a maiden [G] again on the [Am] shore. _ _ _
_ [A] Well there is a young maiden, she [N] lives all alone,
She lives all alone on the shore, oh.
There is nothing she can find to comfort her mind,
But to roam all alone on the shore, shore, shore,
But to roam all alone on the shore. _ _ _
