Sinking In The Lonesome Sea Chords by The Carter Family

[C] _ [D] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ There was a little ship _ and she sailed upon the sea
And she went by the name [Ab] of the merry golden tree
[Bb] And [Eb] she sailed upon the low, and the low, and the low
And she sailed [Bb] upon the low, [Eb] down the sea _ _ _ _
There was a little _ sailor _ _ unto his captain _ said
Oh, _ captain, captain, [Ab] what'll you give to [Eb] me
If I thank him in the low and lonesome low
If I thank him in [Bb] the [Eb] lonesome sea _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Two hundred dollars I will give unto thee
And my oldest daughter [Ab] I'll wed unto [Cm] you
[Eb] If you thank them in the low and lonesome low
If you thank them in [Bb] the [Gm] [Eb] lonesome sea _ _ _
He bowed upon his _ breast _ and away swam he
Till he came to the ship [Ab] of the Turkish Rivoli
[Eb] As she sailed upon the low and lonesome low
As she sailed upon [Bb] the [Eb] lonesome sea _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ If it wasn't for the _ love _ of your daughter and your men
I would do unto you [Ab] as I did unto them
[Eb] I would thank you in the low and lonesome low
I would thank you in [Bb] the [Eb] lonesome sea _
_ He bowed his _ head and down sank he _
_ Farewell, farewell to [Ab] the merry golden tree
[Eb] For I'm thanking him in the low and lonesome low
For I'm thanking him [Bb] in the [Gm] [Eb] lonesome sea _ _ _ _
