[B] _ _ _ I'm going [E] [B] away to leave you, love, I'm going [F#] away [B] for a while,

[E] The storms are [B] on the ocean, [C#m] the heavens [F#] may [B] cease to be,
[E]
This world may learn [B] to smolder, love, if [F#] I propose [B] to be.
Oh, [E] who will dress [B] your pretty little feet?
Oh, [F#] who will [B] love your hand?
Oh, [E] who will [B] kiss your rosy red cheeks when [F#] I'm in the [B] far off land?
[E] The storms are [B] on the ocean, [E] the [F#] heavens may [B] cease to be,

[E] who will dress [B] my pretty little feet?
And, [F#] mama, will love [B] my hand?
[E] You can kiss [B] my rosy red cheeks when [F#] you return [B] again.
[G#m] The storms are [B] on the ocean, [F#] the heavens may [B] cease to be,

Oh, have you seen those mournful doves [F#] flying from time [B] to time?
A [C] mourning for [B] their own true love, just [F#] like I mourn [B] for mine.
[E] The storms are on [B] the ocean, [F#] the heavens may cease [B] to be,
This [E] world may [B] lose its moans, and love, if [F#] I propose [B] to be. _
_ I'll [E] never go back on [B] the ocean, love, I'll never go back on the sea.

[E] This world may [B] lose its moans, and love, if [F#] I propose [B] to be.
