Chords for The Dark Eyed Sailor

_ _ _ As I walked out one evening [D] fair
_ To view the fields and to take the air
I met a couple _ along the way
So I paid attention
_ _ So I paid attention
_ To hear what they did say
_ _ Said William, _ why walk you alone? _ _
The day is done and the night is come
She [N] said as tears from her eyes did fall
_ It's the dark-eyed _ sailor
_ _ It's the dark-eyed sailor
Has proven my _ downfall
_ _ _ Said William, _ cast him from thy mind _ _
For better sailors than him you'll find
_ Your love is young and will grow [Fm] _ [E] cold
Like a winter's morning
Like a winter's morning
When snow covers the ground
_ _ It was his dark eye and his jet black [Fm] hair
And his pleasing tongue did [N] my heart ensnare _ _
Upright he was, not a rogue like you
Who'd advise a maiden _
Who'd _ advise a maiden
_ To slight the jacket blue
Well _ _ it's seven long years since he left this land
_ He took a token all off his hand
He broke that token in half with me
Now the other's rolling
_ Now the other's rolling
At the bottom of the sea
_ _ Then William, _ his token did show _
Which made that young girl's heart aglow
_ Welcome William to my lands and gold
And a store of silver
_ For my sailor lover
_ So handsome, true and bold _ _ _
