[F] [C]
[G] [C]
She stood on the beach alone and gazed at the misty [C] blue, saying, see, as you hold him
to your breast, does he [A] mention my [G] name to [C] you?
Oh, where is [G] my sailor [C] boy?
[F] Where is my sailor boy?
[F] He sleeps at the bottom [C] of the deep blue sea and he [G] can't come back [C] to me.
Oh, what [G] does the deep [C] sea say?
What [G] does the deep [C] sea say?
It [G] moans, it [F] groans, it splashes and it foams [C] and it rolls [G] on its [C] weary way.
[G]
[C] [F]
[C] [F]
[C] [G]
[C] Oh, please [Em] tell me, deep [C] blue sea, [F] is he sleeping [C] peacefully?
[F] For the winds from the north [C] are blowing icicles, can you [G] keep him warm [C] for me?
If only [G] my grieving [C] soul [F] some token of love [C] could find.
[F] If only the waves [C] could show me where he sleeps, then I'd leave [G] this world [C] behind.
Oh, what does [G] the deep sea [C] say?
What does [G] the deep sea [C] say?
It moans, [G] it groans, [F] it splashes and it foams [C] and it rolls [G] on its weary [C] way.
[G]
[C] [F]
[C]
[G]
[C] A beautiful rose one day I placed on the crest of a wave.
And I said, take it please and let it settle for above [G] his [C] watery grave.
The [G] driftwood I've watched [C] in vain and [F] my rose never came back [C] again.
So [F] waves take another [C]
message to my love, tell him [G] I'll meet him [C]
above.
Oh, what [G] does the deep [C] sea say?
What does [G] the deep sea say?
It yawns [G] and [F] keeps my lover where he sleeps.
[C] And it rolls on its weary way.
