G  G/F#  Em  Am  Em  C  D

[Verse]
       G       G/F#         Em        Am
Now as I was a-walking down by the seashore
          D                           G
Where the wind it did whistle and the waves they did roar
        D                                 G
There I heard a fair maid make a terrible sound
         Em           C              Am        D
Like the wind and the waves that did echo all around

[Chorus]
         G   C   G
Crying, "Ohh, my love is gone
         Am       D
He's the youth I adore
         Em
And he's drowned
      C          D          Em  C  Em  D
And I never will see him no more"

[Verse]
        G            G/F#         Em          Am
She'd a voice like a nightingale, skin like a dove
        D                          G
And the song that she sang, it was all about love
           D                                   G
And when I asked her to marry me, oh, marry me please
        Em         C            Am                    D
But the answer she gave me, "My love's drowned in the seas"

[Chorus]
         G   C   G
Crying, "Ohh, my love is gone
         Am       D
He's the youth I adore
         Em
And he's drowned
      C          D          Em  C  Em  D
And I never will see him no more"

[Verse]
     G          G/F#      Em       Am
So I said I had gold with silver beside
     D                          G
On a coach and six horses, with me she could ride
               D                                 G
But she said, "I will not marry, nor prove you a wife
        Em           C            Am          D
I'll be constant and true all the days I have life"

[Chorus]
         G   C   G
Crying, "Ohh, my love is gone
         Am       D
He's the youth I adore
         Em
And he's drowned
      C          D          Em  C  Em  D
And I never will see him no more"

[Instrumental]
G  G/F#  Em  Am
D   G   D    G
Em  C  Am  D
G   C  G
Am  D  Em
C  D  Em  C  Em  D

[Verse]
         G              G/F#         Em           Am
Then she flung her arms wide and she took a great leap
         D                             G
From the cliffs that were high, to the billows so deep
             D                                   G
Saying, "The rocks of the ocean shall be my deathbed
        Em             C              Am      D
And the shrimps of the sea shall swim over my head"

[Chorus]
         G   C   G
Crying, "Ohh, my love is gone
         Am       D
He's the youth I adore
         Em
And he's drowned
      C          D          Em  C  Em  D
And I never will see him no more"

[Verse]
    G         G/F#         Em           Am
And now every night at six bells they appear
         D                          G
When the moon shines bright and the stars they are clear
      D                                     G
These two constant lovers with each other's charms
        Em       C       Am           D
Rolling over and over in each other's arms

[Chorus]
         G   C   G
Crying, "Ohh, my love is gone
         Am       D
He's the youth I adore
         Em
And he's drowned
      C          D          Em
And I never will see him no more
      C          D          Em
And I never will see him no more
      C          D       G          C  G
And I never will see him no more"
