(F major) (G major) (C major)
Once I was a (D major) sailor (G major) bold

Verse 2
But (G major) then I tired of (F major) wander (G major) ing
(C major) Upon the angry (G major) sea
(C major) And I recalled me (D major) mother's (G major) words
She (D major) always (G major) said to (C major) me
"Come home to Bantry (D minor) Bay,"
She (G major) cried, a (D minor) hundred (G major) times or (C major) more
"Come home before you
(D major) lose your (G major) way
Upon some foreign (F major) shore."
So, (G major) to her, I did (F major) listen
(G major) And I (C major) bid the sea (G major) adieu
And I (C major) thought no more of (D major) sailing (G major) ships
Like (D minor) wise (G major) the ocean (C major) blue
