Verse 1
(C major) (G major) (C major) If I was a blackbird
I'd whistle an (G major) d sing
And I'd follow the ship
that my true (C major) love sails (G major) in
And (C major) on the top rigging
I'd there (F major) build (G major) my nest
And I'd pillow my head
on his lily -white (C major) breast (G major)
(C major) I am a young maiden and my story is (G major) sad
For once I was courted
by a (F major) brave sailor (G major) lad
He courted (C major) me truly by night and (G major) by day
But now he has left me
and gone far away (C major) (G major)
(C major) He promised to take me to Donnybrook (G major) Fair
To buy me a red ribbon
to tie (C major) up my (G major) hair
And (C major) I know that some day
he'll come back o 'er (G major) the tide
Then surely he'll make me
his own loving bride (C major) (G major)
(C major) His parents, chide me and will not (G major) agree
That I and my sailor boy
(C major) Married should (G major) be
But (C major) let them deride me
And do what (G major) they will
While there's great in my body
He's the one I love (C major) still (F major)
(C major) If I was a blackbird, I'd whistle and (G major) sing
And I'd follow the ship
that my (C major) two lovers sailed (G major) in
And (C major) on the top of the ding,
I'd there build my (G major) nest,
and I pillow my head on his lily
-white (C major) bread. (G major)
(C major) (G major) (C major) (F major) (C major)
