Verse 1
(C major) I'm a poor boy as (G major) you know,
but I love the captain's
daughter so. (Gsus4)
Each (G major) day (C major) I beg to (F major) be her beau,
but (G major) she tells me no, (C major) no, no. (G major) (C major) (G major)
Daddy (C major) is a sail (G major) or man,
Fresh from the farm (C major) land.
He said if you ask (F major) my hand,
For (G major) me to tell you no, no, (C major) no.
But your daddy's gone away (G major) to sea,
You're as lonely as (C major) can be.
Come and go away (F major) with me
Please (G major) don't tell me no, no, (C major) no
Will you give me golden (G major) rings?
I will give you mod (C major) est things
Will you give me silk (G major) so fine?
I will give you wool to (C major) twine
My daddy owns a (G major) clipper ship,
he brings me pearls on (C major) every trip
And pink champagne for me (F major) to sip,
and (G major) you're the poorest boy
I know (C major) I've got no pearls to give (G major) to you,
I've got strong hands, a heart (C major) that's true
We could start with a (F major) dream or two
Please (G major) don't tell me go, go, (C major) go
I'm a girl of (G major) fortitude
My resolve won't (C major) be subdued
Go away, you're be (F major) ing rude
I (G major) must tell you no, no, (C major) no
There's just something (G major) in your eye (B minor) .
How can (G major) this thing be (C major) denied?
Can't be wrong, it must (F major) be right.
Please (G major) don't tell (B minor) me go, go, go. (C major)
Now I will give you my (F major) true love.
Maybe (G major) that would be enough.
Blessed (C major) are we unworthy of (D minor)
Never (G major) more to be (E minor)
(D minor) A (G major) Root (C major) you
