Key: D major

Verse 1
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
A A 
 
As I walked out
D D 
 
A A 
 
one midsummer morning,
D D 
 
A A 
 
weather being both fine and clear,
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
Who should I hear but a tender mother
A A 
 
talking to her daughter dear?
D D 
 
A A 
 
Daughter, I would have you marry
D D 
 
A A 
 
and live no longer a  single life
But she says, Mother,
D D 
 
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
I'd rather tarry for me
A A 
 
sailor boy so bright
D D 
 
A A 
 
But daughter, they are given to roaming
D D 
 
A A 
 
into foreign countries they do go
And then they'll leave
D D 
 
G G 
 
you broken -hearted
Em Em 
 
A A 
 
And   that'll prove your overthrow
D D 
 
A A 
 
I'll dress myself in sailor's clothing
D D 
 
A A 
 
No foreign dangers will I fear
D D 
 
G G 
 
And when we're in the height of battle
Em Em 
 
Then I'll protect my Jamie dear
A A 
 
D D 
 
Fuck how the big guns they do rattle
A A 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
The small guns, they do make their noise
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
And when we're in the height of battle,
I'll cry
A A 
 
Fight on, me jolly boys
D D 
 
A A 
 
Me mother would have me wed a tailor
D D 
 
A A 
 
And rob me of me heart's delight
Em Em 
 
But give me the lad
D D 
 
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
whose tarry trousers shine
To me like diamonds bright
