Verse 1
(A minor) (E major) (A minor) In Dublin's fair city,
in Dublin's fair town,
There lived a young maid
by the name (G major) of Miss Brown. (A minor)
She courted a sailor for
sev (G major) en long (A minor) years,
And from the beginning he
called her his dear. (E major) (A minor)
One morning so early
by the break of the day
He came to her window
and (G major) to her did say (A minor)
Rise up, Bonnie Mary,
and (G major) come you with me. (A minor)
Such things they will happen,
such things you will see. (E major) (A minor)
He took her o 'er mountain,
he took her o 'er dell.
She heard through the morning
the (G major) sound of a (A minor) bell.
All over the ocean, all (G major) over the (A minor) sea,
You maidens of Dublin,
take warnin' by me. (E major) (A minor)
O sailor,
O sailor, come spare me my life,
But out of his pocket he took (G major) a penknife, (A minor)
He stabbed her, and ripped her,
and cut her (G major) in three, (A minor)
And he buried poor Mary
beneath a green tree. (E major) (A minor)
Now green grows the laurel,
and red blows the rose,
And the dark birds will follow
wherever (G major) he goes, (A minor)
Singing sailor, oh sailor,
wherever (G major) you (A minor) be,
The blood flows forever
Outro 1
beneath the green tree.
(A minor) (E major) (A minor)
