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