Verse 1
(C major) (G major) (Dsus4) As (D major) I was (C major) walking down
by (A minor) the (D major) Royal Albion
Bright (G major) was the sunshine
(E minor) and (A minor) warm was the day
(D major) I spied (G major) a young (C major) woman
(G major) wrapped up in (C major) white linen
(D major) Wrapped (A minor) up in white linen
and (D major) cold as the clay (G major) (C major) (A minor) (D major) (Dsus4)
(D major) I (G major) asked her (C major) what ailed her
I asked her what (A minor) failed (D major) her
I asked (G major) her the cause (E minor) of
all (C major) her com (D major) plaints
Well, it's (G major) all on (C major) account
of (D major) a hand (G major) some young (C major) sail (D major) or
(Dsus4) But (D major) she (A minor) then has caused me
(D major) to weep and lament (G major) (C major)
(G major) When I (C major) was a young girl,
I used (A minor) to seek (D major) pleasure
When I (G major) was a (E minor) young girl,
I used (A minor) to drink (D major) ale
It was out (G major) of the alehouse
(E minor) an d into the (D major) jailhouse
Right out (A minor) of the barroom
an (D major) d into my grave (G major) (C major) (A minor)
(D major) When (G major) I was a (C major) young girl
I used (A minor) to go (D major) dashing
Oh, (G major) in my (E minor) young days
when I (C major) used to be gay
(D major) Down (G major) on the dock (C major) s
with (D major) the hand (G major) some young (C major) sail (D major) ors
Those boys (A minor) ought to carry me,
(D major) follow me to my grave (G major) (C major) (A minor) (D major)
Mother, (G major) oh (C major) mother,
come sit (A minor) down be (D major) side me
Send (G major) for my (C major) sister (E minor) to
(A minor) curl my blonde (D major) hair
And tell (G major) my brother to play
(E minor) the pipes (C major) slowly
(D major) And (A minor) sound the dead march
as (D major) they carry me there (C major) (A minor)
(D major) And (G major) send for (C major) the minister
to come (A minor) and pray (D major) for me
Send (G major) for the (C major) doctor (E minor) al
though (C major) it's too (D major) late
My poor (G major) head is aching, (C major)
(D major) my (G major) sad heart is (C major) breaking
(Dsus4) My (D major) body's (A minor) salvating
and (D major) hell is my fate (G major) (C major) (A minor) (D major)
