[VERSE 1]
[D]Adieu, sweet lovely [G]Nanc[D]y, ten thousa[A7]nd times a[D]dieu.
[D]I am going across the [G]ocean, [D]love, to seek f[A7]or something [D]new.
[D]Come change your ring with me, dea[G]r girl,
Come [D]change your [G]ring [D]with[A7] me.
[D]That it might be a [G]token of tru[D]e love when I [A7]am on the s[D]ea.

[D]The secrets of my heart, dear g[G]irl,
And t[D]he best o[G]f my [D]good [A7]will.

[D]There's nothing to protect us, [G]love,
Or [D]keep us f[G]rom [D]the [A7]cold,
[D]On the ocean wide w[G]here we must [D]bide like j[A7]olly sailors [D]bold.

[D]While we poor [G]souls on the [D]ocean wide are [A7]ploughing through the [D]deep.
[D]Our officers commanded [G]us
And [D]then we [G]must[D] obe[A7]y,
[D]Expecting every [G]moment we [D]may be [A7]cast [D]away.

[VERSE 5]
[D]And when the wars [G]are ov[D]er there'll be [A7]peace on every [D]shore.
[D]We'll return to our [G]wives and our [D]families and the [A7]girls that we [D]adore.
[D]We'll drink our liquor merri[G]ly
And [D]spend our [G]money[D] fr[A7]ee,
[D]And when our money [G]it is all g[D]one we'll [A7]boldly go to [D]sea.
