[C] -[F] -[C]

[C]As I roved o[F]ut one ev[C]ening f[Am]air
It bein' the sum[C]mertime to t[F]ake the a[C]ir [F]
I spied a sa[Am]ilor and a l[G]ady g[C]ay [F] [C]
And I st[Am]ood to li[C]sten
And I st[F]ood to li[C]sten to h[G]ear what they would [C]say. [F] [C]

[C]He said "F[F]air lady, [C]why do [Am]you roam
For the day is sp[C]ent and the ni[F]ght is o[C]n"
She heaved a s[Am]igh while the te[G]ars did r[C]oll
"For[Am] my dark-ey[C]ed sailor
For my da[F]rk-eyed sa[C]ilor, so yo[G]ung and stout and b[C]old.&q[F]uot; [C]

[C]"'Tis seven lo[F]ng years since [C]he left t[Am]his land
A ring he t[C]ook from off his l[F]ily-white h[C]and [F] [C]
One half of the r[Am]ing is still h[G]ere with m[C]e [F] [C]
But the o[Am]ther's ro[C]llin'
But the ot[F]her's ro[C]llin' at the bo[G]ttom of the s[C]ea.&quo[F]t; [C]

[C]He said "You m[F]ay drive [C]him out of y[Am]our mind
Some other yo[C]ung man you will su[F]rely f[C]ind [F] [C]
Love turns as[Am]ide and soon co[G]ld has gr[C]own [F] [C]
Like the wi[Am]nter's mor[C]ning
Like the wi[F]nter's mo[C]rning, the hi[G]lls are white with s[C]now."

[C]She said "I[F]'ll neve[C]r forsake[Am] my dear
Although we're pa[C]rted this m[F]any a y[C]ear [F] [C]
Genteel he [Am]was and a r[G]ake like y[C]ou [F] [C]
To in[Am]duce a m[C]aiden
To ind[F]uce a ma[C]iden to sl[G]ight the jacket b[C]lue."

[C]One half of the r[F]ing did young Wi[C]lliam s[Am]how
She ran dis[C]tracted in gr[F]ief and w[C]oe [F] [C]
Sayin' &qu[Am]ot;William, William, I h[G]ave gold [C]in st[F]ore [C]
For my da[Am]rk-eyed sa[C]ilor
For my da[F]rk-eyed sa[C]ilor has pr[G]oved his honour l[C]ong"

[C]And there is a co[F]ttage by yo[C]nder l[Am]ea
This couple's mar[C]ried and d[F]oes ag[C]ree [F] [C]
So maids be l[Am]oyal when your l[G]ove's at s[C]ea [F] [C]
For a cl[Am]oudy mor[C]ning
For a cl[F]oudy mor[C]ning brings i[G]n a sunny d[C]ay. [F] [C]
