[Intro]
A A A A
[Verse 1]
A A With a lady-like devotion A A She sails the bitter ocean D D If it wasn't for lovesick sailors D A There'd be nothin' left but flotsam
[Chorus]
E D Singin' why, me oh my A D Is there a better man than I A E I hope you find your way back home A D Before you lie high and dry A E I hope you find your way back home A D A D Before you die
[Verse 2]
A A Her sails billow like bubbles A A While ya sip yer daily doubles D D If she wasn't so fond of the weather D A She might give the deckhands trouble
[Chorus]
E D Singin' why, me oh my A D Is there a better man than I A E I hope you find your way back home A D Before you lie high and dry A E I hope you find your way back home D A E Before you die
[Verse 3]
A N.C. One day when I grew older A And I found I could not hold her D D She took on a fine young skipper D A Who soon run her up on a boulder
[Chorus]
E D Singin' why, me oh my A D Is there a better man than I A E I hope you find your way back home A D Before you lie high and dry A E I hope you find your way back home A D A D A E Before you die
[Verse 4]
A N.C. Now the pleasures of the harbor A A7 Don't include a lady barber D D If it wasn't for Long John Silver D A All of us pirates would've been martyrs
[Chorus]
E D Singin' why, me oh my A D Is there a better man than I A E I hope you find your way back home A D Before you lie high and dry A E I hope you find your way back home A D Before you lie high and dry A E I hope you find your way back home A Before you die
