Farewell the rolling hills
And farewell to the fields

Farewell love, my fate tonight is sealed

Dm
High are the daunting waves
And bold the wind it blows
           C                             Dm
And I can see love, the mermaid and she knows

On the sea love, on the sea
[Chorus]

And peace now, in her arms
Where I'll be, love

    Dm
My father built a bonny ship

                    Dm
And set her on the sea

            C                             Dm
It was his joy love, he gave that ship to me

        C               Bb
On the sea love, on the sea
[Verse 4]
   Dm
On oceans high and oceans low
We sailed that ship around
              C                            Dm
We owned the tide love, for glory we were bound

        C                Bb
On the sea love, on the sea
[Chorus]
     Dm
And peace now, the sea it calms

                       C
And peace now, in her arms
Where I'll be, love

Sleeping in the sea

Dm                    C
And three times the ship went round

     Dm                     C
And three times round went she

                                       Bb
Its murky deep love, and far away from thee

        C               Dm
On the sea love, on the sea
[Verse 6]
Dm
Farewell the rolling hills
And farewell to the fields

On the sea love, on the sea
[Chorus]

And peace now, the sea it calms

                      C
And peace now, in her arms
Where I'll be, love

Sleeping in the sea

  C
It's where I'll be love-

  Dm
Sleeping in the sea
