INTRO: Am, Am
      Am         G           Em          Am
There is a young maiden, she lives all a-lone

    Am          G           Am    
She lived all a-lone on the shore-o

        Am              C       G           Em
There's nothing she can find to comfort her mind

       Am         G           Am            G
But to roam all a-lone on the shore, shore, shore

       Am         G           Am     
But to roam all a-lone on the shore

      Am           G           Em              Am
'Twas of the young Captain who sailed the salt sea

        Am        G          Am    
Let the wind blow high, blow low

       Am          C              G           Em
I will die, I will die, the young Captain did cry

     Am              G           Am            G
If I don't have that maid on the shore, shore, shore

     Am              G           Am
If I don't have that maid on the shore

  Am           G         Em           Am
I have lots of silver, I have lots of gold

  Am           G      Am
I have lots of costly ware-o

     Am             C             G            Em
I'll divide, I'll divide, with my jolly ship's crew

        Am          G           Am            G
If they row me that maid on the shore, shore, shore

        Am          G           Am
If they row me that maid on the shore

     Am         G           Em       Am
After much persuasion, they got her aboard

        Am        G          Am
Let the wind blow high, blow low

       Am          C          G       Em
They replaced her away in his cabin below

       Am           G          Am          G
Here's adieu to all sorrow and care, care, care

       Am           G          Am
Here's adieu to all sorrow and care

       Am         G           Em      Am
They replaced her away in his cabin below

       Am        G          Am
Let the wind blow high, blow low

         Am         C              G         Em
She's so pretty and neat, she's so sweet and complete

           Am          G          Am            G
She's sung Captain and sailors to sleep, sleep, sleep

           Am          G          Am
She's sung Captain and sailors to sleep

         Am            G           Em            Am
Then she robbed him of silver, she robbed him of gold

    Am            G          Am
She robbed him of costly ware-o

     Am            C       G           Em
Then took his broadsword instead of an oar

    Am          G          Am            G
And paddled her way to the shore, shore, shore

    Am          G          Am
And paddled her way to the shore

   Am          G         Em          Am
Me men must be crazy, me men must be mad

   Am          G               Am
Me men must be deep in despair-o

       Am       C           G        Em
For to let you away from my cabin so gay

       Am          G          Am            G
And to paddle your way to the shore, shore, shore

       Am          G          Am
And to paddle your way to the shore

     Am          G           Em          Am
Your men was not crazy, your men was not mad

     Am          G               Am
Your men was not deep in despair-o

    Am         C          G       Em
I deluded your sailors as well as yourself

      Am      G           Am            G
I'm a maiden again on the shore, shore, shore

      Am      G           Am
I'm a maiden again on the shore
