[Intro] G C G C G D G [Chorus]
G
Oh, the waves on the sea, how they roll

    C                         G
The chilly winds, how they do blow;

   C                 G
My own true love got drownded in the deep

                   D      G
And the ship never got to shore
[Verse 1]
G
I left my dear darling a-grieving

  C                      G
I left my dear darling a-grieving

  C                      G
I left my dear darling a-grieving after me

                      D           G
For I never expect to see her any more
[Chorus]
G
Oh, the waves on the sea, how they roll

    C                         G
The chilly winds, how they do blow;

   C                 G
My own true love got drownded in the deep

                   D      G
And the ship never got to shore
[Instrumental] G C G C G D G [Verse 2]
G
Oh the first on the deck was the porter of the ship

      C                        G
And a rough-looking fellow was he;

          C                   G
Said, ” I care no more for my wife and my child

                  D           G
Than I do for the fish in the sea”
[Chorus]
G
Oh, the waves on the sea, how they roll

    C                         G
The chilly winds, how they do blow;

   C                 G
My own true love got drownded in the deep

                   D      G
And the ship never got to shore
[Instrumental] G C G C G D G [Verse 3]
G
Oh the next on the deck was the captain of the ship

      C                       G
And a nice looking fellow was he

       C                    G
Said, "ten poor sailors got drownded in the deep

                       D            G
And the ship's still allowed in the sea"
[Outro]
G
Oh, the waves on the sea, how they roll

    C                         G
The chilly winds, how they do blow;

   C                 G
My own true love got drownded in the deep

                   D      G
And the ship never got to shore
