The Dubliners – Lowlands Of Holland (Guitar)

C                      F
Now when that I was married

C                      Am
And in my marriage bed

C                             F
There came a bold sea captain

C                G    C
And he stood at my bed head

C          G                   F            C
Saying, ' Arise, Arise, young wedded man

F         C             Am
And come along with me

    C
To the lowlands of Holland

       Am   F        C
For to fight the enemy'

C                      F
Now Holland is a lovely land

C                      Am
And in it there grows fine grain

C                             F
It is a place of residence

C                G    C
For soldiers to remain

C          G            F      C
Now the sugarcane grows plentiful

F         C             Am
The tea grows on each tree

   C
I only had the one to love

     Am     F        C
And now he's gone far away from me

C                      F
Said the mother to her daughter

C                      Am
'Give up your soil and bed

C                             F
Is there ne'er a man in Ireland?

C                G    C
That will be your heart content

C          G             F      C
Way there's men enough in Ireland

F         C             Am
But alas there is none for me

      C
Since high wind and stormy sea's

       Am   F        C
Have parted me love and me

C                      F
I'll wear no shoes all on my feet

C                      Am
No comb all in my hair

C                             F
I'll wear no handkerchief around my neck

C                G    C
For to shade my beauty fair

C   G          F      C
And neither will I marry

F         C     Am
Until the day I die

      C
Since high wind and stormy sea's

       Am   F        C
Have parted me love and I
