[Verse 1]
D
Oh captain tell me true

G                        D
Does my sailor sail with you

G                D
No, he does not sail with me

   A                           D
He sleeps on the bottom of the sea
[Chorus]
D               
What did the deep sea say

         G                     D 
Tell me, what did the deep sea say

   G          
It moaned and groaned

       D
And it splashed and it foamed

       A                   D
And it rolled on its weary way
[Verse 2]
         D
Well, he promised he'd write to me

        G                     D
But his promise he never kept true

G                    D
Never a word from my sailor have I heard

         A                    D   
Since he sailed on that ocean blue
[Chorus]
D
What did the deep sea say

G                     D
What did the deep sea say

   G
It moaned and groaned

       D                
And it splashed and it foamed

       A                   D
And it rolled on its weary way
[Verse 3]
  D
A beautiful rose today

  G                          D
I placed on the crest of the waves

G
Said "Take it please

    D
And let the petals fall

 A               D
Above his watery grave.
[Chorus]
D
What did the deep sea say

         G                     D 
Tell me, what did the deep sea say

   G         
It moaned and groaned

       D                
And it splashed and it foamed

       A                   D 
And it rolled on its weary way

Oh what did the deep sea say

G                     D 
What did the deep sea say

   G         
It moaned and groaned

       D                
And it splashed and it foamed

       A                   D 
And it rolled on its weary way
[Chorus]
D
What did the deep sea say

         G                     D 
Tell me, what did the deep sea say

   G         
It moaned and groaned

       D                
And it splashed and it foamed

       A                   D 
And it rolled on its weary way
