[C] [Bm]
[G]
Fare thee well, my dearest dear, Fare thee well, [Am] adieu,
For [G] I must go to sea [Em] For the [D] sake of you.
Love, bear [G] a patient heart, For [Em] you must bear [D] the smart,
[Em] Since you and I [C] must part [D] my turtle [G] dove.
You'll have silver and bright gold, Houses and [Am] land,
What more can you [Em] desire?
Love, don't [D] complain.
And [G] jewels to your hand, And maids at your command,
[Em] But you must think on [C] me [D] when I [G] am gone.
Your gold shall count as dust When that you [Am] are fled,
Your [G] absence proves me lost [Em] And strikes [D] me dead.
And when [G] you are from home, Your [E] servants I'll [D] have none,
[Em] I'd rather live [C]
alone [D] than in [G] company.
And so nimbly then she's dressed, All in [Am] man's attire,
All [E] for to [G] go to [Em] sea was her [D] heart's desire.
She cut [G] her lovely hair, [Em] And no mistrust [D] was there,
[Em] But she [C] and maiden were [D] all at the [G] time.
So to Venice we were bound With our hearts' [Am] content,
No thought [G] of ship in
[Em] wrecked, Oh, away [D] we went.
From London [G] but one day [D] Our ship [G] was cast [D]
away,
[Em] Which forced our lives to [C] lay [D] in [G] discontent,
For our ship was cast away.
Misfortune it did [Am] frown, For I did swim to [Em] shore,
But she [D] was drowned.
Now she [G] lies in the deep, [Em] In [G] everlasting [D] sleep,
[Em] Which causes me [C] to weep [D]
[G] forevermore.
