Chords for Olivia Chaney - The Dark Eyed Sailor (Live BBC Radio 2)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
As I roved out one evening fair, _
_ _ It'd been the summer time to take the air, _ _ _ _
I spied a sailor and a lady _ gare,
_ _ _ And I stood to listen,
_ _ And I stood to listen,
To hear what they would say.
_ _ He said, Fair lady, why do [Ab] you roam?
_ _ For the day is [Cm] spent and [Eb] the mating's on.
_ _ She heaved a sigh while the tears did [Ab] roll. _ _ _
[G] For my dark [Eb]-eyed sailor,
[Cm]
For my dark-eyed sailor,
So young and [Eb] stout and bold. _ _
Tis seven [Ab] young years since he left this land,
A [Eb] ring he took from half his lily-white hair,
_ But one half of the ring is still here with me.
[Ab] _ But [Eb] _
the [Bb] others roll in,
[Cm] But the [Ab] others roll in,
[Cm] At the bottom [Eb] _
of the sea.
_ _ He said, You may drive him out of your mind,
[Eb] Some other [Cm] young man [Bb] you will surely find.
[Cm] Love turns aside and soon cold [Cm]
has grown,
_ _ [C] _ _ Like a [Eb] winter's morning,
Like a winter's morning,
The hills are white with snow.
_ Oh, she said, I'll [Eb] never forsake my dear,
Although [Cm] we [Eb] parted many a year.
_ _ [Cm] Gentile he was and no rake [Ab] like you,
_ [Eb] _ To induce [Ab] a maiden,
[Eb] To induce a maiden,
_ And [C] slide the jacket [Eb] blue. _ _
But one half of the ring did young [Cm] William show.
_ She ran distracted in [Bb]
grief and woe,
[Cm] Saying, William, William, I have gold in [Ab] store. _ _
Oh, for my dark-eyed [Eb] _ [Eb] sailor,
For my dark-eyed sailor,
Has proved his honour _ long.
_ _ And there is a cottage by [Ab] yonder lee,
This [Eb] couple's married and does agree,
[Cm] So maids be loyal when your [Ab] love's at sea.
_ _ _ [Cm] Oh, for a cloudy [Eb] morning,
_ For a cloudy morning,
_ [Cm] Brings in [Ab] a [Eb] sunny day. _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
