Verse 1:
A augmentedA            D MajorD
I am a young fellow who sails a salt sea
E MajorE            A augmentedA
 Byhearted wherever I roam
A augmentedA             D MajorD
 Until thine sweet Anne from the town of Tralee
E MajorE            A augmentedA
 And now I think only of home
A augmentedA            D MajorD
 When I am out on the ocean there far
E MajorE            A augmentedA
 I dream that I’m holding her tight
A augmentedA            D MajorD
 For her I would raid the moon and the stars
E MajorE            A augmentedA
 Just to lie in her arms through the night

Chorus:
D MajorD     E MajorE      A augmentedA       A augmentedA
 Oh if I had the wings of an eagle
A augmentedA    D MajorD      E MajorE     E MajorE
 I'd fly to my love on the shore
A augmentedA    D MajorD      E MajorE      E MajorE
 And never again would I leave her
BB      E MajorE      A augmentedA
 For she is the girl I adore
BB      E MajorE     A augmentedA

Verse 2:
A augmentedA            D MajorD
 We married that spring and contented were they
E MajorE            A augmentedA
 As only true lovers can be
A augmentedA            D MajorD
 But as captain did call That he had to obey
E MajorE            A augmentedA
 And return one last time to the sea

Chorus:
D MajorD     E MajorE      A augmentedA       A augmentedA
 Oh if I had the wings of an eagle
A augmentedA     D MajorD      E MajorE       E MajorE
 I'd fly to my love on the shore
A augmentedA     D MajorD     E MajorE        E MajorE
 And never again would I leave her
BB       E MajorE     A augmentedA
For she is the girl I adore
BB       E MajorE     A augmentedA

Verse 3:
A augmentedA             D MajorD
 A augmentedA storm it is raging The sails are all torn
E MajorE             A augmentedA
 Our ship it is far from the land
A augmentedA             D MajorD
 I grieve from my life Though I face death with scorn
E MajorE             A augmentedA
 But I grieve ten times more for sweet Anne

Chorus:
D MajorD      E MajorE     A augmentedA       A augmentedA
 Oh if I had the wings of an eagle
A augmentedA      D MajorD     E MajorE       E MajorE
 I'd fly to my love on the shore
A augmentedA      D MajorD     E MajorE       E MajorE
 And never again would I leave her
BB       E MajorE        A augmentedA
 For she is the girl I adore
