The ring beneath my pillow, is the ring he gave to me

I'll wear it on my finger, for all the world to see
  D MajorD       B minorBm      G+G        A augmentedA
But cruel was the captain, the bo'sun, and the men
     B minorBm      G+G       D MajorD      A augmentedA
For they didn't give a farthing if I saw my love again
