 SILLY WIZARD

Intro.

DmDm A minorAm x2

Verse

DmDm      A minorAm     C majorC    DmDm
I am a young sailor, my story is sad

DmDm       A minorAm       C majorC      DmDm
For once I was carefree and a brave sailor lad

DmDm     A minorAm    C majorC      DmDm
I courted a lassie by night and by day

DmDm       A minorAm     C majorC     DmDm
But now she has left me and sailed far away

Chorus

DmDm      A minorAm        C majorC      DmDm
Oh if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing

DmDm       A minorAm    C majorC        DmDm
I?d follow the vessel my true love sails in

DmDm       A minorAm       C majorC       DmDm
And in the top rigging I would there build my nest

DmDm         A minorAm       C majorC     DmDm
And I?d flutter my wings o'er her lily-white breast


Verse

DmDm      A minorAm        C majorC    DmDm
Or if I was a scholar and could handle a pen

DmDm       A minorAm      C majorC       DmDm
One secret love letter to my true love I?d send

DmDm         A minorAm     C majorC      DmDm
And I?d tell of my sorrow, my grief and my pain

DmDm          A minorAm     C majorC      DmDm
Since she?s gone and left me in yon flowery glen

Chorus

DmDm      A minorAm        C majorC      DmDm
Oh if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing

DmDm       A minorAm    C majorC        DmDm
I?d follow the vessel my true love sails in

DmDm       A minorAm       C majorC       DmDm
And in the top rigging I would there build my nest

DmDm         A minorAm       C majorC     DmDm
And I?d flutter my wings o?er her lily-white breast


Verse

DmDm        A minorAm    C majorC     DmDm
I sailed o?er the ocean, my fortune to seek

DmDm         A minorAm       C majorC     DmDm
Though I missed her caress and her kiss on my cheek

DmDm        A minorAm     C majorC       DmDm
I returned and I told her my love was still warm

DmDm         A minorAm     C majorC       DmDm
But she turned away lightly and great was her scorn


Chorus

DmDm      A minorAm        C majorC      DmDm
Oh if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing

DmDm       A minorAm    C majorC        DmDm
I?d follow the vessel my true love sails in

DmDm       A minorAm       C majorC       DmDm
And in the top rigging I would there build my nest

DmDm         A minorAm       C majorC     DmDm
And I?d flutter my wings o?er her lily-white breast


Verse

DmDm      A minorAm     C majorC     DmDm
I offered to take her to Donnybrook Fair

DmDm         A minorAm     C majorC     DmDm
And to buy her fine ribbons to tie up her hair

DmDm      A minorAm      C majorC      DmDm
I offered to marry and to stay by her side

DmDm         A minorAm     C majorC        DmDm
But she said in the morning she sailed with the tide


Chorus

DmDm      A minorAm        C majorC      DmDm
Oh if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing

DmDm       A minorAm    C majorC        DmDm
I?d follow the vessel my true love sails in

DmDm       A minorAm       C majorC       DmDm
And in the top rigging I would there build my nest

DmDm         A minorAm       C majorC     DmDm
And I?d flutter my wings o?er her lily-white breast


Verse

DmDm       A minorAm      C majorC    DmDm
My parents they chide me, and will not agree

DmDm             A minorAm      C majorC      DmDm
Saying that me and my false love married should never be

DmDm       A minorAm       C majorC           DmDm
Ah but let them deprive me, or let them do what they will

DmDm             A minorAm       C majorC        DmDm
While there?s breath in my body, she's the one that I love still


Chorus

DmDm      A minorAm        C majorC      DmDm
Oh if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing

DmDm       A minorAm    C majorC        DmDm
I?d follow the vessel my true love sails in

DmDm       A minorAm       C majorC       DmDm
And in the top rigging I would there build my nest

DmDm         A minorAm       C majorC     DmDm
And I?d flutter my wings o?er her lily-white breast
