Dark-eyed Sailor chords by Steeleye Span

Chords with lyrics

I figured this chords out after listening to Steeleye Span's "Journey" live
album. It features Gay Woods on lead vocals and Maddy Prior on backing vocals. I
THINK it's in a different key than the original version on HArk! The Village Wait
but it still works. It's one hell of a song.

C-F-C

C majorC      FF    C majorC   A minorAm
As I roved out one evening fair
        C majorC      FF    C majorC  FF
It bein' the summertime to take the air
      A minorAm     G+G  C majorC  FF C majorC
I spied a sailor and a lady gay
    A minorAm    C majorC
And I stood to listen
    FF    C majorC    G+G          C majorC   FF   C majorC
And I stood to listen to hear what they would say.

C majorC       FF     C majorC   A minorAm
He said "Fair lady, why do you roam
         C majorC       FF    C majorC
For the day is spent and the night is on"
       A minorAm       G+G    C majorC
She heaved a sigh while the tears did roll
     A minorAm     C majorC
"For my dark-eyed sailor
     FF     C majorC     G+G         C majorC   FF   C majorC
For my dark-eyed sailor, so young and stout and bold."

C majorC         FF       C majorC    A minorAm
"'Tis seven long years since he left this land
      C majorC         FF     C majorC    FF  C majorC
A augmentedA ring he took from off his lily-white hand
         A minorAm      G+G     C majorC  FF C majorC
One half of the ring is still here with me
     A minorAm    C majorC
But the other's rollin'
     FF    C majorC       G+G      C majorC   FF  C majorC
But the other's rollin' at the bottom of the sea."

C majorC         FF    C majorC      A minorAm
He said "You may drive him out of your mind
       C majorC         FF   C majorC   FF  C majorC
Some other young man you will surely find
       A minorAm       G+G    C majorC  FF  C majorC
Love turns aside and soon cold has grown
      A minorAm    C majorC
Like the winter's morning
      FF    C majorC      G+G          C majorC
Like the winter's morning, the hills are white with snow."

C majorC        FF    C majorC    A minorAm
She said "I'll never forsake my dear
         C majorC     FF   C majorC  FF  C majorC
Although we're parted this many a year
      A minorAm     G+G     C majorC  FF  C majorC
Genteel he was and a rake like you
   A minorAm   C majorC
To induce a maiden
   FF    C majorC     G+G        C majorC
To induce a maiden to slight the jacket blue."

C majorC        FF        C majorC	A minorAm
One half of the ring did young William show
	  C majorC      FF    C majorC   FF  C majorC
She ran distracted in grief and woe
     A minorAm           G+G    C majorC  FF  C majorC
Sayin' "William, William, I have gold in store
     A minorAm    C majorC
For my dark-eyed sailor
     FF     C majorC     G+G        C majorC
For my dark-eyed sailor has proved his honour long"

C majorC        FF     C majorC   A minorAm
And there is a cottage by yonder lea
         C majorC     FF   C majorC  FF C majorC
This couple's married and does agree
       A minorAm       G+G     C majorC  FF  C majorC
So maids be loyal when your love's at sea
    A minorAm   C majorC
For a cloudy morning
    FF    C majorC      G+G     C majorC  FF  C majorC
For a cloudy morning brings in a sunny day.
