Verse
G+G G/F# E minorEm A minorAm
Now as I was a-walking down by the seashore
D MajorD G+G
Where the wind it did whistle and the waves they did roar

There I heard a fair maid make a terrible sound
E minorEm C majorC A minorAm D MajorD
Like the wind and the waves that did echo all around
G+G C majorC G+G
Crying, "Ohh, my love is gone
A minorAm D MajorD
He's the youth I adore

And he's drowned
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm C majorC E minorEm D MajorD
And I never will see him no more"

On a coach and six horses, with me she could ride

But she said, "I will not marry, nor prove you a wife

I'll be constant and true all the days I have life"

Then she flung her arms wide and she took a great leap
D MajorD G+G
From the cliffs that were high, to the billows so deep

And the shrimps of the sea shall swim over my head"

And now every night at six bells they appear
