Chords with lyrics
Hold out the E, start singing the first line, then go to the BB
naturally.
The rest is exactly the same.
BB
One morning I rambled
E MajorE A augmentedA
down by the sea shore,
E MajorE
and the wind it did whistle,
BB E MajorE
and the waves they did roar.
BB
I heard some fair maiden
E MajorE A augmentedA
give a terrible cry,
E MajorE
and it sounded so lonely,
BB E MajorE
and it swept up so high.
BB
Said William to Molly,
E MajorE A augmentedA
“if you will agree
E MajorE
to give your consent, love,
BB E MajorE
and marry me.
BB
For my mind is to marry
E MajorE A augmentedA
and never to part.
E MajorE
For the first time I saw you,
BB E MajorE
you wounded my heart.”
“Go away from me William
and leave me alone,
‘cause I’m just a poor girl
and a long way from home.
No, I never will marry
nor be no man’s wife.
I’m content to live single
all the days of my life.”
“The shoal in the ocean
will be my death bed,
with the fish in deep water
swimmin’ over my head.”
She cast her fair body
in the water so deep
and she closed her bonny-blue eyes,
