[Intro]
G  G/F#  Em  Am  Em  C  D
[Verse]
Now as GI was a-G/F#walking down Emby the seaAmshore
Where the Dwind it did whistle and the Gwaves they did roar
There I Dheard a fair maid make a terrible Gsound
Like the Emwind and the Cwaves that did Amecho all aDround
[Chorus]
Crying, "GOhh, Cmy Glove is gone
He's the Amyouth I aDdore
And he's Emdrowned
And I Cnever will Dsee him no EmmoreC"Em  D  
[Verse]
She'd a Gvoice like a G/F#nightingale, Emskin like a Amdove
And the Dsong that she sang, it was Gall about love
And when I Dasked her to marry me, oh, marry me Gplease
But the Emanswer she Cgave me, "My Amlove's drowned in the Dseas"
[Chorus]
Crying, "GOhh, Cmy Glove is gone
He's the Amyouth I aDdore
And he's Emdrowned
And I Cnever will Dsee him no EmmoreC"Em  D  
[Verse]
So I Gsaid I had G/F#gold with Emsilver beAmside
On a Dcoach and six horses, with Gme she could ride
But she said, "DI will not marry, nor prove you a Gwife
I'll be Emconstant and Ctrue all the Amdays I have Dlife"
[Chorus]
Crying, "GOhh, Cmy Glove is gone
He's the Amyouth I aDdore
And he's Emdrowned
And I Cnever will Dsee him no EmmoreC"Em  D

D   G   D    G
Em  C  Am  D
G   C  G
Am  D  Em
C  D  Em  C  Em  D
[Verse]
Then she Gflung her arms G/F#wide and she Emtook a great Amleap
From the Dcliffs that were high, to the Gbillows so deep
Saying, "The Drocks of the ocean shall be my deathGbed
And the Emshrimps of the Csea shall swim Amover my Dhead"
[Chorus]
Crying, "GOhh, Cmy Glove is gone
He's the Amyouth I aDdore
And he's Emdrowned
And I Cnever will Dsee him no EmmoreC"Em  D  
[Verse]
And Gnow every G/F#night at six Embells they apAmpear
When the Dmoon shines bright and the Gstars they are clear
These Dtwo constant lovers with each other's Gcharms
Rolling Emover and Cover in Ameach other's Darms
[Chorus]
Crying, "GOhh, Cmy Glove is gone
He's the Amyouth I aDdore
And he's Emdrowned
And I Cnever will Dsee him no Emmore
And I Cnever will Dsee him no Emmore
And I Cnever will Dsee him Gno more"C  G
