And a fair and a

With a bonny

To carry me
 o\'er 
    E
the seas
   A
To carry me o\'er 
the seas, me boys
To me true love

far away
        A   
For I\'m taking a
 trip on a 
A
government ship
    A        
Ten thousand 
E      A
miles away

Then, blow ye 
winds hi-ho!
           
A-rovin\' I
     E

I\'ll stay no 
more on 
D
Erin\'s shore
To hear the

fiddlers play
    A
I\'m off on the 
bounding main
And I won\'t be 
     E
back again
    G   
I\'m taking a 
trip on 
  D
a government

Ten thousand 
      A

[Verse 2]
   A
Me own true love, 
she was beautiful
Me own true love, 
        E
she was young
    A
Her eyes were like 
the diamonds bright
And silv\'ry was 
    E
her tongue
    A
And silv\'ry was her
 tongue, me boys
As the big ship 
         E
left the bay
        A     
And she said, 
      A   
\"will you 
         A
remember me,\"

\"Ten thousand 
E     A

[Verse 3]
        A
But, it must be 
an hundred days
Since last I 
       E
saw me Meg
      A
She\'d a Government 
band around 
each 
hand
And another one 
           E
around her leg
    A
And another one 
around 
her leg, me boys
As the big ship 
         E
left the bay,
      A             
And I swore I
 would 
   A
be true to her
    A        
Ten thousand 
E     A
miles away!

[Verse 4]
      A
Well, I wish 
I was
 a bosun bold
Or a sailor 
        E
without fear
    A
I\'d still build a
 boat and 
away I\'d float
And straight for 
me true love\'s 
E
steer;
    A
And straight for
 me 
true love steer,
 me boys
Where the dancing 
         E
dolphins play,
          A   
Where the whales
 and 
       A
sharks have all 
their larks
    A        
Ten thousand 
E     A
miles away.

[Chorus]
      A
Then, blow ye 
winds hi-ho!
A-rovin\' I will 
E
go
     G   
I\'ll stay no 
more
 on 
D
Erin\'s shore
To hear the 
fiddlers
 A
 play
    A
I\'m off on the 
bounding main
And I won\'t be

[Verse 5]
       A
Oh the sun may
 shine 
through the
 London fog
Or the river 
run 
      E
quite clear,
       A
Or the ocean 
brine 
turn into wine
Or I\'ll might 
          E
forget my beer
        A
Or I\'ll might 
forget my 
beer, me boys
Or the landlord\'s 
        E
quarter-pay
      A              
But I won\'t 
forget my
 A
 own true love
    A        
Ten thousand 
E     A
miles away.

I\'ll stay no 
more on

    A
I\'m off on the

And I won\'t be

I\'m taking a

D
government ship

I\'m off on the 
bounding main
And I won\'t be
