| A | fine | girl, who | waited for | me. |
| F# | B | C#m | B | |
| I | catch a | ship a | cross the | sea. |
| F# | B | C#m | B | |
| I | sailed the | ship | all a | lone. |
| F# | B | C#m | B | |
| I | wondered | when I'm gonna | make it | home. |
|
| F# | B | C#m | B | |
| Three | nights and | days I | sailed the | sea. |
| F# | B | C#m | B | |
| I | think of the | girl | constant | ly. |
| F# | B | C#m | B |
| On the | ship, I | dream she | there. |
| F# | B | C#m | B | |
| I | smell the | rose that's | in her | hair. |
|

| I | take her | in my | arms and | then |
| F# | B | C#m | B |
| Say I'll | never | leave a | gain. |

| F# | B | C#m | |
| Oh, | we gotta go now. |
