[Verse 1]
So come [D]all you
ladies gay who de[Bm]light in sailors' joy
Come [D]listen while I sing to you a [A]song
When Jack [D]Tar, he comes on shore [A]with
[G]his gold and silver in store
There's [A]no one can get rid of it so [D]soon

[Verse 2]
And the first [D]thing Jack require
is a fid[Bm]dler to his hand
And [D]likewise the best liquor of every [A]kind
And a [D]pretty girl likewise with
two [G]dark and [Bm]rolling [G]eyes
[A]Jack Tar, he's suited to his [D]mind

[Verse 3]
Now [D]the landlady comes in,
dressed all [Bm]in her Sunday best
She [D]looked like some [A]bright
and [D]evening [A]star
She was [D]ready to wait on him when
she [G]find he's plenty o' tin
Chalk [A]him down,
two for one behind [D]the bar

[Verse 4]
And now [D]Jack, all in his rage,
he threw [Bm]bottles at [A]her head
[D]Likewise all the glasses he let [A]fly
And the poor [D]girl [A]in her fright [D]called
[G]the watchmen of that night
Saying, [A]"Take this young sail[D]or

[Verse 5]
Now [D]Jack did understand that
[Bm]a ship lay wanting hands
[D]To her, he then went straight dow[A]n
With [D]a sweet and pleasant gale
he un[G]furled his lofty [Bm]sail
Bid [D]adieu to [A]the lasses of [D]the town[G]

[Verse 6]
Now he [D]laid her on a track like a
[Bm]cutter or [D]a smack
She rolled from the lee
down to [A]the weather
And we [D]kept her full and by,
close [G]to windward she would lie
We [A]were bound for Blackwall in stormy
