And they say she's [A]a floating [D]shame

[Verse 3]
So [A]fare thee well my [G]own true [D]love
When I return, united we will [A]be

But my darling when I [A]think of thee

Oh, the sun is on the [G]harbor [D]love
And I wish I could [A]re main
For I [D]know it will be a [G]long, [D]long time
Before I see [A]you [D]again
