Maid On The Shore Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]There was a young maiden,
who lived all alone
(She lived all alone on the
[Bm]shore- o)
There [Em]was naught she could find
that would comfort her mind,
[Bm]But [D]to roam [Em]all alone on t[Bm]he
[D]shore(shore, shore),
But [Bm]to r[Em]oam all alone on the shore.

[Verse 2]
There [Em]was a young captain,
who sailed the salt sea
(Let the wind blow high,
[Bm]blow low)
[Em]"Oh I'll die, oh I'll die," that
young cap[D]tain [Em]did cry,
"If I dont get that maid on [Bm]the
[D]sho[Bm]re (shore, shore).
If I [Em]dont get that maid on
[E]the shore."[Em]

[Verse 3]
"I've got lots of sil[D]ver,
[Em]I've got lots of gold,
And I've got lots of [Bm]costly ware-
[Em]o. I[Bm]'ll divide[Em],
I'll divide," this young captain did cry,
"If they'll
Bring me the maid from [Bm]the
[D]shore (shore, shore)
[Bm]If they'll bring m[Em]e
from the [E]shore."[Em]

[Verse 4]
So with [Bm]long per[Em]suad[D]ing
[Em]they got her onboard,
(Let the wind blod high, [Bm]blow [Em]low)
Then he seated her down in his cabin below,
[D]There's a due[Bm] towa[Em]rd sorrows and car[Bm]e (car[D]e,
[Bm]care)
There's a [Em]due [Bm]to wa[Em]rd
sorrows and care.

[Verse 5]
The night being [Em]so still and
the water so calm
(Let the winds blow high,
[Bm]blow [Em]low)[Bm][Em]
She sang charming and sweet,
she sang neat and complete,
She sang sailors and cap[Bm]tain
[Em]to sleep[Bm]
(Sleep, sleep[D])[Bm]
She [D]sang [Bm]sailo[D]rs a[Em]nd
captain to sleep.

[Verse 6]
Then, she [Em]robbed him [D]of [Em]silver,
she robbed him of gold,
She robbed him of [Bm]costly ware- o.
Then [Em]she stole his broad sword,
for to make her an oar
And she rowed herself back to [Bm]the
[Em]shor[D]e (shore, shore)[Bm]
And she [Em]rowed herself
back to the shore.
"Well were [Bm]my me[Em]n

[Verse 7]
[Bm]stu [Em]pid,
or were my men drunk?
Or were my [E]men deep [Em]in despa[Bm]ir- o?
Oh, [Em]to let you away with
your beau[D]ty so gay
[Bm]For to roam once a[Em]gain on [Bm]the[Em]
[Bm]shor[D]e (s[Bm]hore, shore)
For [G]to [Em]roam [D]once [Em]again
on [E]the shore?"
[Em]No, your

[Verse 8]
men they wer[Em]en't stu[D]pid,
your men they [Em]weren't drunk,
Your men weren't so deep
in des[Bm]pair- [Em]o.[Bm]
I deluded your sailors as well as yourself
I'm a maiden [Em]once more on the
[D]shore (shore, shore)
I'm [Bm]a ma[Em]iden once more on the shore.
