[Verse 1]
Gun [D]people,
all both young [G]and [D]old,
[G]my age is twenty -th[A]ree.
My par[D]ents [G]turned me from
[Em]their [D]door on [G]to America.
[A]All from tha[D]t fertil[G]e tir[D]e land
Where [A]my first beret [G]I drew
[A]They for[D]ced me to America[G]
[D]My for[G]tune to pur[A]sue
While the [D]reason why they trans[G]ported me
[D]I inten[G]d to let you hea[A]r
Because [D]I would n[G]ot b[D]reak my vow
To [G]the girl I love so [A]dear
With a [D]heavy [G]heart I sailed [A]away
[D]and lef[A]t her on that pier
That [D]girl I love so [G]tenderly,
[D]my cha[G]rming Sally Gre[A]er
On [D]board of the Rose of [G]Aberdeen,
[D]from Bel[G]fast we bore dow[A]n
[D]With eighteen [G]emig[D]rant[A] s on bo[D]ard,
[A]was to Quebec we were bound
And we were a [D]long [G]time on the ocean[D],
But no [E]danger [A]did I fear,
For my [D]heart was with the [G]girl I [D]left,
[G]That charming Sally [A]Greer.
When the [D]seas are all in mo[G]tion,
[D]They kee[G]p rolling to [A]and fro,
Our ves[D]sels struck [G]again[A]st the [D]rock,
in [A]pieces did she go.
Out of [D]eighteen [G]emigrant[A]s on b[D]oard,
only [E]fourteen reached [A]the shore.
The [Bm]other poor souls to the
[G]bottom [D]went,
they nev[G]er were seen any [A]more.
Twas [D]on the island [G]of St. [D]Paul,
for [G]twelve days we did [A]lie.
Our [D]bedding [G]was [D]the [A]cold, [D]cold ground,
our cov[A]ering [G]was [A]the sky
And the [D]clothes and [G]money [D]that we had,
we [E]lost on [G]Bor[A]derech
Well, we [D]were a sight for [G]two,
[D]behold,
when we [Esus4]landed in[A] Qu[G]ebec
[A]And [D]now I'm safe in Que[G]bec town
[D]I've [G]friends and money [A]there
But still [D]I long for the g[G]irl I[A] left
[D]That charming[A] girl so fair
I'm in [D]hopes to be [G]back in Owl Is[A]land
[D]Before [E]the [A]end o[G]f the year[A]
And [D]then I'll roll all [G]in the arm[D]s
[A]of my [G]charming Sally [A]Greer.[D][A][D][G]
