Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Ther[C]e wa[G]s a little
ship, and she sailed upon the sea
The name of the ship was
the [Em]Golden [C]Vanity.
She sailed [G]upon the low, the
[Em]lone[G]some low[Em][G]
She sailed upon the [D]lonesome [G]sea

[Verse 2]
She had not been [G]out [Em]many more
[G]weeks than three
When she was over[D]taken
by the [Em]Turkish [C]Revelry
Sailing on [G]the[Em][G]
low, the lone[Em]some [G]low
She sailed upon the [D]lone
[Em]some sea
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
Then up spoke a little cabin
[Gsus4]boy[G]
Saying "What will you give me
if [C]I will them destroy?"
If I sink her in the [G]low, lonesome low
Sink her in the [D]lonesome [G]sea[Gsus4]

[Verse 4]
[G]"Th[C]e man who the[G]m destroys",
the captain then replied
"It's five thousand pounds
and my [C]daughter for your bride"
If you sink them in the [G]low,
[C]lonesom[G]e low
Sink them in the [D]lonesome
[G]sea

[Verse 5]
The boy smote [G]his breast,
and down jumped he
He swam until he came to the
[C]Turkish Revelry
Sailing on the [G]low, lonesome low
Sailing on the [D]lonesome sea
[G]He had a little

[Verse 6]
tool, made [C]for [G]the use
He bored nine holes [C]in her hull all at once
He sank her [G]in the low, lonesome low
He sank her in the [D]lonesome [G]ocean

[G]Crying "Ca[Em]ptain pick me up,[D]
I'm [C]waving with the tide"
"I'm sinking in the [G]low, lonesome low
Sinking in the [D]lonesome [G]sea"

[Verse 8]
"I will not pick [G]you up",
the Captain then replied
"I'll shoot you,
I'll drown you, I'll [C]sink you in the tide
I'll sink you in the [G]low, lonesome low,
Sink you in the [D]lonesome [G]sea"

lonesome low
Sink you in the [D]lonesome
[G]sea"
