When I am far at sea

When the farmer boys return at night

Am D C D
All day out in the fields

While we poor jolly, jolly hearts of oak
Am D Em
Must plough the seas all through

G C D
And when we return again, my love
G D
To our own dear native shore
C G Em
Fine stories we will tell to you
Am D G
How we ploughed the oceans o'er

[Verse 7]
C D
And we'll make the alehouses to ring
G D
And the taverns, they will roar
C G Em
And when our money is all gone
Am D C
Sure we'll go to sea for more
