Adieu, my lovely Nancy
G D
Ten thousand times adieu
C G Em
I'll be thinking of my own true love
Am D G
I'll be thinking, dear, of you
[Verse 2]

Will you change your ring with me, my love?
G D
Will you change your ring with me?
C G Em
It will be a token of our love
Am D G
When I am far at sea
[Verse 3]
C D
When I am far away from home
G D
And you know not where I am
C G Em
Love letters I will write to you
Am D C
From every foreign strand

[Verse 4]
G C D
When the farmer boys return at night
G D
They will tell their girls fine tales
C G Em
Of all that they've been doing
Am D C D
All day out in the fields
[Verse 5]
G C D
Of the wheat and hay that they cut down
G D
Sure it's all that they can do
C G Em
While we poor jolly, jolly hearts of oak
Am D Em
Must plough the seas all through
[Instrumental]
Bm C Em D C G C
[Verse 6]
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
[Outro]
