[Verse 1]
C
Fare thee well, my lovely Dinah,
A thousand times adieu.
F
For we're going away from the Holy Ground
C G
And the girls we all love true.

We will sail the salt seas over

And then return for shore
C
And still I live in hope to see
C G C
The Holy Ground once more.
[Fine Girl You Are]

You're the girl that I adore,

And still I live in hope to see

the Holy Ground once more.

Now when we're out a-sailing
And you are far behind

Fine letters will I write to you
C G
With the secrets of my mind,
C
The secrets of my mind, my girl,

You're the girl that I adore,
C
And still I live in hope to see
C G C
The Holy Ground once more.
[Fine Girl You Are]

[Verse 3]
C
Oh now the storm is raging
And we are far from shore;
F
The poor old ship she's sinking fast
C G
And the riggings they are tore.
C
The night is dark and dreary,
F
We can scarcely see the moon,
C
But still I live in hope to see
C G C
the Holy Ground once more.
[Fine Girl You Are]
[Chorus]
C F
You're the girl that I adore,
C Am F C/E
And still I live in hope to see
C G C
the Holy Ground once more.
[Fine Girl You Are]
[Verse 4]
C
And now the storm is over
And we are safe and well.
F
We will go into a public house
C G
And we'll sit and drink like hell.
C
We will drink strong ale and porter
F
And we'll make the rafters roar,
C
And when our money is all spent
C G C
We will go to sea once more.
