Faithful Sailor Boy

D Em G D A D

[Verse 1]
D               A                
It was a stormy winter's night, 
   G        A      D
the snow lay on the ground
G                   D            
A sailor boy stood on the quay 
   Bm              A
his ship was outward bound
D                       A        
His sweetheart standing by his 
   G    A             D
side shed many a silent tear
D                     G          
And as he pressed her to his 
      D         A      D
breast he whispered in her ear

[Chorus]
D                    A           
Farewell farewell my own true 
       G        A         D
love this parting brings me pain
G                     D          
I'll be your own true guiding 
       Bm       A
star when I return again
D                       A        
My thoughts shall be of you, of 
            G          A      D
you when the storms are raging high
D                 G               
So fare ye well, remember me your 
D        A      D
faithful sailor boy.

[Verse 2]
D                  A             
Without a gale the ship set sail 
   G          A        D
he kissed his love goodbye
G                         D      
She watched the craft til out of 
            Bm                A
sight and a tear bedimmed her eye
D                    A           
She prayed to Him in heaven above
    G         A      D
 to guide him on his way
D                   G            
His last and loving words that 
       D      A        D
night re-echoed o'er the bay.

[Chorus]
D                    A           
Farewell farewell my own true 
       G       A          D
love this parting brings me pain
G                     D          
I'll be your own true guiding 
       Bm       A
star when I return again
D                       A        
My thoughts shall be of you, of 
            G          A      D
you when the storms are raging high
D                  G              
So fare ye well, remember me your 
D        A      D
faithful sailor boy.

[Verse 3]
D                  A             
But sad to say the ship returned 
    G       A      D
without her sailor boy
G                     D          
He died whilst on the voyage 
      Bm                  A
back, the flag twas half-mast high
D                     A          
And when his comrades came ashore
      G        A       D
 they told her he was dead
D               G                
A letter he had sent to her, and 
    D         A     D
the last line sadly read

[Chorus]
D                     A          
Farewell, farewell my own true 
       G           A       D
love, on Earth we'll meet no more
G                    D           
I soon shall be from storm and 
     Bm           A
sea on that eternal shore
D                  A             
I hope to meet you in that land, 
G         A          D
that land beyond the sky
D                      G         
Where you shall not be parted 
       D         A     D
from your faithful sailor boy
