The Holy Ground

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.
         C
We will sail the salt seas over
                      F
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]

[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 2]
C
Now when we're out a-sailing

And you are far behind
                      F
Fine letters will I write to you
Continues after the ad
          C            G
With the secrets of my mind,
     C
The secrets of my mind, my girl,
                        F
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]

[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 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.
