[Verse 1]
B7EmB7EmB7
Fair maiden in the garden walking along
EmCAmD
What is it makes her to weep and to moan?
B7EmB7EmB7
I am as a tall sailing ship out on the sea
EmCAmD
Where only long breezes reach out to me
[Chorus]
CDG
And I'll set my sails of silver
CDEm
And I'll steer towards the sun
CDG
And you, false love, will weep for me
AmD
When I'm gone, when I'm gone, when I'm gone
[Verse 2]
B7EmB7EmB7
The maid in a garden, how can it be?
EmCAmD
I'm staring seaward but what does she see?
B7EmB7EmB7
A mast of the tall rowan tree, ropes of fine silk
EmCAmD
Decks holystoned shining whiter than milk
[Chorus]
CDG
And I'll set my sails of silver
CDEm
And I'll steer towards the sun
CDG
And you, false love, will weep for me
AmD
When I'm gone, when I'm gone, when I'm gone
