Em C Am D
[Verse 1]
B7 Em B7 Em B7
Fair maiden in the garden walking along
Em C Am D
What is it makes her to weep and to moan?
B7 Em B7 Em B7
I am as a tall sailing ship out on the sea
Em C Am D
Where only long breezes reach out to me
[Chorus]
C D G
And I'll set my sails of silver
C D Em
And I'll steer towards the sun
C D G
And you, false love, will weep for me
Am D
When I'm gone, when I'm gone, when I'm gone
[Verse 2]
B7 Em B7 Em B7
The maid in a garden, how can it be?
Em C Am D
I'm staring seaward but what does she see?
B7 Em B7 Em B7
A mast of the tall rowan tree, ropes of fine silk
Em C Am D
Decks holystoned shining whiter than milk
[Chorus]
C D G
And I'll set my sails of silver
C D Em
And I'll steer towards the sun
C D G
And you, false love, will weep for me
Am D
When I'm gone, when I'm gone, when I'm gone
