Tuning: G C E A
Am Sing a song of CMadeleine-Mary
Dm A tune that Amall can carry
Am Burly says if Cwe don't sing
DmThen we won't have Amanything
Am All the boys on Cship set sail
Dm & the mate was AmMadeleine-Mary
Am When her eyes did Cfill with tears
Dm It was extraAmordinary
Am It was extraCordinary
Dm For we none of Amus could see it
Am For she kept herCself kept below
Dm & all her Amfeelings private
Am Sing a song of CMadeleine-Mary
Dm A tune that Amall can carry
Am Burly says if Cwe don't sing
DmThen we won't have Amanything
Am None of us could Cget a glimpse
Dm But all of Amus did want it
Am At night, above ouCr sleeping heads
Dm Our sleeping Amdreams were haunted
Am So now my Ckids you'd like to hear
Dm Of one who Amreached & got her
Am Well if there Cwas well I think
Dm He sleeps benAmeath the water
Am Sing a song of CMadeleine-Mary
Dm A tune that Amall can carry
Am Burly says if Cwe don't sing
DmThen we won't have Amanything
Very cool "sailor song" from Will Oldham's 1999 album I See A Darkness.
Enjoy the chord interpretation! ~ettawhy
