Misc Traditional - Adieu sweet lovely nancy

^DAdieu, sweet lovely ^GNanc^Dy, ten thousa^A7nd times a^Ddieu. ^DI am going across the ^Gocean, ^Dlove, to seek f^A7or something ^Dnew. ^DCome change your ring with me, dea^Gr girl, Come ^Dchange your ^Gring ^Dwith^A7 me. ^DThat it might be a ^Gtoken of tru^De love when I ^A7am on the s^Dea.

^DAnd when I'm far upo^Gn the ^Dsea you'll k^A7now not where I ^Dam. ^DKind letters I will wr^Gite to ^Dyou from every ^A7foreign ^Dland. ^DThe secrets of my heart, dear g^Girl, And t^Dhe best o^Gf my ^Dgood ^A7will. ^DSo let your body be^G where it mi^Dght, my h^A7eart will be with you ^Dstill.

^DThere's a heavy ^Gstorm ar^Dising: see ho^A7w it gathers ^Dround. ^DWhile we poor souls on the ^Gocean ^Dwide are f^A7ighting for the ^DCrown. ^DThere's nothing to protect us, ^Glove, Or ^Dkeep us f^Grom ^Dthe ^A7cold, ^DOn the ocean wide w^Ghere we must ^Dbide like j^A7olly sailors ^Dbold.

^DThere's tinkers, ^Gtailors, ^Dshoemakers lie ^A7snoring fast ^Dasleep, ^DWhile we poor ^Gsouls on the ^Docean wide are ^A7ploughing through the ^Ddeep. ^DOur officers commanded ^Gus And ^Dthen we ^Gmust^D obe^A7y, ^DExpecting every ^Gmoment we ^Dmay be ^A7cast ^Daway.

^DAnd when the wars ^Gare ov^Der there'll be ^A7peace on every ^Dshore. ^DWe'll return to our ^Gwives and our ^Dfamilies and the ^A7girls that we ^Dadore. ^DWe'll drink our liquor merri^Gly And ^Dspend our ^Gmoney^D fr^A7ee, ^DAnd when our money ^Git is all g^Done we'll ^A7boldly go to ^Dsea.
