[D] [Bm] [G] [A] [D]
[D] It was on one Monday [Bm] morning
As [G] I walked [A] o'er the [D] moss.
I'd little thought of [F#m] 'listing,
'Til the [G] soldiers did me [A] cross.
The [D] company en-[F#m]ticed me
To [G] drink their [D] health all [A] round,
And the [D] bounty, [A] [D]
And the [Em] bounty, [D] [A]
They [D] gave me
Five [G] guineas [A] and a [D] crown.
[Em] [Bm] [G] [A] [D]
Well [D] my head was full of [Bm] drink, love,
And [G] I didn't [A] think of [D] you.
And now I'm forced to [F#m] go and join,
The [G] orange and the [A] blues.
Our [D] ship she waits at [F#m] anchor,
To [G] take the [D] flowing [A] tide.
I'll re-[D]turn love ([A] I'll re-[G]turn love),
I'll re-[Em] turn love ([G] I'll re-[A]turn),
In the [D] springtime,
When [G] I'll make [A] you my [G] bride.
[D] [Bm] [G] [A] [D]
[D] So early the next [Bm] morning,
Be-[G] fore the [A] break of [D] day,
The captain gave his [F#m] orders
And [G] my love [Bm] marched a-[A]way.
All [D] in your ranks and [F#m] files boys,
All [G] on your native [A] shore.
Fare thee [D] well love ([A] fare thee [G] well love),
Fare thee [Em] well love ([G] fare thee [A] well),
Fare thee [D] well love,
You're the [G] lad that [A] I a-[D]dore.
{np}
[D] [Bm] [G] [A] [D]
[D] But I hope you never [Bm] prosper,
And I [G] hope you [A] always [D] fail.
In everything you [F#m] venture
I [G] hope you [Bm] ne'er do [A] well.
And the [D] very ground you [F#m] walk upon
May the [G] grass refuse to [A] grow,
Since you've [D] been the ([A] since you've [G] been the),
Since you've [Em] been the ([G] since you have [A] been)
The very [D] cause of
My [G] sorrow, [A] grief and [G] woe. [A]

[D] [G] [A] [G]
[Bm] [G] [A] [D]
Well it's [D] true my love has listed
And he [Em] wears the blue [D] cockade.
He is a handsome young man,
Like-[G]wise a roving [A] blade;
He [D] is a handsome [F#m] young man,
And he's [G] gone to serve the [A] king,
While my [D] very ([A] while my [G] very),
While my [Em] very ([G] while my [A] very)
Heart is [D] aching [A]
All [G] for the [A] love of [G] him.
(speak Farewell over chords) [D] [Bm] [G] [A] [D]
