[Intro]
C


[Verse 1]
C                               F                  C
Oh, where is my sailor boy? Oh, where is my sailor boy?
   F                           C
He sleeps in the bottom of the deep blue sea
    G                  C
And can't come back to me


[Verse 2]
C                              F                 C
I stand on the beach alone and gaze at the misty blue
     F                    C
Deep sea ere you hold him to your breast
        G                  C
Does he mention my name to you?


[Chorus]
C                                   F                      C
Oh, what does the deep sea say? Oh, what does the deep sea say?
   F                       C                       G                   C
It moans, it groans, oh it splashes and foams, and rolls on it's weary way

[Verse 3]
C                                      F                C
Oh please tell me deep blue sea, is he sleeping peacefully?
    F                        C
The winds from the north are blowing icy cold
       G                 C
Please keep him warm for me


[Verse 4]
C                              F                   C
If only my dreaming soul, some token or sign could find
   F                    C
If only the waves would show me where he sleeps
        G                  C
I would leave this world behind


[Chorus]
C                                   F                      C
Oh, what does the deep sea say? Oh, what does the deep sea say?
   F                       C                       G                   C
It moans, it groans, oh it splashes and foams, and rolls on it's weary way

[Verse 5]
C                           F                        C
A beautiful rose one day, I placed on the crest of a wave
  F                       C
I said take it please and let it set upon
 G               C
Above his watery grave


[Verse 6]
C                                 F                     C
As it would I watched in vain, my rose never came back again
   F                 C
So wave take another message to my love
       G              C
Saying I'll meet him above


[Chorus]
C                                   F                      C
Oh, what does the deep sea say? Oh, what does the deep sea say?
   F                     C                       G                   C
It guards, it holds true lovers, and sleeps, and rolls on its weary way
