Вступление
Standard tuning, Capo on 6
Hard to translate banjo picking into guitar chords, but use these as a start
Play only the lower 4 strings to get the closest sound
Alternative would be Capo on 1 and play Dm and C
[Verse 1]
AmG
"Oh I met, well met, my one true love"
AmGAm
Oh I met, well met" said he
AmG
"I've just returned to the salt, salt sea
AmGAm
And it's all for the love of thee"
[Verse 2]
AmGAm
"I could have married the King's daughter fair
AmGAm
She would have married me
AmG
But now I forsakened a crown of gold
AmGAm
And it's all for the love of thee"
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
AmG
"Oh can he come in and can he sit down
AmGAm
I have but a moment's time
AmG
They say you're married to a house carpenter
AmGAm
And your heart, it will never be mine"
[Verse 4]
AmG
Oh she picked up her darling wee babe
AmGAm
And kisses she gave him three
AmG
Saying "Stay at home my darling wee babe
AmGAm
And keep your father company"
[Verse 5]
AmG
Oh then he jumped on a big white steed
AmGAm
And her on a dapple grey
AmG
And they rode until the banks of the sea
AmGAm
Three hours before the break of day
[Interlude]

[Verse 6]
AmG
They had not been on the ship two weeks
AmGAm
I'm sure it was not three
AmG
Until his true love began to weep and to mourn
AmGAm
She cried oh so bitterly
[Verse 7]
AmGAm
"Oh is it for my silver you weep
AmGAm
Is it for my gold?
AmG
Or is it for the sake of the house carpenter
AmGAm
Whose face you'll never see no more"
[Verse 8]
AmGAm
"Oh it's neither for your silver I weep
AmGAm
It's neither for your gold
AmG
Oh it's all for the sake of my bonnie wee babe
AmGAm
Whose face I'll never see no more"
[Verse 9]
AmG
"A curse, a curse" to the sailor she cried
AmGAm
"A curse, a curse" said she
AmG
"Oh you robbed me of my house carpenter
AmGAm
Whose face I'll never see no more"
[Interlude]

[Verse 10]
AmG
Oh they had not been on the ship for three weeks
AmGAm
I'm sure it was not four
AmG
Until there sprang a leak in the bottom of the ship
AmGAm
And it sunk for to rise no more
