She’s reading[G] in the bedroom
The [D]dog is in the yard
And I[C] just got bac[D]k from t[B]raveling har[Em]d
I’ve been[C] ten days gone, I’ve been[D] ten days gone ‘cross

The s[G]ea... [C]      [Em]
With my [G]girl in a h[C]ouse in the tre[Em]es         [D]
I [C]love her, she knows
            [D]&
But sometimes, my love goes ‘cross the sea

Paule[G]tte is in the garden
It’s the [D]first day of the fall
And [C]lately I’m no[D]t gettin’ no[B] sleep at all[Em]
She says, “[C]Stay till you’re strong,[D] soon you’ll be gone ‘cross

The [G]sea...[C]     [Em]
With my [G]girl in a h[C]ouse in the tre[Em]es         [D]
I [C]love her, she knows
But sometime[D]s, my love goes ‘cross

the [Em]sea..[C].   [G]     yeah[D]         (x3)
The [G]sea..[F].    [C]

I [G]went to meet the boat man
        [D]&
He was smokin’ on his pipe
Said “[C]Son, you look r[D]eady to [B]travel tonig[Em]ht”&
I think he’s righ[C]t, soon I’ll be gone[D] ‘cross

The [G]sea...[C]      [Em]
With my [G]girl in a h[C]ouse in the tre[Em]es      [D]
I [C]love her, she knows
But someti[D]mes my love goes ‘cross
The [G]sea...[C]      [Em]
Cause she [G]knows in the oce[C]ans I’m fre[Em]e        [D]
It [C]makes her so sad, but she [D]never gets mad when I leave
