1.
&8217; [F] [C] (/[C] /[B] /A)
so now let me tell you about this girl of mine
&8217; [F] [C]
heart like all men&8217;s dreams in the days of 49
I turn hollow no me more swallow this fast only she breaks
but distance keeps her miles or meters what difference does it make
2.
&8217; [F] [C]
&8216;cause here they come again to repossess my dreams
&8217; [F] [C]
child don&8217;t play yourself things are never what they seem
a bridge a river a pale moon sliver city shines so bright
but to my despair I wake up where they sleep out every night
the girl I love is oh so far away
and I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day
3.
&8217; [F] [C]
oh now the bleating sea she laps upon my door
&8217; [F] [C]
I&8217;ll round a thousand horns just to drown upon her shore
blood red roses go down moses oh billowing sails
those so weak-willed guts all sea-filled throw them o&8217;er[F] the rails
4.
&8217; [F] [C]
boys tighten up the jib and sing a hearty song
&8217; [F] [C]
we been driftin&8217; driftin’ for far too long
I take no care me I&8217;m so b[G]are-breasted o[F]n the bow
scabbed and weathered skin of leather who&8217;s the d[F]eader now
the girl I love is oh so oh so far away
I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day
its so long lady angel I guess I&8217;ll sa[C]y goodbye
but I do believe I&8[G7]217;m aging right before [C]your eyes
5.
&8217; [F] [C]
wash up on her coast not a nickel to my name
&8217; [F] [C]
sold my sold my sold my gold watch and chain
enough to hire a band of lyres to march me on my way
through hills and valleys sugar ditch alleys up to her hingeless gate
the girl I love is oh so oh so far away
I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day
its so long lady angel I guess I&8217;ll say[C] goodbye
but I do believe I&8[G7]217;m aging right before [C]your eyes
cock crow in the morning heard it loud and clear
I ask her for to marry she answer with a tear
boy you have my heart and I know you always will
but that ain&8217;t enou[G7]gh to hold me cause love don’[C];t pay the bills
6.
I turned away in shame for all my days in vain
guess I&8217;ll just[G] drag on no one loves you till yo[C]u’re gone
let the river be my guide let the desert be my bride
till my heart turns to steel till I no longer feel
that the girl I love is oh so oh so far away
I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day
its so long lady angel I guess I&8217;ll sa[C]y goodbye
but I do believe I&82[G7]17;m aging right before [C]your eyes
