Dm (xx0231@1)          Am (x02210@1) A tune that all can carry
Am (x02210@1)            C (x32010@1) Burly says if we don't sing
Dm (xx0231@1)               AmThen (x02210@1)we won't have anything

Am (x02210@1)              C (x32010@1) All the boys on ship set sail
Dm (xx0231@1)             Am (x02210@1) & the mate was Madeleine-Mary
Am (x02210@1)                C (x32010@1) When her eyes did fill with tears
Dm (xx0231@1)          Am (x02210@1) It was extraordinary
Am (x02210@1)          C (x32010@1) It was extraordinary
Dm (xx0231@1)             Am (x02210@1) For we none of us could see it
Am (x02210@1)              C (x32010@1) For she kept herself kept below
Dm (xx0231@1)        Am (x02210@1) & all her feelings private

Am (x02210@1)             C (x32010@1) Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary
Dm (xx0231@1)          Am (x02210@1) A tune that all can carry

Dm (xx0231@1)               AmThen (x02210@1)we won't have anything

Am (x02210@1)               C (x32010@1) None of us could get a glimpse
Dm (xx0231@1)         Am (x02210@1) But all of us did want it
Am (x02210@1)                C (x32010@1) At night, above our sleeping heads
Dm (xx0231@1)           Am (x02210@1) Our sleeping dreams were haunted

Am (x02210@1)        C (x32010@1) So now my kids you'd like to hear
Dm (xx0231@1)         Am (x02210@1) Of one who reached & got her
Am (x02210@1)            C (x32010@1) Well if there was well I think
Dm (xx0231@1)           Am (x02210@1) He sleeps beneath the water

Am (x02210@1)             C (x32010@1) Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary
Dm (xx0231@1)          Am (x02210@1) A tune that all can carry
Am (x02210@1)            C (x32010@1) Burly says if we don't sing
Dm (xx0231@1)               AmThen (x02210@1)we won't have anything



Very cool "sailor song" from Will Oldham's 1999 album I See A Darkness. 
Enjoy the chord interpretation! ~ettawhy
