Capo 2

[ Am ]           [ G ]         [ Em ]     [ F ]
I once knew a maiden, Her story is sad
[ Am ]           [ Em ]          [ Am ]        [ Em ]
She loved a young sailor, a brave sailor lad
[ Am ]           [ Em ]          [ Am ]     [ Em ]
He courted her daily, By night and by day
         [ Am ]        [ G ]          [ Em ]       [ F ]
Till at last the young sailor, He sailed far away

(chorus)

[ Am ]         [ G ]            [ Em ]          [ F ]
If I were a blackbird, I'd whistle and sing
[ Am ]         [ Em ]          [ Am ]          [ Em ]
A long loving story, to him i would bring
[ Am ]         [ Em ]           [ Am ]         [ Em ]
Id tell him my sorrows, my grief and my woes
[ Am ]          [ G ]           [ Em ]         [ F ]
And when I go and find him , Id crown him with gold
