Verse 1:
D Oh captain tell me true G D Does my sailor sail with you G D No, he does not sail with me A D He sleeps on the bottom of the seaD What did the deep sea say G D Tell me, what did the deep sea say G It moaned and groaned D And it splashed and it foamed A D And it rolled on its weary wayVerse 2:
D Well, he promised he'd write to me G D But his promise he never kept true G D Never a word from my sailor have I heard A D Since he sailed on that ocean blueD What did the deep sea say G D What did the deep sea say G It moaned and groaned D And it splashed and it foamed A D And it rolled on its weary wayVerse 3:
D A beautiful rose today G D I placed on the crest of the waves G Said "Take it please D And let the petals fall A D Above his watery grave.Instrumental: |D |D |G |D |G |D |G |D |D |DD What did the deep sea say G D Tell me, what did the deep sea say G It moaned and groaned D And it splashed and it foamed A D And it rolled on its weary wayD Oh what did the deep sea say G D What did the deep sea say G It moaned and groaned D And it splashed and it foamed A D And it rolled on its weary way D What did the deep sea say G D Tell me, what did the deep sea say G It moaned and groaned D And it splashed and it foamed A D And it rolled on its weary way
