Lyrics and guitar chords
A
I am a young fellow who sD
ails a salt seaE
Byhearted wherever I roaA
mA
Until thine sweet Anne frD
om the town of TraleeE
And now I think only of A
homeA
When I am out on the oceD
an there farE
I dream that I’m holdingA
her tightA
For her I would raid theD
moon and the starsE
Just to lie in her armsA
through the nightD
Oh if I hE
ad the wings A
of an eagle A
A
I'd fly D
to my love onE
the shore E
A
And neveD
r again wouldE
I leave her E
B
For she is E
the girl I aA
doreB

my love on E
the shore E

And never D
again wouldE
