Verso 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 sea
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
Verso 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 blue
D
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
Verso 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.
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
