     Em               D      Em 
I'll swim and sail on savage seas 
                     D    G 
With ne'er a fear of drowning. 
    Em              D        Em 
And gladly ride the waves of life 
   D              C Em 
If you will marry me. 

   Em                 D        Em 
No scorching sun, nor freezing cold 
                   D   G 
Will stop me on my journey 
   Em               D       Em 
If you will promise me your heart. 
    C            D 
And love me for eternity. 

   Em              D       Em 
My dearest one, my darling dear, 
                  D       G 
Your mighty words astound me. 
    Em              D      Em 
But I've no need of mighty deeds 
       D              C      Em 
When I feel your arms around me. 

    Em                D        Em 
But I would bring you rings of gold, 
                  D  G 
I'd even sing you poetry!  
    Em               D        Em 
And I would keep you from all harm 
   D                C    Em 
If you would stay beside me! 

  Em              D        Em 
I have no use for rings of gold, 
                    D  G 
I care not for your poetry. 
  Em             D       Em 
I only want your hand to hold... 
  D             C    Em 
I only want you near me! 

   F#m               E         F#m 
To love and kiss, to sweetly hold! 
        F#m             E   A 
For the dancing and the dreaming! 
        F#m                E     F#m 
Through all life?s sorrows and delights, 
     E                 D   F#m 
I?ll keep your love inside me! 

     F#m              E      F#m 
I?ll swim and sail on savage seas 
     F#m             E   A 
With ne'er a fear of drowning! 
    F#m             E        F#m 
And gladly ride the waves of life 
   E              D F#m 
If you will marry me! 


The weirder stuff at the end is just the same as above but up two half steps, so you can play it 
according to the original chord pattern if you like to make it easier. Anyway, hope everyone likes it!
