Verse 
C                                  F    
Oh I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes  
       G                     C  
Who is sailing for over the sea  
                                 F  
Yes I'm thinking tonight of her only  
       G                        C  
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me  
C                                            F 
It would have been better for us both had we never  
             G                    C 
In this wide wicked world that we make  
                                  F 
For the pleasures we both seen together  
G                        C 
I'm a sure I will never forget  

C                                  F    
Oh I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes  
       G                     C  
Who is sailing for over the sea  
                                 F  
Yes I'm thinking tonight of her only  
       G                        C  
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me  
  
Verse 
C                                 F 
When the cold cold grave shall enclose her  
               G                     C 
When you come and you shed just one tear  
                                F 
And say to the strangers around you  
       G                          C 
Up the heart you have broken lies here  

C                                  F    
Oh I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes  
       G                     C  
Who is sailing for over the sea  
                                 F  
Yes I'm thinking tonight of her only  
       G                        C  
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me
