(intro) E A E E A E B7 E
E
There's a lonely cottage by the sea side,
A E
where the water lilies strew the shore,
it was there I passed my happy childhood
B7
with a loved one that's gone before.
E E7 A E
Then give me back my dear old home, that old home by the sea,
A E
and I never will wander far away,
B7 E
from my home, my dear old cottage home.

E
Many years have passed since there I wandered,
A E
but the old cot ne'er has been forgot,
B7
and my heart in fancy oft returns to that dear old familiar spot.
( E A E B7 E E A E E A E B7 E )
E
Yes, my heart is like the humming sea shell
A E
that tells of its birth where e'er it roams,
I will sing of my cottage by the sea shore
B7
of my home my dear old cottage home.
E E7 A E
Then give me back my dear old home, that old home by the sea,
A E
and I never will wander far away,
B7 E
from my home, my dear old cottage home.
