  			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

Oh 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 

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
