[Verse]
                  D          C      G
What will you do, love, when I am going
                 C   G        Am     G
With white sails flowing, the seas beyond?
              C   D          C            G
What will you do, love, when waves divide us
                 C     G      Am    G
And friends they chide us for being fond?

[Verse]
       D       C    G                  C   Am
Though waves divide us, and friends be chiding
   D7     G            C        D
In faith abiding, I'll still be true
         G        C   D      C       G
And I'll pray for you on the stormy ocean
   D      C G            Am        G
In deep devotion, that's what I'll do

[Verse]
               C   D        C          G
What would you do, love, if distant tidings
             C  G           Am   G
Your fond confidings should undermine?
        C  D          C         G
And I, abiding 'neath sultry skies
                   C    G       Am        G
Should think other eyes were as bright as thine?

[Verse]
    D      C  G                    C Am
Oh, say it not__, though guilt and shame
     D7      G             C        D
Were on your name, I would still be true
         G        C      D       C            G
But that heart of yours, should another share it
  D         C    G        Am      G
I could not bear it, what would I do?

[Verse]
               C   D          C          G
What would you do, love, when home returning
                C   G         Am         G
With hopes high burning, with wealth for you
                   C   D            C         G
If my barque which bounded o'er the foreign foam
                    C  G         Am        G
Should be lost near home__? What would you do?

[Verse]
   D        C  G                  C  Am
So you were spared, I'd bless the morrow
   D7       G            C       D
In want and sorrow, that left me you
        G       C   D        C          G
And I'd welcome you from the wasting billow
   D           C  G           Am        G
My heart, your pillow, that's what I'll do
