[Verse 1]
    C            G      C   C7    F                  
She stood on the beach alone  and gazed at the misty 
C
blue
C7       F                    C                      
Saying, "Sea, as you hold him to your breast, does he
            G       C
 mention my name to you?"
    C           G      C   C7 F                  C   C7
Oh, where is my sailor boy?   Where is my sailor boy?
    F                          C                    
He sleeps at the bottom of the deep blue sea and he 
           G       C
can't come back to me.

[Chorus]
    C             G        C                  G        
Oh, what does the deep sea say? What does the deep sea 
C
say?
   C         G          F               C
It moans, it groans, it splashes and it foams,
       C            G     C
And it rolls on its weary way

[Verse 2]
   C              G         C  C7       F        
Oh please tell me deep blue sea   is he sleeping 
        C  C7
peacefully
        F                        C                     
For the winds from the north are blowing icy cold. Can 
             G        C
you keep him warm for me?
   C       G        C   C7      F                   
If only my grieving soul   some token of love could 
C   C7
find
   F                    C                            
If only the waves could show me where he sleeps then 
               G       C
I'd leave this world behind.

[Chorus]
    C             G        C                  G        
Oh, what does the deep sea say? What does the deep sea 
C
say?
   C         G          F               C
It moans, it groans, it splashes and it foams,
       C            G     C
And it rolls on its weary way.

[Verse 3]
  C         G        C  C7   F                       C
A beautiful rose one day   I placed on the crest of a 
     C7
wave
           F                  C                        
And I said take it please and let it settle home above 
    G      C
his watery grave.
    C              G          C    C7       F          
The driftwood I've watched in vain,  and my rose never 
           C      C7
came back again
   F                  C                                
So waves take another message to my love tell him I'll 
G         C
meet him above.

[Outro]
    C             G        C                  G        
Oh, what does the deep sea say? What does the deep sea 
C
say?
   C         G          F               C
It guards and keeps my lover where he sleeps
N.C.                           C
And it rolls on its weary way.
