Fisher Lass

Cm Cm Calm be the sea by morning's first light, Cm As birds wings in feathered flight Eb B boldly stride gale an' gentle breeze Eb Cm To earn a crust from hostile seas - from hostile seas Cm Birds castin' eye to the lass in the surge Cm weeping a solemn dirge. Eb B her watery eyes doth tell no lies Eb Cm her sorrow's seen clear from the skies - clear from the skies Ab B Cm Oh please my love come back to me, Ab B Cm godspeed my love, my dear. Ab B Cm I pray you will come back to me Ab B Gm Your lonely fisher lass. Cm Her lovers fate at tempests swirl Cm Thus grieve our fisher girl Eb B the gulls they vow the oceans wide to scour Eb Cm bringing her news in darkest hour - in darkest hour Cm By noon the stricken ship was found Cm halted and run aground. Eb B On watered rocks that sharp as needles be honed Eb Cm Lay fisher boy by death now be owned - by death now be owned Ab B Cm Oh please my love come back to me, Ab B Cm godspeed my love, my dear. Ab B Cm I pray you will come back to me Ab B Gm Your lonely fisher lass. Cm Cm Eb B Eb Cm Cm Her locket so proud around his neck Cm Now loosened by skillful peck Eb B carried to the shore by solemn bill Eb Cm To fisher lass who stands there still - Who stands there still Ab B Cm Oh please my love come back to me, Ab B Cm godspeed my love, my dear. Ab B Cm I pray you will come back to me Ab B Gm Your lonely fisher lass. Cm Cm Eb B Eb Cm Cm Lalalala Cm Lalalala Eb B Lalalala Eb Cm Lalalala Cm Come next morn, a single white cloth Cm cradled in oceans froth. Eb B lovers by the cold dark waves now caressed, (Rit.) Eb Cm all left behind a fisher lass' dress - a fisher lass' dress
