Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I once knew a maiden, Her story is sad

She loved a young sailor, a brave sailor lad

He courted her daily, By night and by day

 Till at last the young sailor, He sailed far away

(chorus)

If I were a blackbird, I'd whistle and sing

A long loving story, to him i would bring

Id tell him my sorrows, my grief and my woes

And when I go and find him, Id crown him with gold
