The Louvin Brothers - A Seamans Girl Chords

[Intro]
E B7 E E
 
 
[Verse 1]
E              B7           E
She stands all alone on the seashore
E            A              E
As the waves plain near her feet
A                        E
Looking over the distant horizon
E                 B      E
At a ship in this silent retreat
 
 
[Verse 2]
E             B           E
As a sad moon shines down upon her
E              A    E
She whispers a fond farewell
E      A             E
To the man she loves aboard the ship
E           B        E
For she's a seaman's girl

[Verse 3]
E                       B            E
A seaman's girl lives a life that is lonely
E                A           E
While her man is gone out to sea
E   A                             E          A
The smile that she wears as she's seeing him on
A        E        B7            E
Seems to hide her fuse and misery
 
 
[Verse 4]
E     A                           E
And a love that she bears for her seafaring man
E    A               E
Will live on for evermore
E          A             E            B
Though the life he loved lives on the sea
E              A      E
And hers lives on the shore
 
 
[Verse 5]
E           A            E
True is the love that is burning
E                 B7       E
In the heart of a seaman's girl
E        A                     E
It's the waiting again but she never complain
E                          A           E
She wouldn't trade him for all of this world
 
 
[Verse 6]
E             A              E
Her tears she hides from her seaman
E                     A    E
Though they may never kiss nomore
E                       A            E            A7
While he meets with the dangers of a deep rolling sea
A7         E         A           E
A seaman's girl must wait on the shore
