[Verse 1]
      G                          D              Em
There was a ship that sailed all on the lowland sea
        C                        D
And the name of the ship was the Golden Vanity
       G                                D          Em
And we feared she would be taken by the Spanish enemy
       C               D        G  D     Em C
As she sailed upon the lowland, lowland, lowland
C               D       G
Sailed upon the lowland sea.


[Verse 2]
     G                          D                Em
Then up spoke our cabin boy and boldly out spoke he
       C                         D
And he said to our captain "What will you give to me
     G                          D          Em
If I swim along the side of the Spanish enemy
      C               D       G
And I sink her in the lowland sea?"
    G                          D               Em
"Oh I will give you silver and I will give you gold
        C                     D
And my own fair daughter your bonny bride shall be
          G                          D          Em
If you'll swim along the side of the Spanish enemy
           C               D        G  D     Em C
And you'll sink her in the lowland, lowland, lowland
C               D       G
Sink her in the lowland sea


[Verse 3]
         G                         D                Em
Then the boy he made him ready and overboard sprang he
       C                       D
And he swam to the side of the Spanish enemy
         G                              D           Em
With his brace and auger in her side he bored holes three
       C               D       G
And he sank her in the lowland sea
     G                           D               Em
Then quickly he swam back to the cheering of the crew
        C                               D
But the captain would not heed him, his promise he did rue
       G                                 D             Em
And he scorned his poor entreatings when loudly he did sue
    C               D        G  D     Em C
And left him in the lowland, lowland, lowland
C               D       G
Left him in the lowland sea

[Verse 4]
         G                          D                Em
Then the boy he turned round and he swam to the port side
    C                        D
And up to his messmates full bitterly he cried
     G                            D                  Em
"O messmates, draw me up, for I'm drifting with the tide
        C              D        G   D     Em C
And I'm sinking in the lowland, lowland, lowland
C              D       G
Sinking in the lowland sea"
         G                          D              Em
Then his messmates drew him up, but on the deck he died
         C                               D
And they stitched him in a hammock which was so fair and white
         G                             D                Em
And they low'red him overboard, and he drifted with the tide
       C             D        G  D     Em C
And he sank into the lowland, lowland, lowland
C             D       G
Sank into the lowland sea


[Verse 5/Outro]
      G                          D              Em
There was a ship that sailed all on the lowland sea
        C                        D
And the name of the ship was the Golden Vanity
       G                                D          Em
And we feared she would be taken by the Spanish enemy
       C               D        G  D     Em C
As she sailed upon the lowland, lowland, lowland
C               D       G
Sailed upon the lowland sea.
