 D                         Asus4         D 
 As I rowed ashore from my schooner close by
                          G             A    Asus4 
 a girl on the beach sure I chanced to espy
 D                          G          A 
 her hair it was red and her bonnet was blue
 D             G           A         D 
 her place of abode was in Harbour Lecou

[D] Oh boldly I asked her to [Asus4] walk on the [D] sand
she smiled like an angel and [G] held out her [A] hand   [Asus4]
[D] so I buttoned me guernsey and [G] hoved way me [A] chew
[D] in the dark rolling [G ]waters of [A] Harbour [D] Lecou

Bm A X1

[D] My ship she lay anchored far [Asus4] out on the [D] tide
as I strode along with that [G] maid at my [A] side [Asus4]
[D} I told her I loved her I [G] said I'll be [A] true
[D] and I winked at the [G] moon over [A] Harbour [D] Lecou

Bm A| X4

[D] As we walked on the sands at the [Asus4] close of the [D] day
[D] I thought of my wife who was [G] home in [A] Torbay [Asus4]
[D] I knew that she'd kill me if [G] she only [A] knew
[D] I was courting this [G] lassie in [A] Harbour [D] Lecou

[D] As we passed a log cabin that [Asus4] stood on the [D] shore
[D] I met an old comrade I'd [G] sailed with [A] before [Asus4]
[D] he treated me kindly, saying [G] "Jack how are [A] you?
[D] Its seldom I [G] see you in [A] Harbour [D] Lecou"

Bm A| X1 

[D] And as I was parting this [Asus4] maiden in [D] tow
[D] he broke up my party with [G] one single [A] blow [Asus4]
[D] he said "regards to your missus and your [G] wee kiddies [A] too
[D] I remember her [G] well she's from [A] Harbour [D] Lecou "

 |C G|D A|C G|A Asus4| X2

[D] I looked at this damsel a [Asus4] standin' 'long [D] side
[D] her jaw it just dropped and her [G] mouth opened [A] wide [Asus4]
[D] and then like a she-cat [G] upon me she [A] flew
[D] and I fled from the [G] furies of [A] Harbour [D] Lecou

Bm A X4

[D] So come ye young sailors who [Asus4] walk on the [D] shore
[D] beware of old comrades you [G] sailed with [A] before [Asus4]
[D] beware of the maidens with the [G] bonnets of [A] blue
[D] and the pretty young [G] damsels of [A] Harbour [D] Lecou.
[D] And the pretty young [G] damsels of [A] Harbour [D] Lecou.
