D
Oh captain tell me true
G                        D
Does my sailor sail with you
G                D
No, he does not sail with me
   A                           D
He sleeps on the bottom of the sea


[Chorus]
D               
What did the deep sea say
         G                     D 
Tell me, what did the deep sea say
   G          
It moaned and groaned
       D
And it splashed and it foamed
       A                   D
And it rolled on its weary way


[Verse 2]
         D
Well, he promised he'd write to me
        G                     D
But his promise he never kept true
G                    D
Never a word from my sailor have I heard
         A                    D   
Since he sailed on that ocean blue


[Chorus]
D
What did the deep sea say
G                     D
What did the deep sea say
   G
It moaned and groaned
       D                
And it splashed and it foamed
       A                   D
And it rolled on its weary way


[Verse 3]
  D
A beautiful rose today
  G                          D
I placed on the crest of the waves
G
Said "Take it please
    D
And let the petals fall
 A               D
Above his watery grave.


[Chorus]
D
What did the deep sea say
         G                     D 
Tell me, what did the deep sea say
   G         
It moaned and groaned
       D                
And it splashed and it foamed
       A                   D 
And it rolled on its weary way

Oh what did the deep sea say
G                     D 
What did the deep sea say
   G         
It moaned and groaned
       D                
And it splashed and it foamed
       A                   D 
And it rolled on its weary way


[Chorus]
D
What did the deep sea say
         G                     D 
Tell me, what did the deep sea say
   G         
It moaned and groaned
       D                
And it splashed and it foamed
       A                   D 
And it rolled on its weary way
