/ ys, /
/ G / / D / /
Let me / fish off / Cape St. / Mary's. / /

My / old Cape / Ann a - / glea - / min' / /

Where the / wild sands / roll, to the / surge's / toll,
/ D / G / A / G / /
Let me / be a / man and / take / it, / /
/ G / / D / /
When my / dory / fails to / make it. / /

Oh / take me ba - / ck to that / snug green cove, /
/ G / A / D /
Where the / seas roll / up their / thunder, /
/ G / D / / G
There / let me / rest, in the / Earth's cool / breast,
/ D / G / A / G / /
Where the / stars shine / out their / won - / der, / / and
/ G / / D / / /
The / seas roll / up their / thun - / der. / /
