[Verse 1]
[F#][G][Em][C][D][Em]
[C]Low[D]lan[G]d,[Em]
Lowland,
We [C]sailed along the [D]Lowland [G]Sea.
Oh, there was a ship
that sailed down to High Barbary,
[D]And the name of the ship
was the Gallant Argosy.
We [G]feared she would be captured
by the Spanish enemy
As [D]she sailed along the lowland,
[G]lowland, [Em]lowland
She [D]sailed along the lowland [G]sea
Then up stepped the youngest maid
and boldly up spoke he
An[D]d he said unto the captain,
what do you have for me?
If I [G]swim up to the side
of the Spanish enemy,
[D]And sink her in the lowland,
low[G]land, [Em]lowland,
And [C]sink her in the [D]lowland [G]sea.
Oh, I will give you diamonds
and pockets full of gold
[D]An d my own fair daughter,
your bonnie bride to hold
If you [G]swim up to the side
of the Spanish enemy
And [D]sink her in the lowland,
[G]lowland, [Em]lowland
And sink her in the [D]lowland [G]sea
Then the matey made him ready,
and he left the Argosy,
[D]and he swam through the water
and sank the enemy.
Then [G]quickly he swam back,
but the captain did not see,
[D]and he left him in [G]the lowland.[Em]
Lowland, lowland,
he left him in the [D]lowland [G]sea.
Then the crew, pulled him out,
but upon the deck he died.
[D]So they stitched him in his hammock,
and took him to the side.
Then they [G]put him out to rest,
and he drifted with the tide.
[D]And he sank into the lowland,
low[G]land, [Em]lowland.
He sank in[D]to the lowland [G]sea
Lowland, [Em]lowland
He sank [D]into the low[Em]land [D]sea[G]
