GCGC
[Verse]
DCG
What will you do, love, when I am going
CGAmG
With white sails flowing, the seas beyond?
CDCG
What will you do, love, when waves divide us
CGAmG
And friends they chide us for being fond?
[Verse]
DCGCAm
Though waves divide us, and friends be chiding
D7GCD
In faith abiding, I'll still be true
GCDCG
And I'll pray for you on the stormy ocean
DCGAmG
In deep devotion, that's what I'll do
[Verse]
CDCG
What would you do, love, if distant tidings
CGAmG
Your fond confidings should undermine?
CDCG
And I, abiding 'neath sultry skies
CGAmG
Should think other eyes were as bright as thine?
[Verse]
DCGCAm
Oh, say it not__, though guilt and shame
D7GCD
Were on your name, I would still be true
GCDCG
But that heart of yours, should another share it
DCGAmG
I could not bear it, what would I do?
[Verse]
CDCG
What would you do, love, when home returning
CGAmG
With hopes high burning, with wealth for you
CDCG
If my barque which bounded o'er the foreign foam
CGAmG
Should be lost near home__? What would you do?
[Verse]
DCGCAm
So you were spared, I'd bless the morrow
D7GCD
In want and sorrow, that left me you
GCDCG
And I'd welcome you from the wasting billow
DCGAmG
My heart, your pillow, that's what I'll do
