[Verse]
D C G
What will you do, love, when I am going
C G Am G
With white sails flowing, the seas beyond?
C D C G
What will you do, love, when waves divide us
C G Am G
And friends they chide us for being fond?
[Verse]
D C G C Am
Though waves divide us, and friends be chiding
D7 G C D
In faith abiding, I'll still be true
G C D C G
And I'll pray for you on the stormy ocean
D C G Am G
In deep devotion, that's what I'll do
[Verse]
C D C G
What would you do, love, if distant tidings
C G Am G
Your fond confidings should undermine?
C D C G
And I, abiding 'neath sultry skies
C G Am G
Should think other eyes were as bright as thine?
[Verse]
D C G C Am
Oh, say it not__, though guilt and shame
D7 G C D
Were on your name, I would still be true
G C D C G
But that heart of yours, should another share it
D C G Am G
I could not bear it, what would I do?
[Verse]
C D C G
What would you do, love, when home returning
C G Am G
With hopes high burning, with wealth for you
C D C G
If my barque which bounded o'er the foreign foam
C G Am G
Should be lost near home__? What would you do?
[Verse]
D C G C Am
So you were spared, I'd bless the morrow
D7 G C D
In want and sorrow, that left me you
G C D C G
And I'd welcome you from the wasting billow
D C G Am G
My heart, your pillow, that's what I'll do
