      C               F             C                    D                           G7     
My Bonnie lies over the ocean       My Bonnie lies over the sea

      C                F            C       A7     D7                 G7           C  
My Bonnie lies over the ocean        Bring back my Bonnie to me

 C                F        D           G7                                  C        
Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my Bonnie to me, to me

C7               F       D             G7                                   C 
Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my Bonnie to me

 

          C             F                    C                  D                                      G7
I had eyes for  Captain Ted’s daughter He pointed and called me by name

      C              F               C      A7          D7            G7          C 
He said she’s got a big  belly        and sailor your surely to blame 

                                                                                      CHORUS

 

C               F                  C              D                                     G7 
Later she showed us a baby  the mates spittin’ image was he

   C                    F                    C        A7     D7             G7                  C
 I laughed and danced in the foc’sle        I really had thought it was me

                                                                                         CHORUS

 

       C              F               C                               D             G7
Last night as I lay in the foc’sle last night as I lay on my bed

   C            F              C           A7       D7              G7                C
I stuck my feet out the porthole,      by morning the seagulls were dead

                                                                                                CHORUS
