Verse 1

G                                C
I'm thinking tonight of my blues eyes
       D7                   G
Who is sailing all over the sea
                               C
Oh I'm thinking tonight of you only
      D7                           G
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me

Verse 2

                               C
Could been better for us if we never
        D7                        G
In this wide and wicked world had never met
                                C
Oh the pleasures we both seemed together
     D7                      G
I am sure of love I'll never forget

Verse 3

                                       C
Oh you told me once dear that you love me
        D7                           G
And you promised that we never would part
                                 C
But a link in the chain has been broken
        D7                       G
Leaving me with a sad and aching heart

Verse 1

G                                C
I'm thinking tonight of my blues eyes
       D7                   G
Who is sailing all over the sea
                               C
Oh I'm thinking tonight of you only
      D7                           G
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me

Verse 4

                                    C
When the cold cold ground is around me
      D7                              G
Won't you come dear and shed just one tear
                                C
And say to the strangers around you
        D7                         G
Of your heart you have broken last year
