Intro E, C# F# B E
I[E] once stood [C#]in a[F# harbour, as a [B]ship was going [E]out,
On a voyage un[G#m]to a [F#port be[A]yond the [E]sea.
I watched the [C#]blue-clad [F#]sailor, as he [B]bade his last fare[E]well
To the lassie [G#m]who he [F#]loved most [B]tender[E]ly.
I heard the [C#]sailor [F#]promise to the [B]lassie now in [E]tears,
"When the fields are [G#m]white with [F#]daisies [B]I'll re[E]turn,
[E]"When the fields are white with [F#]daisies, and the [B]roses bloom a[E]gain,
Let the love light [G#m]in your [F#]heart most [E]brightly burn,
For I love you, [C#]sweetheart, [F#]only, and re[B]member when you're [E]lonely,
When the fields are [G#m]white with [F#]daisies [B]I'll re[E]turn."
For the [F]news she [Gm]heard that morning, that the [C]ship had sailed a[F]way,
And would anchor at the [Gm]harbor [C]ne'er a[F]gain,
Alone she [Gm]stood there weeping, for the [C]one she mourned as[F] dead,
When a voice be[A]side her [Gm]whispered, [C]"Mol[F]ly dear,
God has spared me for your keeping, and the promise once I made,
When the fields are white with daisies I'll return,
[Gm]God has spared me for your keeping,[C] and the promise [F]once I made
[A]When the fields are[Gm] white with [C]daisies [F]I'll return
[C#]"When the [F#]fields are [B]white with [G#m]daisies and the [C#]roses bloom a[F#]gain,
Let the love light in your [G#m]heart most [C#]brightly[F#] burn,
For I love you, [B]sweetheart, [G#m]only, and re[C#]member when you're [F#]lonely,
When the fields are [B]white with [G#m]daisies[C#]I'll re[F#]turn."
(I'll return)
