The Holy Ground (Listen to midi) (Listen to sample)

D A D A D

1. Adieu to you, my Dinah, a thousand times adieu,

G

for we're going away from the Holy Ground

D A

and the girls that we love true.

D A D G - A

We will sail the salt sea over and then return for su…re,

D G D A D

to see again the girls we love and the Holy Ground once more.

Fine girl you are!

D G - A

You're the girl I do ado.…re,

D G D A D

and still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more.

Fine girl you are!

D A D A D

2. And now the storm is raging and we are far from shore,

G D A

and the good old ship is tossing about and the riggin' is all tore.

D A D G - A

And the secret of my mind, my dear, you're the girl I do ad…ore,

D G D A D

and still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more.

+ CHORUS

D A D A D

3. And now the storm is over, we are safe and well,

G D A

we'll go into a public house and we'll sit and drink like hell.

D A D G - A

We will drink strong ale and porter and make the rafters ro…..ar,

D G D A D

and when our money is all spent, we'll go to sea once more.

+ C HORUS
