	A	E	F#m	D
I will	live my	life as a	lobsterman's	wife

	A	E
He will	take care of	me,

	F#m	D
he will	smell like the	sea,

	A	E	A
And	close to my	heart he'll always	stay.

	A	E	F#m	D
I will	bear three	girls all with	strawberry	curls,

	A	E	A	E
little	Ella and	Nelly and	Faye.

	E	F#m	A
Far a	way far away, I want to	go fa	r away.

And I	think he's the	tops,

	F#m	D
he's where	everything	stops.

	A	E	A	E
How I	love to	love him from	afar.

	A	E	F#m	D
When he	walks right pass	me then I	finally	see

	A	E
on this	bar stool I can't	stay.

So I'm	taking my	frown to a	far distant	town

	A	E	A
On an	island	in the blue	bay.
