[Verse 1]
A Amaj7 A
Well, there once was a lofty ship that sailed upon the sea
D Bm E
the name of the ship it was The Golden Vanity
A Amaj7 A
and then one day she came upon the Spanish enemy
Bm E
as she sailed upon the Lowlands,
A
Lowlands low,
D E A
as she sailed upon the Lowlands low.
[Verse 2]
A Amaj7 A
Well up spoke the cabin boy of only twelve and three
D Bm E
he said to the captain, now what would you give to me
A Amaj7 A
if I were to swim up to the Spanish enemy
Bm E
and sink here in the Lowlands,
A
Lowlands low,
D E A
and sink her in the Lowlands low.
[Chorus]
E A
In the Lowlands, in the Lowlands
D E A
and sink her in the Lowlands low.
[Verse 3]
A Amaj7 A
Well I will give you silver, and I will give you gold
D Bm E
if you should attempt a deed so daring and so bold
A Amaj7 A
oh, and me lovely daughter's hand in marriage you shall hold
Bm E
if you sink her in the Lowlands,
A
Lowlands low,
D E A
and sink her in the Lowlands low.
[Chorus]
E A
In the Lowlands, in the Lowlands
D E A
and sink her in the Lowlands low.
[Verse 4]
A Amaj7 A
Then the young cabin boy jumped straight into the sea
D Bm E
and with a rope around his waist, he swam up to the enemy
A Amaj7 A
and with the hammer bored a hole and then another three
Bm E
and he sunk her in the Lowlands,
A
Lowlands low,
D E A
and he sunk her in the Lowlands, low.
[Instrumental]
A Amaj7 A
D Bm E
A Amaj7 A
Bm E A
D E A
[Chorus]
E A
In the Lowlands, in the Lowlands
D E A
he sunk her in the Lowlands low.
[Verse 5]
A Amaj7 A
Well oh me captain I have done the deed you asked of me
D Bm E
I have sunk the Spanish ship into the briny sea
A Amaj7 A
so won't you throw a ladder down or drowned I shall be
Bm E
cause I'm sinking in the Lowlands,
A
Lowlands low,
D E A
I'm sinking in the Lowlands low.
[Verse 6]
A Amaj7 A
But, to the drowning cabin boy, the captain paid no heed
D Dm
cause he had made a promise that he never meant to keep ... [pause]
A Amaj7 A
his daughter he would marry to a man with wealth to reap
Bm E
so he left him in the Lowlands,
A
Lowlands low,
D E A
he left him in the Lowlands low.
[Chorus]
E A
In the Lowlands, in the Lowlands
D E A
he left him in the Lowlands low.
[Outro]
E A
In the Lowlands, in the Lowlands
D D/A D/B Esus4/B E A
he left him in the Low- lands low.
