Am F Am G Am [Verse] N.C. Am G F C Em As I walked out one morning, all in the month of May Am G F Dm Am Down by a flowery garden, I carelessly did stray G F C Em I overheard a young maid, in sorrow did complain Am G F Dm Am All for her absent lover, who ploughs the raging main [Verse] G F C Em I boldly stepped up to her and put her in surprise Am G F Dm Am I know she did not know me, I being in disguise G F C Em I says, "Me charming creature, my joy, my heart's delight Am G F Dm Am How far have you to travel this dark and dreary night?" [Verse] G F C Em "I'm in search of a faithless young man, Johnny is his name Am G F Dm Am And along the Banks of Claudy, I'm told he does remain" G F C Em "This is the Banks of Claudy, fair maid, whereon you stand Am G F Dm Am But don't depend on Johnny, for he's a false young man G F C Em Oh, don't depend on Johnny, for he'll not meet you here Am G F Dm Am F Am Em Am But tarry with me in yon greenwood, no danger need you fear [Verse] G F C Em Oh, it's six long weeks or better since Johnny left the shore Am G F Dm Am He's crossing the wild ocean where the foam and the billows roar G F C Em He's crossing the wild ocean for honour and for fame Am G F Dm Am F But this I've heard, the ship was wrecked all on the coast of Spain" [Instrumental] Am C F Am C F Am G F [Verse] Am G F C Em Oh, it's when she heard this dreadful news, she flew into despair Am G F Dm Am By the wringing of her milk white hands and the tearing of her hair G F C Em "Say, if Johnny, he is drowned, no man on earth I'll take Am G F Dm Am But through lonesome groves and valleys, I'll wander for his sake" [Verse] G F C Em Oh, it's when he saw her loyalty, no longer could he stand Am G F Dm Am He flew into her arms saying, "Betsy, I'm the man" G F C Em Saying, "Betsy, I'm the young man, the cause of all your pain Am G F Dm Am F But since we've met on Claudy Banks, we'll never part again" [Outro] Am C F Am C F Am G F Am C F Am C F Am G F
