[Verse 1]
A                        D
I am a young fellow who sails a salt sea
E                        A
 Byhearted wherever I roam
A                         D
 Until thine sweet Anne from the town of Tralee
E                        A
 And now I think only of home
A                        D
 When I am out on the ocean there far
E                        A
 I dream that I’m holding her tight
A                        D
 For her I would raid the moon and the stars
E                       A
 Just to lie in her arms through the night

[Chorus]
D         E            A             A
 Oh if I had the wings of an eagle
A        D            E          E
 I'd fly to my love on the shore
A        D            E            E
 And never again would I leave her
B           E           A
 For she is the girl I adore
B           E          A

[Verse 2]
A                        D
 They married that spring and contented were they
E                        A
 As only true lovers can be
A                        D
 But his captain did call That he had to obey
E                        A
 And return one last time to the sea

[Chorus]
D          E            A             A
 Oh if I had the wings of an eagle
A          D           E              E
 I'd fly to my love on the shore
A          D          E               E
 And never again would I leave her
B             E          A
For she is the girl I adore
B             E          A

[Verse 3]
A                         D
 A storm it is raging The sails are all torn
E                          A
 Our ship it is far from the land
A                         D
 I grieve for my life Though I face death with scorn
E                         A
 But I grieve ten times more for sweet Anne

[Chorus]
D           E          A             A
 Oh if I had the wings of an eagle
A           D         E             E
 I'd fly to my love on the shore
A           D         E             E
 And never again would I leave her
B             E                A
 For she is the girl I adore

B                        E
 Sometimes in the night She'll go down to the sea
F#                        B
 Call out his name from the shore

Oh if I had the wings of an eagle
B         E          F#            F#
 I'd fly to my love on the shore
