       D                              G               D                                                 
Once I loved your fond affection, all my hopes on you was spent, 
       G                 D       A                 D 
till a dark-eyed girl persuaded, and you care no more for me. 

          D                           G                D             
Go on and leave me, if you wish to, never let me cross your mind, 
        G             D              A                   D           
in your heart to love another, never on earth will I call you mine. 
   D       A   A7  D 
Joolayeeoh, layeeay, layee! 

         D                          G                 D                                                      
When I'm dead and in my coffin, and my pale face towards the sun, 
         G            D          A                  D                                          
will you come and sit beside me, and think of what you've done 

          D                           G                D                                            
Go on and leave me, if you wish to, never let me cross your mind, 
        G            D               A                   D                     
in your heart to love another, never on earth will I call you mine. 
   D       A    A7  D 
Joolayeeoh, layeeay, layee! 

         D                         G              D                                                
When I'm dead and in my coffin, and the shroud about me bows, 
        G              D    A                 D            
will you come and scatter roses upon your lover's mound. 

          D                         G                 D                                             
Go on and leave me, if you wish to, never let me cross your mind, 
        G            D               A                   D           
in your heart to love another, never on earth will I call you mine. 
   D       A   A7  D 
Joolayeeoh, layeeay, layee!
