                                                                         Chorus:
                                                                         My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold

                                                                         There is nothing can console me but my jolly sailor bold

                                                                         Verse 2:
                                                                         His hair it hangs in ringlets, his eyes as black as coal,

                                                                         May happiness attend him wherever he may go,

                                                                   From Tower Hill to Blackwall, I'll wander, weep and moan,

                                                    All for my jolly sailor until he sails home.

                                                    Chorus:
                                                    My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold

                                                    There is nothing can console me but my jolly sailor bold

                                                    Verse 3:
                                                    My father is a merchant - The truth I now will tell,

                                                    And in great London City in opulence doth dwell,

                                              His fortune doth exceed three-hundred-thousand gold,

                               And he frowns upon his daughter, 'cause she loves a sailor bold

                               Chorus (Maybe?):
                               A fig for his riches, his merchandize, and gold,

                               True love is grafted in my heart; give me my sailor bold:

                               Chorus:
                               My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold

                               There is nothing can console me but my jolly sailor bold

                               Chorus (Maybe? part 2):
                               Should he return in pov'rty, from o'er the ocean far,

                               To my tender bosom, I'll fondly press my jolly tar.

                               Verse 4:
                               My sailor is as smiling as the pleasant month of May,

                               And often we have wandered through Ratcliffe Highway,

                         Many a pretty blooming young girl we diid behold,

    Reclining on the bosom of her jolly sailor bold.

    Chorus:
    My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold

    There is nothing can console me but my jolly sailor bold

    Verse 5:
    My name it is Maria, a merchant's daughter fair,

    And I have left my parents and three thousand pounds a year                         Come all you pretty fair maids, whoever you may be

                                                                   Who love a jolly sailor bold that ploughs the raging sea

                                                    While up aloft, in storm or gale, from me his absense mourn,

                                                    And firmly pray, arrive the day, he home will safe return.

                                              Chorus:
                                              My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold

                         There is nothing can console me but my jolly sailor bold

          My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold

    There is nothing can console me but my jolly sailor bold

How to Read and Understand Guitar TAB

More Than Tabs

Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo

Audio Playback

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.

Dual Notation

Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.

Practice Tools

Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.
