C                 G      C
I'll swim and sail on savage seas
                     G    C
With ne'er a fear of drowning.
    C                G        Am
And gladly ride the waves of life
   F              G Am
If you will marry me.


[Chorus]
   F                   C
No scorching sun, nor freezing cold
       F            C   G
Will stop me on my journey
   F                C   G      Am
If you will promise me your heart.
    F            G
And love me for eternity.


[Verse 2]
   C              G       C
My dearest one, my darling dear,
                  G       C
Your mighty words astound me.
    C              G      C
But I've no need of mighty deeds
       F         G      C
When I feel your arms around me.

    C                G        C
But I would bring you rings of gold,
                  G
I'd even sing you poetry!
    C                F    G    Am
And I would keep you from all harm
   G               C
If you would stay beside me!


[Chorus]
  F                C
I have no use for rings of gold,
    F                C
I care not for your poetry.
  F              C    G   Am
I only want your hand to hold...
  F    C         G    C
I only want you near me!


[Bridge]
     D                 A       D
To love and kiss, to sweetly hold!
        D                 A      D
For the dancing and the dreaming!
        D                   A     D
Through all life's sorrows and delights,
     A                D
I'll keep your love inside me!


[Chorus]
     G                  D
I'll swim and sail on savage seas
     G                A
With ne'er a fear of drowning!
    G               D     A  Bm
And gladly ride the waves of life
   G        A     Bm
If you will marry me...
   G        A     D
If you qill marry me!
