Oh, her (Em) soul,                       is inconsolable.

It’s gotta be (D) blue,                     it’s gotta be (Em) blue.

And her (Em) heart,                       is uncontrollable.

It’s gotta be (D) true,                     it’s gotta be (Em) true.

           

She’s (D) out over the water,        she’s (Em) out upon the land.

She’s (D) wandering, my dottir,      I’m (Em) holding out my hand.

           

And her (Em) highs,                      are unassailable.

 They’ve gotta be (D) sky,             they’ve gotta be (Em) sky.

 But her (Em) lows,                         are oh so wail-able.

 They’re making her (D) cry,         they’re making her (Em) cry.

           

And (D) when I see my dottir,       I (Em) hope she’ll understand.

 I (D) want to see her walking,       a (Em) child upon each hand.

           

Oh, her (Em) soul,                          is inconsolable.

 It’s gotta be (D) blue,                     it’s gotta be (Em) blue.

 And her (Em) heart,                       is uncontrollable.

 It’s gotta be (D) true,                     it’s gotta be (Em) true.

 Oh, her (Em) soul,                          is inconsolable.

 It’s gotta be (D) blue,                     it’s gotta be (Em) blue.
