KEY Eb

6    5  6    6   5  -6b
Shir-a-lee, Shir-a-lee

-4    5   4    -4    5  4
Walk with me, walk with me

4      4  -6b -5b -5b 6  -6b
With this bur-den by my side, 

-6b 6  6   4   -5b 5
I wan-der far and wide

4     -4     5  -5b -5b
And through the Out-back
 
-5b 5  -4  5
I have to roam

4    4 -6b -5b -5b -5b  6   -6b
But my sor-row she can-not tell
 
-6b     6  4  4  -5b  5
She's just a lit-tle girl

4      -4 -4   5   -5b 4    5  -4 4
Who's lone-ly like me with-out a home

6    5  6    6   5 -6b
Shir-a-lee, Shir-a-lee

-4    5   4    -4   5   4
Walk with me, walk with me

4   4   -6b -5b -5b 6    -6b
Oh how lone-ly she would be 

-6b -6b 6   4  -6   5b
If she was-n't with me

4   -4 -4 -4 5   -5b
But on-ly I can see 

-5b   -5b 5  -4  5
She's my Shir-a-lee

4   -6b  -5b  6  -6b
She slept in my arms 

-6b  -6b  6   4   -5b  5
From the time we did start

4     -4    -4  5  -5b
She's light in my arms

4    4  -4 4  4  -4  4
But so hea-vy in my heart

6    5  6    6   5  -6b
Shir-a-lee, Shir-a-lee
 
-4    5   4
Walk with me

-4 -4 -4 -4 -4
Ma ma ma ma ma 

-5  -4  4    -6   -6  7
Shir-a-lee, walk with me

ENJOY!!
