F#m     D
Ooh, my Adeline
A     Bm     E   F#m
Hmmm--mmm--mmm--mmm
F#m         D
Down in Tasmania
           A                        Bm E
Where the devil's jaws are far too weak
              F#m
to tear you away

Chorus:
E               Bm   D
Ooh, I wish you well
            A  E
I wish you well
           Bm  D
I wish you well
            A   E
I wish you well

Ooh, my Adeline
I watch your morning swim again
Ooh, Kodachrome blue sky
Strokes from patch to warm patch
My sweet Adeline

Chorus:
Ooh, I wish you well (My Adeline)
I wish you well
I wish you well (My Adeline)
I wish you well

And the old triangle went jingle-jangle
All along the Royal Canal
My Adeline was swimming; sweet Adeline was singing
To the tune of the Royal Canal

          D        A        G       F#m
She's a swim, swimmer, swimmer, swimmer
  D       A         G        D
Swim, swimmer, swimmer, swimmer

 Bm               D
(Yah-yah-yah-yah, yah-yah-yah)
     A                E
(Yah yah-yah-yah-yah, yah-yah-yah)
 Bm               D
(Yah-yah-yah-yah, yah-yah-yah)
     A                E
(Yah yah-yah-yah-yah, yah-yah-yah)

        Bm                 D
And the old triangle went jingle-jangle
      A                E
All along the Royal Canal
    Bm                          D
My Adeline was swimming, sweet Adeline was singing
        A                   E
To the tune of the Royal Canal

I wish her well (My Adeline)
I wish her well
I wish her well (My Adeline)
I wish her well
I wish her well
