📚 Save with the Sea Shanties Pack Vol.1 or the Premium Accordion Pack
Leave Her Johnny is one of the most moving and nostalgic sea shanties in the English-speaking maritime tradition. Sung by sailors at the end of a voyage, as they left the ship for the last time, this farewell song expresses relief, melancholy, and solidarity among seafarers. Its slow and poignant melody contrasts with more festive sea shanties, offering a rare emotional depth. Revitalized by the TikTok sea shanty craze in 2021, it now reaches an audience far beyond folk music enthusiasts. This 4/5 level sheet music offers an expressive and technical challenge ideal for advanced accordionists wishing to explore the full depth of this sea song.
Note for accordion sheet music only:
Our sheet music does not include fingering indications in order to suit all types of keyboards. It is compatible with all non-diatonic accordions on the right hand, whether a C system button keyboard, a piano keyboard or any other chromatic system.
For the left hand, the sheet music uses the Stradella bass system, with fundamental basses and chords grouped by button (major, minor, seventh), a standard system found on the vast majority of accordions worldwide.
