[Intro]
C G C

[Verse]
Am Dm G
"The wind doth blow today, my love
F C G
And gently falls the rain
C Em F
I've never, ever had but one true love
C G C
Now in cold clay she is lain

[Verse]
Am Dm G
"I'll do as much for my true love
F C G
As any young man may
C Em F
I'll sit and weep all on her grave
C G C
For a twelve month and a day"

[Verse]
Am Dm G
The twelve month and a day being gone
F C G
A voice began to greet
C Em F
“Whose salten tears come trickling down
C G C
And wet my winding sheet?”

[Verse]
Am Dm G
"'Tis I, dear heart, thine own true love
F C G
Who sits upon your grave
C Em F
I wish for but one kiss from your clay cold lips
C G C
One kiss is all I crave"

[Verse]
Am Dm G
“Lily, lily are my lips
F C G
My breath comes earthy strong
C Em F
And had you but one kiss from my clay cold lips
C G C
Your time would not be long”

[Verse]
Am Dm G
"Down in yonder garden grove
F C G
My love, where we used to walk
C Em F
The fairest flower that ever I saw
C G C
Is withered to a stalk"

[Verse]
