Among The Oak And Ash - The Housewife's Lament
[Intro]
G C G D G C G D
[Verse 1]
G C G
Last night in my dreams I was stationed forever
Em D G
On a far little rock in the midst of the sea
C G
My one chance at life was a ceaseless endeavour
Em D G
To sweep off the waves as they swept over me
[Chorus]
C G
Oh, life is a toil and love is trouble
D G
Beauty will fade and riches will flee
C G
Pleasures may dwindle and prices they double
D G C G D
And nothing is as nothing should be
[Verse 2]
G C G
There's too much of worriment that goes to the bonnet
Em D G
There's too much of ironing that goes to the shirt
C G
There's nothing that pays for the time you waste on it
Em D G
There's nothing that lasts but the trouble and dirt
[Chorus]
C G
Oh, life is a toil and love is trouble
D G
Beauty will fade and riches will flee
C G
Pleasures may dwindle and prices they double
D G C G D
And nothing is as nothing should be
[Instrumental]
