One Spring Morning chords by Akron Family

Original in C = Capo 5


           G       Am        G
It was one morning // In the spring
          G     Am              G
I went on board // To serve the king
          F       C         G
I left my dearest // Dear behind
               G     Am               G
Who of'times told me // Her heart was mine


            G    Am                 G
When I came back // To her father's hall
     G    Am        G
Inquiring // For my jewel
          F      C        G
Her cruel father // This reply
          G    Am        G
Her momma says // If you deny

           G       Am         G
Oh she has married // Another man
         G   Am             G
A richer man // For all his life
         F   C              G
A richer man // For all his life
           G        Am            G
And he has made her // His lawful wife


instrumental: G Am G // G Am G // F C G // G Am G


            G    Am             G
O God curse gold // And silver, too
              G     Am                 G
And all false women // Who won't prove true
              F    C                G
For some will take // And then will break
            G    Am         G
All for the sake // Of richery


             G   Am                G
O stop young man // Don't talk too fast
             G     Am             G
The fault is great // But none of mine
             F     C              G
The fault is great // But none of mine
               G    Am               G
Don't speak so hard // Of the female kind


instrumental: G Am G // G Am G // F C G // G Am G


         G    Am                G
If I had gold // You might have part
          G    Am                  G
As I have none // You've gained my heart
                 F   C                   G
You've gained it all // With a free good will
           G    Am               G
So keep my vows // And hold them still


           G       Am           G
Since hard fortune // Around me frowns
               G     Am           G
I'll sail this ocean // Round and round
               F     C          G
I'll sail this ocean // Until I die
             G    Am                 G
I'll quit my ways // On the mountain high
