John Riley chords
The Byrds (English folk song) *

Dm       G      Dm
Fair young maid all in her garden
Dm        G      Dm
Strange young man came riding by
          F   Em       C
Saying: fair young maid, will you marry me?
      Em       Dm
This then, sir, was her reply

Dm       G        Dm
Oh no, kind sir, I cannot marry thee
Dm       G            Dm
For I've a love who sails the deep salt sea
         F  Em     C
Though he's been gone these seven years
     Em       Dm
Still no man shall marry me

Dm        G          Dm
What if he's died all in some battle slain
Dm        G           Dm
Or if he's drowned in, in the deep salt sea?
       F   Em     C
What if he's found some other love
      Em          Dm
He and his new love both married be?

Dm      G      Dm
If he's found some other love
Dm        G       Dm
He and his new love both married be
      F   Em    C
I wish them health and happiness
        Em         Dm
Where they have love far across the sea

Dm       G      Dm
He picked her up all in his arms
Dm        G       Dm
And kisses gave her one, two and three
       F   Em     C
Then weep no more, my own true love
     Em       Dm
I am your long lost John Riley
        F   Em     C
Saying: weep no more, my own true love
       Em       Dm
For I'm your long lost John Riley
