Capo on 4th Fret

As I went out one morning, to breathe the air around Tom Paine's
DmDm C majorC DmDm C majorC DmDm
I spied the fairest damsel, that ever did walk in chains
FF A minorAm DmDm C majorC DmDm
I offer'd her my hand, she took me by the arm
DmDm C majorC DmDm C majorC DmDm
I knew that very instant, she meant to do me harm
DmDm C majorC DmDm C majorC DmDm
Depart from me this moment, I told her with my voice
DmDm C majorC DmDm C majorC DmDm
Said she, "But I don't wish to, said I, but you have no choice
FF A minorAm DmDm C majorC DmDm
I beg you, sir, she pleaded, from the corners of her mouth
DmDm C majorC DmDm C majorC DmDm
I will secretly accept you, and together we'll fly south
DmDm C majorC DmDm C majorC DmDm
Just then Tom Paine, himself, came running from across the field
DmDm C majorC DmDm C majorC DmDm
Shouting at this lovely girl, and commanding her to yield
FF A minorAm DmDm C majorC DmDm
And as she was letting go her grip, up Tom Paine did run
DmDm C majorC DmDm C majorC DmDm
I'm sorry, sir, he said to me, I'm sorry for what she's done
