The Blacksmith chords by Foster And Allen

Verse 1:
  A                     E                             A
Twenty years ago last Christmas, came a temper to my wife
          F#              E         B     D         B        E
Stole the only flower I cherished, and I vowed I'd have his life
A                        E                                 A
In the street one day I met him, in my eyes that villain grinned
          F#                 E            B      D         B     E
Then the course of Cain came o'er me, 't was on that very day I sinned.

Chorus:
 E      A                                D        B
Sure I dreamed as the hammer strikes the anvil
 D      E                                A      E
And I dream as the sparks light on the floor
D      A                E                           A
Of my true eyed turtle dove, she's the only girl I love
         E                C#m              A
As she stood outside that good old smithy door.

Verse 2:
  A                                E                            A
Twelve months passed then came my trial, in the court I saw my wife
       F#                E       B        D        B      E
And I heard her beg for mercy, when they sentenced me for life.
 A                                E                               A
For twelve long years I read her letters, the only comfort I can tell,
        F#                 E         B       D          B       E
When I heard that she was dying, 't was then my lonely spirits fell.

Chorus:
 E      A                                D        B
Sure I dreamed as the hammer strikes the anvil
 D      E                                A      E
And I dream as the sparks light on the floor
D      A                E                           A
Of my true eyed turtle dove, she's the only girl I love
         E                C#m              A
As she stood outside that good old smithy door.

Verse 3:
 A                           E                                A
Late one night I dodged the warder, over the prison wall I sprang
         F#                 E     B        D      B       E
Then go home foot sore and weary, at the breaking of the dawn.
 A                        E                                 A
She was glad, so glad to see me, in my arms that night she died,
          F#                E        B        D        B       E
Then the warder rushed the doorway, and they found me there inside.
  A                         E                            A
When they saw her lifeless body, and I kneeling on the floor
            F#              E         B         D           B        E
They said "Jack my lad we trust you, come back when you've laid her low."

Chorus:
 E      A                                D        B
Sure I dreamed as the hammer strikes the anvil
 D      E                                A      E
And I dream as the sparks light on the floor
D      A                E                           A
Of my true eyed turtle dove, she's the only girl I love
         E                C#m              A
As she stood outside that good old smithy door.
