Guitar chords with lyrics
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.

Twelve months passed then came my trial, in the court I saw my wife

And I heard her beg for mercy, when they sentenced me for life.

For twelve long years I read her letters, the only comfort I can tell,

When I heard that she was dying, 't was then my lonely spirits fell.

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.

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.
