Verse 1:
DmDm           FF    C majorC
Cold blows the wind to my true love
DmDm          A minorAm
And gently drops the rain
DmDm       FF    C majorC
I only had but one true love
DmDm
And in Greenwood she lies slain

Verse 2:
FF          C majorC    A minorAm
I'll do as much for my true love
DmDm        A minorAm
As any young man may
DmDm          FF    C majorC
I'll sit and mourn along her grave
DmDm
For a twelve-month and a day

Verse 3:
DmDm               FF    C majorC
When the twelve months and one day was past
DmDm         A minorAm
The ghost began to speak:
DmDm           FF   C majorC
"Why sit thou'st here along my grave
DmDm
And will not let me sleep?"

Verse 4:
FF             C majorC     A minorAm
"There's one thing that I want, sweetheart
DmDm            A minorAm
There's one thing that I crave
DmDm              FF     C majorC
And that is a kiss from your lily white lips
DmDm
Then I'll go from your grave"

Verse 5:
DmDm          FF    C majorC
"My lips they are as cold as clay
DmDm            A minorAm
My breath smells earthy strong
DmDm         FF     C majorC
And if you kiss my cold clay lips
DmDm
Your days they won't be long"

Verse 6:
FF             C majorC  A minorAm
Go fetch me water from the desert
DmDm           A minorAm
And blood from out of stone
DmDm           FF      C majorC
Go fetch me milk from a fair maid's breast
DmDm
That a young man never had known"

Verse 7:
DmDm          FF  C majorC
'Twas down in Cupid's Garden
DmDm          A minorAm
Where you and I would walk
DmDm           FF   C majorC
The finest flower that ever I saw
DmDm
Is withered to a stalk

Verse 8:
FF             C majorC     A minorAm
"The stalk is withered and dry, sweetheart
DmDm           A minorAm
The flower will never return
DmDm         FF    C majorC
And since I lost my one true love
DmDm
What can I do but mourn?"

Verse 9:
DmDm          FF     C majorC
"When shall we meet again, sweetheart?
DmDm          A minorAm
When shall we meet again?"
DmDm              FF     C majorC
"Where the oaken leaves that fall from the trees
DmDm
Are green and spring up again"
