The Unquiet Grave chords by Gryphon

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
Dm           F    C
Cold blows the wind to my true love
Dm          Am
And gently drops the rain
Dm       F    C
I only had but one true love
Dm
And in Greenwood she lies slain

Verse 2:
F          C    Am
I'll do as much for my true love
Dm        Am
As any young man may
Dm          F    C
I'll sit and mourn along her grave
Dm
For a twelve-month and a day

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

Verse 4:
F             C     Am
"There's one thing that I want, sweetheart
Dm            Am
There's one thing that I crave
Dm              F     C
And that is a kiss from your lily white lips
Dm
Then I'll go from your grave"

Verse 5:
Dm          F    C
"My lips they are as cold as clay
Dm            Am
My breath smells earthy strong
Dm         F     C
And if you kiss my cold clay lips
Dm
Your days they won't be long"

Verse 6:
F             C  Am
Go fetch me water from the desert
Dm           Am
And blood from out of stone
Dm           F      C
Go fetch me milk from a fair maid's breast
Dm
That a young man never had known"

Verse 7:
Dm          F  C
'Twas down in Cupid's Garden
Dm          Am
Where you and I would walk
Dm           F   C
The finest flower that ever I saw
Dm
Is withered to a stalk

Verse 8:
F             C     Am
"The stalk is withered and dry, sweetheart
Dm           Am
The flower will never return
Dm         F    C
And since I lost my one true love
Dm
What can I do but mourn?"

Verse 9:
Dm          F     C
"When shall we meet again, sweetheart?
Dm          Am
When shall we meet again?"
Dm              F     C
"Where the oaken leaves that fall from the trees
Dm
Are green and spring up again"
