Maura O'Connell - Unconstant Lover


Intro:
G+G  D MajorD  G+G

Verse 1:
                   D MajorD     G+G
Oh, it's meetings a pleasure and it's parting a grieve
              D MajorD
And an unconstant lover is worse not a thief
    E minorEm               C majorC
For the thief he will rob you and just steal what you have
    G+G           D MajorD         G+G
But an unconstant lover will follow you to your grave
  E minorEm               C majorC
The thief he will rob you and just steal what you have
    G+G           D MajorD         G+G
But an unconstant lover will follow you to your grave

Chorus:
                    C majorC
Oh, they'll buy you fine trinkets, fine garments and flowers
      G+G           D MajorD
And they'll call in at tea-time to pay their devours
    E minorEm               C majorC
They'll swear that they love you by the light of the moon
    G+G                   D MajorD     G+G
And propose marriage? No, sherry cobblers at Taylor's Saloon


Verse 2:
                  D MajorD      G+G
Ah, but when you are married, look out for your hub
                 D MajorD
'Cause evenings you spend at the old fellows' club
    E minorEm           C majorC
At the officer's store he was kept, he'll pretend
  G+G            D MajorD     G+G
And so he was too, drinking rum with a friend
    E minorEm           C majorC
At the officer's store he was kept, he'll pretend
  G+G            D MajorD     G+G
And so he was too, drinking rum with a friend


Verse 3:
  G+G            D MajorD      G+G
But fortunes are false and a fickle young day
                  D MajorD
And it's worse than bad luck for to die an old maid
    E minorEm              C majorC
And the best of all blessings we can meet in this life
   G+G             D MajorD       G+G
Is a kind, loving husband and a good-tempered wife
    E minorEm              C majorC
And the best of all blessings we can meet in this life
   G+G             D MajorD       G+G
Is a kind, loving husband and a good-tempered wife
