Maura O'Connell - Unconstant Lover



Intro:
G   D   G

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

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


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


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