Tuning: EADGBE

Verse 1:
G+G      C majorC      G+G
Come all ye fair and tender ladies
 G+G      C majorC          D MajorD
take warning how, you court young men.
D MajorD       Am7Am7         G+G
They're like a stars of a summer's morning
 G+G      Am7Am7           D MajorD
they first appear, and then they're gone.

Verse 2:
G+G        C majorC        G+G
They'll tell to you, some loving story
 G+G          C majorC            D MajorD
they'll make you think, that they love you true.
D MajorD       Am7Am7         G+G
Straight away they'll go, and court another
G+G      Am7Am7           D MajorD
and that's the love they had for you.

Verse 3:
G+G     C majorC        G+G
If I had known before I courted
 G+G     C majorC          D MajorD
I would have never courted none.
D MajorD    Am7Am7          G+G
I'd lock my heart in a box of golden
G+G       Am7Am7       D MajorD
and fasten it up with a silver pin.

Verse 4:
G+G     C majorC        G+G
Do you recall our days of courting?
G+G     C majorC        D MajorD
When your head lay on my breast
D MajorD    Am7Am7          G+G
You'd make me believe by the falling of your arms

That the sun rose in the west.

Verse 5:
G+G    C majorC         G+G
I wish I was, a little sparrow
 G+G     C majorC          D MajorD
and I had wings with which to fly
D MajorD    Am7Am7          G+G
I'd fly away, to my false true lover
G+G       Am7Am7       D MajorD
and when he'd speak, I would deny.

Verse 6:
G+G     C majorC        G+G
But I am not a little sparrow
G+G     C majorC      D MajorD
Neither have I wings to fly
D MajorD    Am7Am7          G+G
So here I'll sit in grief and sorrow
G+G       Am7Am7       D MajorD
