Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]

C majorC      FF   C majorC  A minorAm    C majorC            A minorAm
Down in the willow garden, where me and my true love did meet
C majorC   FF   C majorC  A minorAm   C majorC     G+G   C majorC
As we sat a-courtin', my love fell off to sleep
 A minorAm       C majorC     A minorAm  C majorC          A minorAm
I had a bottle of burglar’s* wine, my love she did not know
  C majorC    FF       C majorC      A minorAm   C majorC    G+G    C majorC
And there I poisoned that dear little girl, along the banks below


[Verse 2]

C majorC    FF   C majorC    A minorAm   C majorC      A minorAm
I drew a sabre through her, it was a bloody knife
C majorC      FF   C majorC  A minorAm    C majorC   G+G    C majorC
I threw her in the river, which was a dreadful sight
 A minorAm      C majorC  A minorAm    C majorC          A minorAm
My father often told me, that money would set me free
C majorC      FF     C majorC      A minorAm     C majorC         A minorAm
If I would murder that dear little girl, whose name was Rose Connelly


[Verse 3]

C majorC         FF   C majorC   A minorAm     C majorC      A minorAm
Father sits at his cabin door, wiping his tear-dimmed eyes
C majorC      FF   C majorC    A minorAm    C majorC    G+G   C majorC
For his only son soon shall walk, to yonder scaffold high
 A minorAm       C majorC     A minorAm   C majorC           A minorAm
My race is run, beneath the sun, the scaffold now waits for me
C majorC      FF     C majorC      A minorAm     C majorC         A minorAm
For I did murder that dear little girl, whose name was Rose Connelly
