Lavenders Blue chords by Traditional

Chords with lyrics

A augmentedA traditional song from 17th century England. There are a few versions around but I think
this one has most,if not all,of the original verses and a simple chord progression which
seems quite effective. No verses/chorus as such it's just a sing right through song.
