P. Stands for Paddy

Verse 1:

A minorAm        G+G
I walked out one May morning
    A minorAm        E minorEm
For to take a pleasant walk,
 A minorAm    G+G     D MajorD     C majorC
I sat down beside an old stone wall
  E minorEm       A minorAm
To hear two lovers talk.
  A minorAm          G+G
To hear what they might say, my dear,
    A minorAm         E minorEm
For to hear what they might say
    A minorAm    G+G      D MajorD     C majorC
So that I might know a little more about love
 E minorEm     A minorAm
Before I go away.

J for my love John,
    A minorAm  G+G    D MajorD     C majorC
And the W stands for false William
  E minorEm          A minorAm

But Johnny is the fairest man.
