Chords with lyrics

G+G          C majorC      G+G
As I was a-walking one midsummer's morning
 G+G                C majorC      D MajorD
I heard the birds whistle and the nightingales play.
  G+G         C majorC     E minorEm
And there did I spy a beautiful maiden
  G+G    C majorC      D MajorD     G+G
As I was a-walking all on the highway.


  G+G            C majorC      G+G
“O where are you going, my fair pretty lady?
 G+G           C majorC     D MajorD
O where are you going so early this morn?”
  G+G            C majorC    E minorEm
She said: “I'm going down to visit my neighbours;
  G+G       C majorC      D MajorD      G+G
I'm going down to Warwick, the place I was born.”

   G+G            C majorC      G+G
It's “May I come with you, my sweet pretty darling?
  G+G         C majorC     D MajorD
May I go along in your sweet company?”
   G+G            C majorC      E minorEm
Then she turned her head and smiling all at me
    G+G       C majorC       D MajorD      G+G
Saying: “You may come with me, kind sir, if you please.”


  G+G             C majorC      G+G
We hadn't been walking but a few miles together
 G+G            C majorC      D MajorD
Before this young damsel began to show free.
  G+G             C majorC     E minorEm
She sat herself down, saying: “Sit down beside me,
    G+G       C majorC       D MajorD      G+G
And the games we shall play shall be one, two and three.”


 G+G               C majorC      G+G
I said: “My dear lady, if you're fond of the gaming
    G+G            C majorC      D MajorD
There's one game I know I would like you to learn.
  G+G           C majorC      E minorEm
The game it is called: The Game of All Fours.”
   G+G      C majorC     D MajorD       G+G
So I took out my pack and began the first turn.


  G+G            C majorC    G+G
She cut the cards first and I fell a-dealing.
 G+G            C majorC       D MajorD
I dealt her a trump and myself the poor jack.
  G+G          C majorC       E minorEm
She led off her ace and stole my jack from me,
     G+G      C majorC      D MajorD      G+G
Saying: “Jack is the card I like best in your pack.”


    G+G              C majorC      G+G
“Since I dealt them last time, it's your turn to shuffle
  G+G            C majorC      D MajorD
And my turn to show the best card in the pack.”
   G+G             C majorC      E minorEm
Once more she'd the ace and the deuce for to beat me,
   G+G     C majorC      D MajorD       G+G
Once again I had lost when I laid down poor jack.


 G+G          C majorC       G+G
I took up my hat and I bid her: “Good morning,”
 G+G               C majorC      D MajorD
I said: “You're the best that I know at this game.”
  G+G                C majorC     E minorEm
She answered: “Young man, if you'll come back tomorrow
   G+G       C majorC    D MajorD   G+G
