Tuning: EADGBE

Verse 1:
G            C            G
Come all ye fair and tender ladies
 G            C                   D
take warning how, you court young men.
D              Am7                  G
They're like a stars of a summer's morning
 G           Am7                     D
they first appear, and then they're gone.

Verse 2:
G               C                G
They'll tell to you, some loving story
 G                    C                        D
they'll make you think, that they love you true.
D              Am7                  G
Straight away they'll go, and court another
G           Am7                     D
and that's the love they had for you.

Verse 3:
G          C               G
If I had known before I courted
 G         C                   D
I would have never courted none.
D        Am7                   G
I'd lock my heart in a box of golden
G              Am7             D
and fasten it up with a silver pin.

Verse 4:
G          C               G
Do you recall our days of courting?
G          C               D
When your head lay on my breast
D        Am7                   G
You'd make me believe by the falling of your arms

That the sun rose in the west.

Verse 5:
G        C                 G
I wish I was, a little sparrow
 G         C                   D
and I had wings with which to fly
D        Am7                   G
I'd fly away, to my false true lover
G              Am7             D
and when he'd speak, I would deny.

Verse 6:
G          C               G
But I am not a little sparrow
G          C            D
Neither have I wings to fly
D        Am7                   G
So here I'll sit in grief and sorrow
G              Am7             D
