Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
Em                       D
Oh, a blacksmith courted me
     C          D   Em
Nine months and better
                 D
He fairly won my heart
         C    D  Em
He wrote me a letter
         G      D      Em
With the hammer in his hand
               D
He looked so clever
       A             G
And if I was with my love
        C    D   Em
I would live forever

Verse 2:
Em                   D
Oh, where is my love gone
         C           D  Em
With his cheeks like roses
                             D
And his good black billycock on
              C        D  Em
Decked around with primroses
    G          D         Em
I'm afraid the scorching sun
                            D
Will shine and burn his beauty
       A             G
And if I was with my love
        C     D  Em
I would do my duty

Verse 3:
Em                       D
Strange news has come to town
        C        D  En
Strange news are carried
                          D
Strange news flies up and down
     C          D   Em
That my love is married
      G         D         Em
Oh, I wish them both much joy
                      D
Though they can't hear me
        A              G
And may God reward him well
        C         D  Em
For the slighting of me

Verse 4:
Em                 D
Don't you remember when
    C     D    Em
You lay beside me
                         D
And you said you'd marry me
    C     D  Em
And not deny me
     G        D     Em
If I said I'd marry you
                       D
It was only for to try you
   A                  G
So bring your witness love
         C     D  Em
And I'll not deny you

Verse 5:
Em                 D
No, witness have I none
      C     D  Em
Save God Almighty
                      D
And may he reward you well
        C         D  Em
For the slighting of me
    G         D        Em
Her lips grew pale and wan
                         D
It made a poor heart tremble
   A                G
To think she loved a one
       C         D Em
And he proved deceitful
