Pretty Fair Maid In The Garden chords by Tim Obrien

G
Pretty fair maid was in her garden
    Em    D       G
When a stranger came a-riding by
       F#m      Em
He came up to the gate and called her
         D          G
Said pretty fair maid would you be my bride

G
Said I've a true love who's in the army
        Em  D       G
And he's been gone for seven long years
        F#m        Em
And if he's gone for seven years longer
       D        G
I'll still be waiting for him here

G
Perhaps he's on some watercourse drowning
       Em D        G
Perhaps he's on some battlefield slain
        F#m     Em
Perhaps he's to a fair girl married
      D       G
And you may never see him again

G
Well if he's drowned, I hope he's happy
      Em D         G
Or if he's on some battlefield slain
       F#m       Em
And if he's to some fair girl married
       D         G
I'll love the girl that married him

G
He took his hand out of his pocket
      Em     D      G
And on his finger he wore a golden ring
         F#m     Em
And when she saw that band a-shining
      D          G
A brand new song her heart did sing

G
And then he threw his arms all around her
    Em  D        G
Kisses gave her one, two, three
         F#m     Em
Said I'm your true and loving soldier
        D       G
That's come back home to marry thee

G
Pretty fair maid was in her garden
    Em    D       G
When a stranger came a-riding by
       F#m      Em
He came up to the gate and called her
         D          G
Said pretty fair maid would you be my bride
