The Vagabond chords by Ralph Vaughan Williams

• Difficulty: Advanced 🤯

Key: Cm

Verse 1:
Am
Give to me the life I love,
Am
Let the lave go by me,
Cm
Give the jolly heaven above
              Eb
And the byway nigh me.
Cm                  Bbm
Bed in the bush with stars to see,
C#                 G#m G
Bread I dip in the river.
Cm                             F
There's the life for a man like me,
            Am
There's the life for ever.

Verse 2:
Am
Let the blow fall soon or late,
Am
Let what will be o'er me;
Cm
Give the face of earth around
Cm
And the road before me.
                   Bbm
Wealth I seek not, hope nor love,
C#              G#   G
Nor a friend to know me;
Cm                     F
All I seek, the heaven above
        Am
And the road below me.

Bridge:
C#m           G#m     C#m
Or let autumn fall on me
                  G#m C#m
Where afield I li-inger,
Em
Silencing the bird on tree,
                F#
Biting the blue finger.
Gm      F       Cm    Ebm
White as meal the frosty field –
         C#       G#m Bb
Warm the fireside haven –
F#m
Not to autumn will I yield,
Am
Not to winter even!

Verse 3:
Am
Let the blow fall soon or late,
Am
Let what will be o'er me;
Cm
Give the face of earth around,
               Eb
And the road before me.
Cm               Bbm
Wealth I ask not, hope nor love,
C#              G#m  G
Nor a friend to know me;
Cm                    F
All I ask, the heaven above
        Am
And the road below me.
