The Vagabond - Ralph Vaughan Williams

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.
