LADY ISOBEL AND THE ELF KNIGHT
Capo 2

  E MajorE     G+G    D MajorD   A augmentedA
The elf-knight sits on yonder hill
E MajorE  G+G       D MajorD A augmentedA
Fine flowers in the valley
  E MajorE     G+G     D MajorD     A augmentedA
He blows his horn both loud and shrill
E MajorE   G+G    D MajorD A augmentedA
As the rose is blown

  E MajorE    G+G    D MajorD    A augmentedA
He blows it East, he blows it West
E MajorE  G+G       D MajorD A augmentedA
Fine flowers in the valley
  E MajorE    G+G    D MajorD   A augmentedA
He blows it where he liketh best
E MajorE   G+G    D MajorD A augmentedA
As the rose is blown

A augmentedA   C majorC   G+G   D MajorD
Lady Isabel sits a-sewing
A augmentedA  C majorC        G+G D MajorD
Fine flowers in the valley
     A augmentedA    C majorC      G+G   D MajorD
When she heard the elf-knight's horn a-blowing
A augmentedA   C majorC    G+G D MajorD
As the rose is blown

 A augmentedA    C majorC    G+G   D MajorD
'Would I had that horn a-blowing?
A augmentedA  C majorC        G+G D MajorD
Fine flowers in the valley
   A augmentedA   C majorC       G+G      D MajorD
'And yon elf-knight for to sleep in my bosom?
A augmentedA   C majorC    G+G D MajorD
As the rose is blown

A augmentedA      C majorC     G+G   D MajorD
Scarcely had she these words spoken
A augmentedA  C majorC        G+G D MajorD
Fine flowers in the valley
   A augmentedA     C majorC     G+G      D MajorD
When in at the window the elf-knight's broken
A augmentedA   C majorC    G+G D MajorD
As the rose is blown

    E MajorE      G+G      D MajorD     A augmentedA
'It's a very strange matter, fair maid' said he
E MajorE  G+G        D MajorD A augmentedA
Fine flowers in the valley
  E MajorE       G+G     D MajorD     A augmentedA
'I cannot blow my horn, but you call on me?
E MajorE   G+G    D MajorD A augmentedA
As the rose is blown

   E MajorE      G+G   D MajorD     A augmentedA
'But will you go to the greenwood side??
E MajorE  G+G        D MajorD A augmentedA
Fine flowers in the valley
  E MajorE      G+G    D MajorD       A augmentedA
'If you will not go, I'll cause you to ride?
E MajorE   G+G    D MajorD A augmentedA
As the rose is blown

  A augmentedA      C majorC     G+G   D MajorD
He leapt on his horse and she on another
A augmentedA  C majorC        G+G D MajorD
Fine flowers in the valley
     A augmentedA    C majorC      G+G    D MajorD
And they rode on to the greenwood together
A augmentedA   C majorC    G+G D MajorD
As the rose is blown

    A augmentedA      C majorC   G+G      D MajorD
'Light down, light down, Isabel' said he
A augmentedA  C majorC        G+G D MajorD
Fine flowers in the valley
      A augmentedA     C majorC      G+G     D MajorD
'For we're come to the place where you are to die?
A augmentedA   C majorC    G+G D MajorD
As the rose is blown

   A augmentedA      C majorC     G+G      D MajorD
'It's seven kings daughters, here have I slain?
A augmentedA  C majorC       G+G D MajorD
Fine flowers in the valley
   A augmentedA     C majorC   G+G     D MajorD
'And you shall be the eighth of them?
A augmentedA   C majorC    G+G D MajorD
As the rose is blown

   E MajorE   G+G        D MajorD     A augmentedA
'Sit down a-while, lay your head on my knee?
E MajorE  G+G        D MajorD A augmentedA
Fine flowers in the valley
   E MajorE   G+G  D MajorD    A augmentedA
'That we may rest before I die?
E MajorE   G+G    D MajorD A augmentedA
As the rose is blown

  E MajorE       G+G    D MajorD       A augmentedA
She stroked him so fast the nearer he did creep
E MajorE  G+G       D MajorD A augmentedA
Fine flowers in the valley
  E MajorE      G+G      D MajorD       A augmentedA
And with a small charm, she's lulled him to sleep
E MajorE   G+G    D MajorD A augmentedA
As the rose is blown

A augmentedA      C majorC       G+G        D MajorD
With his own sword-belt, so fast she's bound him
A augmentedA  C majorC        G+G D MajorD
Fine flowers in the valley
   A augmentedA    C majorC     G+G         D MajorD
With his own dagger so sore she's stabbed him
A augmentedA   C majorC    G+G D MajorD
As the rose is blown

  A augmentedA      C majorC       G+G    D MajorD
'If seven kings daughters here have you slain?
A augmentedA  C majorC        G+G D MajorD
Fine flowers in the valley
   A augmentedA    C majorC    G+G        D MajorD
'Then lie you here, a husband to them all?
A augmentedA   C majorC    G+G D MajorD
As the rose is blown
