SHE MOVES AMONG MEN
(THE BARMAIDS SONG)
JUNE TABOR
CAPO: 3rd FRET
INTRO:
E E E E
VERSE:
E E A E
`Speak to me gently before we begin`
Em Am G D
She pleads but they laugh and pull her down
D G C Em
And after they`ve used her briefly and roughly
Em Am C Em E E E E
They leave her to face the dawn alone
VERSE:
E E A E
When they have gone she moves on her side
Em Am G D
And thinks of the men that with her have lain
D G C Em
And none of them gave her a kind-worded loving
Em Am C Em E E E E
And after they`d done not one of them stayed
VERSE:
E E A E
Once she was wary, and chose but a few
Em Am G D
To roll in her arms at the end of the day
D G C Em
But the flower so proud begins now to wither
Em Am C Em E E E
And any may pluck at the petals so gay
VERSE:
E E A E
Alone in the night she muses a while
Em Am G D
Thinks on the days and how they will pass
D G C Em
And she cries for the lonely years that awaiting
Em Am C Em
Till death takes her hand and weds her at last
INSTRUMENTAL:
E E Am Am Am Am Am Am E E E E E
VERSE:
E E A E
Down in the barroom she moves among men
Em Am G D
Who watch her and touch her whenever they can
D G C Em
And she notices hands and mouths as they drink
Em Am C Em E E E E
And over the tankards the eyes of each man
OUTRO:
E E A Bm Em
