[Dm] [C] [Dm]

[Dm] [Am] [Dm]
[C] The youngest of [Dm] all anything by the poor name of [D] the Lord.
The eldest, she [C] was vexed, said,
[A] Finori, oh, [D] Finori.
And [C] suddenly [Dm] persisted, a fear,
By the [A] name of the [D] Lord.
The eldest said [C] to the youngest,
[Am] Finori, oh, [D] Finori.
We [Dm] can see our father's shape,
Scorn [D] made [D] by the poor name [Dm] of the Lord.
She stained her by [C] the
[Dm] [D]
[C]
[D] blood,
[C] Stood upon the stain,
[Am] Finori, [D] oh, Finori.
The [C] eldest [Dm] come and pushed her in,
By [Am] the name of the [D] Lord.
[Dm] Oh, sister, [C] sister, reach your hand,
[A] Finori, [D]
[C] [Dm]
in the arms of [D] Finori.
[Dm] Oh, sister, I'll [C] not reach my hand,
[Dm] Finori, [C] in the
[Dm] [Am] arms of [Dm] Finori.
Oh, sister, [D] reach [C] me back your glove,
[A] Finori, [Am] oh, [D] Finori.
[Dm] And sweet William, [D]
[Am] [D]
[Dm] sink on,
Nor hope [C] for hand nor glove,
[Dm] Finori.
And sweet [C] William, [Dm] had better be my love,
By the name, dear, of the Lord.
[D] Sometime she sunk, [C] sometime she sunk,
[Am] Finori, oh, [D] Finori.
[Dm] Till [C] she could [D] not be in her slum,
But
[Dm] [C] was vacant freed,
[Dm] Finori, [Am] oh, Finori.
And [G] gave for water, [Dm] and she had made,
By the [A] name, dear, of the [D] Lord.
[Dm] Father, father, [C] draw your [Dm] [Am]
[E] [Dm] sword,
There is either [C] a [Dm] feather,
Or a pale, white swan,
By the [Am] name, dear, of the [D] Lord.
[Dm] He [C] stood and drew his tongue,
[Dm] Finori, [Am] [D] [Dm]
[C] and he found,
[Dm]
[Am] [D]
[Dm] In [C] her ear, [Dm] [Am] [Dm]
[C] [Dm] a swan with a horn.
He, in her ear, [C] had made,
A little [D] swan, [Dm] Finori, oh, [Dm]
[D] [C] [Dm]
Finori.
He could not see [C] her lily feet,
[Am] Finori, [Dm]
[C] [Dm]
[A] [Dm]
if she [C]
smiled,
[D] Finori, [Am] oh, Finori.
[D]
That sweet, [C] pale, tasty [Dm] child,
Who smiled, but never spoke.
And when he looked, that [D] pretty swan,
[Dm] Finori, [Am] oh, [Dm] Finori.
In her ear, [C] a swan with [Dm]
a horn.
No, it was [C] not the Lord's breath,
[Dm] Finori, [Am] oh, Finori.
And she, who [C] had made,
[D] It was a big, [Dm] white [Dm] swan,
That was strung in a string,
[C] There, yellow, and white,
[Dm] Finori, [Am] oh, Finori.
[Dm]
Their songs [C] made [D] snuggly,
Yet [Dm] [Am]
he stayed [C] to her father's hall,
[Dm] Finori, [Am] oh, [D] Finori.
Let us all go [Dm] now,
By the [Am] pond, the mill-downs,
Oh, [D] Finori.
He made the harp,
[C] A swing, Finori, oh, Finori.
And straight began [Dm] to play,
[D]
[Am] [D]
O'er [Dm] yonder sits my father,
The King, Finori,
[D]
[Dm]
And yonder stands [C] my brother,
The [Dm] King, [Am] [Dm] Finori.
[C] He will
[Dm] sweeten to the moon,
The moon that I adore.
But the last tune that [C] the harp played then,
[Dm] [Am] Finori, [Dm] oh, Finori.
Ought my [C] sister
[Dm]
False pained,
By the [A] arms of [D] Finori.
