[D] Through bushes [Am] and [D] through [Am] briars [Dm] I [Am] lately [A] took my way
[D] Of [Dm] all to hear the [Am] small birds sing [D] One evening [Am] in May
[D] Of all [Dm] to hear the [Am] small birds sing [D] One [Am] evening in May
I overheard [D]
one true [A] love [D] Her [Am] voice it [A] was so clear
[D] Long time [F] I have [Am] been waiting for
[D] The coming [Am]
of my dear
[Dm] Long time I have been [Am] waiting for [D] The coming [Am] of my dear
I drew myself up [D] onto [Am] a tree [D] A tree [Am] that did [A] look green
[D] Where the green [F] leaves shaded [D] over [Am]
me [D] I scarcely
[Am] could be seen
[Dm] And as [Am] I listened [D] to [Am] my love [D] My [Am] love began [A] to mourn
[Dm] Knowing I am of the [A]
opinion [D] That my heart [Am] is not [D] my own
[Am]
[Dm] Sometimes [Am]
I am uneasy [D] And troubled [Am] in my mind
[D] Sometimes [F] I think [Am] I'll go to my love [D]
And tell [Am] to him my mind
[D] Sometimes [F] I [A] think I'll go to my love [D] And tell [Am] to him my mind
[D] But if [Am] I should go [D] to my [Am] love
[D] What should [Am] my love [A] say then?
[D] It would show [F] to him [A]
my boldness [D] And he'd [Am] ne'er love me again
[D] It would show [F] to him [Am] my boldness [D] And he'd ne'er [Am] love [D] me again
