[Dm]

[Gm]
Once a stag came [Bb] to a [G] lowly hill, [Eb] a deer that [Gm] had to fly.
[Bb] And so there from Lexington was [Eb] crazy into [Gm] my mind.
[Bb] Her rosy [Eb] cheeks, her [F] ruby lips, [Gm] like arrows pierced my breast.
She bore [Bb] a lot of Laura, [F] [Eb] the pale and young [Gm]
Laura.
But I bore a tad of lowly [Bb]
[F] Laura, [Eb] and she [Bb] wore a red [Gm] bow.
[Bb] She turned them into a diamond, to [Eb] store distress [Gm] in my mind.
[Eb] She robbed me of my [C] liberty, [Gm] deprived me of my [Bb] rest.
But [Gm] my [Bb] faithless [F] Laura, [Eb] she [Dm] had lost, [Gm]
way up in the [G] younger [F] shady grove.
[Eb]
The [Gm] lowly [Bb]
morning with my [C] Laura there, [Eb] seemed so [Gm] strange to me.
And [Eb] the answer that she [F] gave to him, it [Dm] sure didn't mean a price.
I was betraying my Laura, [Eb] the beauty [Dm] of those who
[Gm] knew.
Up [Bb] to my [F] arrival, [Eb] whatever [Gm] in my head,
[Bb] seized by the [C] cold, [Eb] I have only [Dm] been a sample.
Big bad [Bb] [Cm]
[F] aspirations, [Dm] and their students of rust.
No, [Gm] my [F] lovely Laura, [Cm] the beauty [Dm] of those who knew.
[Gm] That to a stand [Bb] back [F] trial, [Eb] [D] to big [Gm] vile,
[Bb] to place me in the criminal [C] docks, and [Eb] then come [Bb] and starve [Gm] me.
[Eb] Oh, to starve my life [F] away, [Dm] and deprive me of my rest.
My faithless [F] Laura, [Eb] the beauty of [Gm] those.
