[G]
The wind [C] doth blow
[D] today, my [C] love
A [G] few small drops [C] of rain
[D]
[G] Never have I had but one [C] true [G] love
In cold clay [D] she [G] is laying
I'll do [C] as much [D] for my true [C] love
[G] As any young [D] man may
[G] I'll sit and mourn on [C] her [G] grave
A twelve [D]-month [G] and the day
A twelve [C]-month and [D] the day been [C] gone
A [G] voice spoke from [D] the [G] deep
Who is it sits all on [C] my grave
[G] And will [D] not [G] let me sleep
Tis I, [C] tis I, [D]
thine own true [G] [C] love
Who [G] sits upon your [D] grave
[G] For I crave one kiss from your [C] sweet lips
[G]
And that [D] is all [G]
I seek
You crave [C] one kiss from [D] my clay-cold lips
[C] But my [G] breath is earthy [D] strong
[G]
Had you one kiss from my clay [C]-cold lips
[G]
Your time would [D]
[G] not be long
My time [C] be long, [D] my time be short
[C]
[G] Tomorrow or [D] today
[G] May God in heaven have all [C] my soul
[G]
But I'll kiss [D] your [G] lips of clay
See down [C] in [D] yonder garden green
[C]
Love [G] where we used to [D] walk
[G]
The sweetest flower that ever [C] grew
[G]
Is [D] withered to [G]
the stone
The stock [C] is withered [D] dry, my [G] [C] love
So [G] will our hearts [D] decay
[G] So make yourself content, [C] my love
[G]
Till death [D] calls [G] you away
[Em] [G]
