We are going to do right now a gentle ballet.
Yes, even amid the ambient distraction of the fair,
I know you're thinking,
wow, this guy is not afraid to take a career risk.
_ _ [F] _ It's happened all season.
_ _ [B] _ [D] All right, the song tells a story, as all good songs do.
Here's the story.
In the 12th century, a hospital was [D#] founded in the British Isles.
It was originally [E] known as Our Lady Mary of [D] Bethlehem.
But by the 16th century, [F] the hospital had been converted.
[D] And now it had become wholly devoted to the care and keeping
of the insane, _ _
of the incorrigible,
_ _ of the debauched,
of the mentally and emotionally shut on. _ _
Most of the entertainers you'll see here today.
[N] _ And the name was shortened from Our Lady Mary of Bethlehem
and it came to be known infamously. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And it came to be known _ infamously in the English tongue as [C#] Bedlam.
_ _ _ _ _ This is the story [F#] of one young lady in _ chains.
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ In handcuffs.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ [Em] But as I was walking one _ [B] evening in the spring, _
_ I [Em] heard a maid in _ [F#m] bedlam so [B] sweetly for to [C#m] sing.
_ Her [E] chain she [C#] wrapped around her [G] hand [Em] and thus [C#m] replied [C#] she, _
_ I love [G] my love because I [E] knew my love [B] _ loved _ _ _ me.
_ _ [Em] And so were his _ [D] parents [Em] and sent [B] my love [E] to [B] sea.
[Em] And so that was the galleon [G] that [A] bore my love from [E] _ [B] me.
[Em] And I love [A] his parents [B] since there is [C] although they've [B] ruined me.
_ And I love my [G]
love because [A] I knew [Em] my love _ [F#]
loved _ me.
_ _ [B] _ _
[Em] With straw I weave a [D] garland,
I [Em] heal with it [C] the pain in _ mine.
[B] _
With roses, [Em] daisies, _ [D] lilies, [A] I'll mix the egg and _ [F#] thyme.
[D#] And I'll [A] present it [F#] to my [G] love when [B] he returns to sea.
_ For I love [A] my love because [B] I knew my love _ loved _ me. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ But [Em] as she there sat [G] weeping for [E] her love,
he came [B] on land.
_ And feeling she was [G] in _ [F#m] bedlam, he [A] ran straight [E] out of hand.
[G] He flew [A] into [C#] her snow-white [G] arms [Em] and thus [C#] replied he,
_ _ I love [G] my love because I [Em] knew my love _ loved [B] me. _ _ _ _
So _ _ _ now these two [C] are [G] married _ [C] and happy, [F#] they say.
_ _ _ [E] As good as does [G] to gather _ [A] in love and [E] unity, _
[B] _ [C] all pretty [A] maids with [C#] patience [G] wait [Em] that I've got [C#m] love [B] to see. _
_ For [Em] I love my love because _ [F#m] I [Em] knew my love [B] _
[E] loved me.
