Nan Tom Teaimin - The Lambs on the Green Hills Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _
The _ [A] lambs on the green hill, [E] _ [A] they sport and _ [D] they play,
_ _ _ [A] and many _ _ strawberries _ grow _ round the [E] salt sea.
_ _ How [A] sad is my heart when my love _ is _ [D] away, _
how many _ [E] the ship _ sails [D] in the ocean.
_ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] The [A] bride _ and bride's [E] party _ to church they _ did [D] go,
_ _ the [A] bride _ she rode for more, _ she bears the best show. _ _
[D] And I [D] _
[A] followed [F#] after _ [A] my heart full [D] of woe,
_ to [A] see _ my love [E] wed to _ _ [A] another. _ _
_ [A] The _ _ _ first [D] place [A] I saw her _ was in _ the church [D] town,
_ _ gold [A] rings on her fingers and her love by the [E] hand.
_ [E] _
_ [A] Says I, [F#m] my [F#] wee lassie, [A] _
I'll be by _ [D] your side,
_ _ _ [A] although _ you are [E] wed to _ _ [A] another.
[D] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ The [A] _ [D] next place I [A] saw her was on the hallway [D] hall, _
_ _ I ran _ on before her, _ not knowing where [E] to roam. _ _ _
Says [A] I, [F#] my wee lassie, _ I'll be _ _ [D] the man _
_ _ although [A] _ _
you are wed to [E] _ _
_ [D] another.
_ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [D] Stop, [A] stop, says the [A] groom's man,
_ and listen, oh _ [D] while _ will you _ venture [E] your life
_ on [A] the point _ [D] of [E] my soul.
_ _ Bar [A] _
-courting [E] so slowly, _ [A] you've lost _ this fair [D] maid, _ _
so [A] be gone for you'll [E] never _ _ _
[D] enjoy her.
_ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] Oh make [A] _ now my _ grave both large, wide _ [D] and _ _ deep,
and [A] sprinkle _ it over _ with _ flowers [D] [E] so sweet,
_ _ [D] _
and lay me [E] down [F#m] in it [A] to take my last [D] _ _
sleep,
_ [A] or _ _ that's the best [E] way to _ _ [D] forget her.
