_ _ _ _ [Am] One fine [Em] summer's morning, _ [Dm]
as nature [G] was dawning,
[Am] And good folk held to the [Dm] church bell,
_ _ _ _ [Am]
Two [Em] young _ [Dm] lords by life [G] were deceived,
[Am] And their story [Dm] I sadly [Am] will tell,
_ _ _ For all the [Em] town knew of [D] our _ [F] world,
_ [Am] Now all the town knows of [Dm] our shame,
_ _ _ [Am] And _ I've been broken _ [F#m]
[D] forever
_ [F] _ By [Am] a stranger [Dm] who told me my name.
_ She came [C] from the city [Dm] to help [G] in the harvest,
[Am] I worked in the field by [Dm] her side,
_ _ _ [Am] And all that long winter [Dm] I courted my [G] love,
In [Am] the summer [Dm] I made her [Am] my bride.
_ _ And happy were [C] we [D] for the first time [G] together,
[Am] Since the great war had taken [Dm] our king,
_ _ _ _ [Am] _
And [C] from the government [Dm]
came to [G] our door,
[A] And he [Am] asked if [Dm] I might let [A] him in,
_ _ With [Am] a voice [G] that was colder than [Dm] wind,
Or [G] the water [Am] or a spray from a winter [Dm]-worn _ sea.
_ [Am] He said [G] that together [Dm] we could not [Em] remain,
[Am] For her brother [D] and sister [Am] were we,
_ _ _ For all the [Em] town knew of [D] our _ [F] world,
Now [Am] _
all the town knows of [Dm] our shame,
_ _ _ _ [Am]
And I've been [Em] broken [D] forever
_ _ [F] _ By [Am] a stranger [A] who told me my _ name.

_ _ _ _ [Am] Now in the summer [C] I roll through [Dm]
the deep glens [G] and choir,
[Am] And sit by the dark [Dm] water's side,
_ _ And [Am]
there I [C] think only [Dm] on her that [Em] I'd shame,
[G] And all for the taking [Dm] of a bride.
_ _ For [Am]
all the town knew of [D] our world,
