[A] Come [F#m] all ye fair and tender [A]
ladies, Take warning how you court young men.
[E] They're like [A] the stars of a summer's morning, They'll first appear and then [E] they're gone.
If I'd [A] a known before I'd courted, I [C#m] never [A] would have courted none.
I'd a locked my heart in a box of golden, And fastened it off with a silver [E]
pin.
[A] I wish I [Bm] were a [A] little swallow, And I had wings and I could fly.

[E] And when [F#m] he'd speak I would [E] deny.
But [F#m] I am not a [A] little swallow, I have no wings neither [E]
can I [A] fly.
So [F#m] [E] I'll sit [A] down here [E] to weep in [A] sorrow, And try to pass my troubles [E] by.

Come [F#m] all ye fair [Bm] and [A] tender ladies, Take warning [F#m] how you court young men.
