Chords for Playing of Ball - Kate Rusby

_ _ _ It happened one evening at the playing of ball
When first I met Willie, he was proper, he was [C] tall
He was neat, fair and handsome, and straight in each limb
There's a heart in the bosom, I need taking for him
Will you go along with me all down the road
To see father's dwelling and the place of our abode
He knew by her look and her languishing eye
He was the old man she valued [G] most [C] _
high
_ _ To place in me garden, young Willie said she
While lords, dukes and earls, they wait upon me
When they are sleeping, their long silent rest
I'll go with you Willie, you're the boy I love best

Her father was listening, in ambush he lay
He's heard the words these lovers [Em] did [C] say
With his sharp rapier, his piercer looked through
And the innocent lord of [D] the darling [C] he drew
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm]
[C] Oh I will go off to some [F] far country
[C]
Where I'll know no one and no one knows me
It's there all over, my own [D] silent [C] rest
It's you Lord Willie, you're the boy I love best
[G] _ _ [Em] [C] It happened one evening at the plain of Gaul
When first I met Willie, he was proper, he [G] was [C] tall
He was neat, fair and handsome, and straight in each limb
There's a heart in the [A] bosom, I need taking [F] for [C] him
There's a heart in the bosom, I need taking for him
There's a heart in the bosom, I need taking [F] for [C] _
him
_ [F] _ [C] For him
_ [F] _ _ [C]
For him
[F] _ [C] For him
