Bruton Town Chords by Sandy Denny

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ In Bruton [Gm] town [Bb] there lived [F] a naughty [Cm] man
[F] _ [Cm] [G] He [F] had two [Bb] sons and [F] a daughter [Cm]
fair
By [Gm] night and day [Eb] they [Bb] were [F] contriving
[Cm] Oh _ _ [Eb] to fill their [Bb] [F] sister's heart [Cm] with care _ _ _ _ _
One [Gm] night, one [Eb] night [Bb] of [F] restless [Cm] slumber
_ [F]
[Cm] One [Bb] brother rose [F] up from [Cm] his bed
He [Gm] heard the [Bb] [Eb] servant call [Bb] their [F] sister
[Cm] _ _
_ [Gm] Oh he heard they [Bb] had a mind [F] to [Eb] wed
_ [Eb] _ _ [Cm] _ _ Oh [Gm] yonder [Bb] rose [C] the very next [Cm] morning
One [Dm] slept [Bb] in poor [F] sleep [C] _ _ _ and one [Bb] evening
[F] This young [Cm] man, _ _ they [Bb] left him [F] lying in the [Cm] bronzer
Oh she [Bb] went to bed, [F] they cried [Cm] in the morning
And [F] thinking [Bb] of her [F] _ [C] [Cm] cruel love
And as [Gm] she slept [Eb]
[Bb] she [F] dreamt that she [Cm] saw him
_ _ All [Eb] lying in the [Bb] countryside, [F] all poor [Cm] and blue _
Oh [Gm] brother's [Bb] brother, [F] he [Cm] was far
_ [Dm] And what [Bb] became of [F] the [Cm] servant?
_ Oh he lost him [Gm] where [Eb] he [Bb] once was
[F] _
[Cm] _ _ [Gm] Oh he [Bb] lost him [F] where he once had a [Cm] lease on
_ _ _ [Dm] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
Oh she [Gm] early [Eb] rose the [Bb] [F] very next morning
[Cm] _
_ _ [Gm] And searched [Bb] the [F] countryside [C]
[Cm] around
_ And there she [Gm] saw [Eb] [Bb] her own [F] dear [Cm] Joelle
All [Eb] lying in the [Bb] bronzer [F] where he [Cm] lay
_ Three [Cm] _ _ [F] _ [Cm]
days [Gm] alone, [Eb] [Bb] he was [F] lonely one [Cm] day
[Cm] She _ _ [Dm] fought [Bb] her heart when [F] _ [Cm] _
_ a [Gm] cruel [Eb] hunger
[Bb] [F] Came [Cm] upon her
[Eb] And in [Bb] despair [F] to her heart [Cm] she did call
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ Oh sister, [Gm] sister, [Eb] _ [Bb] [F] why do you [Cm] despair? _
[F] And won't [Bb] you tell?
[F] _ [Cm] _ _ _
Stand off, [Eb] stand off, you [Bb] [F] bloody [Cm] witcher
[Gm] My love [Bb] and I, [F] you half [Cm]-blood slave _ _
