Chords for Shirley Collins -[01]- All Things Are Quite Silent

[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ All things are [E] quite silent, [C#m] each [A] mortal at [Bm] _ rest,
_ When me [F#m] and my [E] true love [D] lay snug in [F#m] one nest, _
_ [E] And a set of [F#m] bold ruffians [C#m] broke into [F#m] our [C#m] cave,
[D] _
And [Bm] they forced my [C#m] dear jewel to [A] [C#m] plough the [Bm] salt wave.
[Em] _ _
_ [B] _ _ I begged hard for [E] my darling as [C#m] I would [A] for [Bm] my life,
_ _ But they would [F#m] not [E] heed [D] me, although a fond [F#] wife,
_ Saying [E] the king must [F#m] have sailors [C#m] to the walls [F#] he must [D] guard,
_ [Bm] And they've left [E] me lamenting [A] in sorrow [Bm] and woe.
[Em] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ Through woods and [C#m] green meadows [A] we oft times [C#] have walked,
_ [Bm] _ And of fond _
[A] _ _ [G] recollections together [F#m] have _ talked,
_ [E] Where the lark and [F#m] the blackbird [C#m] so sweetly [F#m] did sing,
_ _ And [Bm] the lovely [E] thrush's voice [A] has made the valleys [Bm] to _ ring.
_ [Em] _ _ [B] _ _
[D] Now although [C#m] I'm _ forsaken, [D] I won't be [Em] cast down, _ _
Who knows but [D] my [E] true love someday [Bm] may return,
_ _ [Em] _
And will make me [D] _ amends for [C#m] my trouble [F#m] and _ strife, _ _
[Bm] And me and [E] my jewel [A] will be [C#m] happy [Bm] for life. _ _ _
