[A] [F#m]
[Bm] Oh, things were quiet, [E] silent, each [F#m] mortal [Bm] at rest,
When me and [F#m] my [E] true [F#] love lay [F#m] snug in one nest,
[E] When a boatload [D] of ruffians [E] broke into [D] our [Bm] cave,
[F#m]
[B] And they forced my [E] dear Jewel to plough [A] the [Bm] salt [A] wave.
[F#] I [B] begged not for [E] my darling as I would for [A] [B] my life,
But they'd not [F#m] listen [E] to [F#] me, although [F#m] upon the wife,
[E] Saying the king [D] must have his sailors [E] to the seas he [D] must go,
[Bm] And they left me [E] lamenting in sorrow [F#m] and [A] woe.
[F#m]
[Bm] [F#m]
[Bm] Through green fields [E] and meadows we all [Bm] night have walked,
And the fond [F#m] [E] recollections [F#m] together have talked,
Where [E] the log [D] and the blackbird [E] so sweetly [A] [D] did [E] sing,
[F#m] [Bm] And the lovely thrush's [E] voices made the [F#m] valleys new [A] rain.
[F#m]
[B] Now though I'm [E] forsaken, I won't be [Bm] cast down,
[B] Who knows but [F#] my [E] true love [F#m] some day may return,
[E] And will make [D] me amends [E] for my trouble [D] and [Bm]
strife.
And me and [E] my true love might live happy [Bm] for [A] life.
