There [Eb] came a ghost to Margaret's door With many a grievous woe
And [Ab]
I [Eb] stirred long [Ab] at the pin [Eb] But answer she gave none
[Ab]
Is it my [Eb] father Philip Or yet my brother John
Or yet [Ab] my own dear William [Eb] From Scotland now come home
Thy faith and [Eb] truth you'll never [Ab] get And me you'll [Eb] never win
[Bb] Till you take me to your [Ab] churchyard And wet me [Eb] with the rain
[Cm] Oh [Ab] I do dwell in [Bb] a [Eb] churchyard But [Ab] far beyond the [Bb] sea
And it is but [Cm] my [Ab] ghost Margaret [Eb] That speaks now, won't they
[Cm] [Eb] So
[Cm] [Eb]
she's put on her robes of green With [Ab]
a peace below [Eb] the knee
And all the level of winter's night The sweet ghost followed she
[F] [Ab] Oh [Cm] is there room at [Bb] your head, Marie [Ab] Or room here at your
[Bb] feet
[Eb] Or room here at your [Ab] side, Marie Where [F] in the time [Eb] they [Fm] sleep
[F]
[Fm]
[Eb] [Ab] [Eb]
[F]
[Bb] [Eb] There's no room at my head, Margaret There's no room at my feet
There's no room at [Ab] my side, Margaret [Eb] My coffin is so [F] neat
[Ab]
Then up and spoke [Bb] the red [Bb] robin [Eb] [Ab] And up spoke the grey
[Eb] Tis time, [Eb] tis time, [Ab] my dear Margaret [Eb] The time will come away
No more the ghost, [Cm] [Eb] Margaret came With many grieves grown
He's vanished out [Ab] into [F] the mist And left [Eb] her there [Bb]
alone
[Cm] Oh say my [F] own true love, say My [Ab] heart you do [Bb] divide
[Eb] Pale grew her [Bb] cheeks, [Ab] she closed her eyes Stretched out [F]
her limbs [Eb] and [Fm]
[F] cried
[Eb]
[F]
God's a dear [Eb] old friend [F]
