[G]
The wind [C] doth blow
[D] today, my [C]
love, a [G] few small drops [D] of rain.
[G] Never have I had but one true [C]
[G] love, in cold [D] clay she [G] is lain.
I'll do [C] as much [D] for [G] my [D] true [C] love as [G] any young man [D] may.
[G] I'll sit and mourn all on [C] her [G] grave, the twelve months [D] [G] and the day.
The twelve [C] months and [D] the day been [G] gone, [C]
have [G] I spoke from [D] the [G] deep?
Who is it sits all on [C] thy grave [G]
and will [D] not let [G]
me sleep?
Tis I, [C] tis I, [D] thine own true [G]
[C] love, who [G] sits upon your grave.
[D] [Am]
[G] For I crave one kiss from your [C] sweet lips, [G] and that [D] is all [G] I seek.
You crave [C] one kiss from [D] my clay -cold [C] lips, but my [G] breath is earthy [D] strong.
[G] Had you one kiss from my clay [C]-cold [G] lips, your time [D] would [G] not be long.
My time [C] be long, [D] my [G] time [D] be [C] sure, [G] tomorrow or [D] today.
[G] May God in heaven have all [C] my soul, [G] but I'll kiss [D] your [G] lips of clay.
See, see down [C] in [D] yonder garden green, [C] love [G] where we used to [D]
walk.
[G] The sweetest flower that ever [C]
grew [G] is [D] withered to [G] the storm.
The stalk [C] is [D] withered dry, my [G] [C] love, so [G] will our hearts [D] decay.
[G] So make yourself content, [C] my [G] love, till death [D] calls [G] you away.
