Chords for The Maiden and the Selkie

[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ Once a fair and handsome seal lord, lay his foot upon the sand,
For to woo the fisher's daughter, and to claim her marriage hand,
I have come in from the ocean, I have come in from the sea,
And I'll not go to the waves, love, lest you come along with me.
_ Lord, long have I loved you, as a selkie on the foam,
I would gladly go and [Bm] wed you, and be lady of your home,
But I cannot go into the ocean, I cannot go into the sea,
I [B] would drown beneath the waves, [Bm] love, if I went along with you.
Lady, long have I loved you, [A] I would have you for my wife,
I [Bm] will stay upon your shore land, though [A] it robs me of my life,
[F#m] I will stay one night beside you, never go back to the sea,
I [Bm] will stay and be thy husband, though it be the death of me. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Lord, I cannot go and wed thee, all to [F#m] watch my lover die,
[Bm] Since I'll not be left a widow, I [F#m] have a plan for us to try,
Let us speak with my grandmother, who's ever dwelt beside the sea,
She may [D] know some trick or [Bm] treasure, that I may wed my fair selkie.
So they've gone to her grandmother's little [A] cottage by the sea,
[Bm]
To inquire how a maiden [A] can be wed to her selkie,
For this selkie's watery kingdom would surely rob her of her life,
But [Bm] to stay on land past midnight, it would surely be his death.
Lord, I know not how to aid you, you may never live on shore,
For you're kind to live till dawning, [A] that's ne'er been seen before,
But my [F#m] mother had a seal coat that she buried near the tree,
And [Bm] she told me that its wearer would become a fair selkie. _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So they've journeyed farther inland, though the seal [E] lord's getting [B] weak,
And she's shouldering the [Bm] shovel to unearth the thing they seek,
At the rising of the full moon underneath the elfin oak,
She's under that very treasure which her grandmother's kept. _
Just [B] before the stroke of midnight, they have made it back to sea,
And she's donned that magic seal coat and become a maid selkie.
Now they've gone into the ocean, [Bm] hand in hand into the sea,
She has gone along, _ _ _ a fair seal bride for her selkie. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
