[B] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] As _ _ _ _ _ _ I went a-walking [B] one morning [E] in May _
_ I _ spy'd a young couple so fondly [B] stray _ _
_ [E] One _ _ was a young maid so sweet and [B] so fair _ _
_ [E] And the other one was [A] a soldier [B] and a brave _ [E] grenadier _
And they kissed so [A] sweet and comforting [B] as they [E] clung to each other _ _
_ They were tied in an arm along the road like [B] sister and brother _ _ _
[E] They were tied in an arm along the road till they came to [B] a stream _ _ _
[E] And they both sat [A] down together, love, [B] to hear the _ [E] nightingale sing _ _
One out of his [B] knapsack he took [E] a fine fiddle _ _ _
And he played such a merry tune that you heard it [B] here
_ He _ [E] played such a merry tune that the [A] folly used to [B] ring _ _ _
[E] And they both sat [A] down together, love, to [B] hear the _ [E] nightingale sing _ _ _
And they kissed so [A] sweet and comforting [B] as they clung to [E] each _ other _ _
They were tied in an arm along the road like [B] sister and brother _ _ _
[E] They were tied in an arm along the road till they came to [B] a stream _ _
[E] And they both sat [A] down together, love, to [B] hear the _ [E] nightingale sing _ _ _
_ Then said the stern maid, [B] will you [E] marry me? _ _ _
Oh no, said the soldier, _ however [F#m] can [B] that be? _ _ _
[E] For I have a wife at home in [C#m] my own _ [B] country
_ _ [G#m] _ _
[E] And she is the [A] fairest gift of maid [B] that you ever [E] did see _ _ _ _
And they kissed so [A] sweet and comforting [B] as they clung to [E] each _ other _
They were tied in an arm along the road like [B] sister and brother
_ _ They [E] were tied in an arm along the road till they came to [B] a stream _ _ _
[E] And they both sat [A] down together, love, to hear [B] the _ [E] nightingale sing _ _ _
Now I'm off to Vienna [B] for seven [E] long years _ _
Drinking wine and strong whiskey and [C#m] lots of [B] strong beer
_ But _
[E] if ever I return again it will be in [B] the spring _ _ _
Then [E] we'll both sit down [A] together, love, to [B] hear the _ [E] nightingale sing _ _ _
And they kissed so [A] sweet and comforting [B] as they clung to [E] each _ other _
They were tied in an arm along the road like sister [B] and brother _ _
They [E] were tied in an arm along the road till they came [C#m] to [B] a stream _ _
And [E] they both sat down [A] together, love, to [B] hear the _ [E] nightingale sing
And they kissed so [A] sweet and comforting [B] as they clung to [E] each other
_ _ They were tied in an arm along the road like sister [B] and brother
_ _ They [E] were tied in an arm along the [C#m] road till they came to [B] a stream
_ And [E] they both sat [A] down together, love, to [B] hear the _ nightingale sing
