(words from the Joan Baez version)
A
ACome all ye fair and tender ladies.
Be careful how you court young Emen.
They're like a BmstarE on a summer's Amorning.
E Bm E A Asus4*
They'll first appear and then they're gone.
AThey'll tell you some loving story
They'll declare to you their love is Etrue
Then they will Bmgo E and court some Aother
E Bm E A Asus4*
And that's the love they have for you
ADo you remember our days of courting
When your head lay upon my Ebreast
You could make me BmbelieveE with falling of your Aarm
E Bm E A Asus4*
That the sun rose in the West
AI wish I was a little sparrow,
And I had wings with which to Efly
Right over to Bmsee E my false true-Alover,
E Bm E A Asus4*
And when he's talking I'd be nigh.
ABut I'm not a little sparrow,
I have no wings with which to Efly
So I sit BmhereE in grief and Asorrow,
To weep and EpassBm my Etroubles Aby.
