Young Waters Chords by June Tabor

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, about you, [D] when the winds blow cold, and the round tables begin _
_ Oh, there is come to our king's court, many's the well-favoured man
The [F] queen looked over [C] the castle wall, [Dm] beheld both dale and [A] down _
And [Dm] there she spied young [Dm] _
waters come a-riding [A] to the town
_ His footman they [D] did run [Dm] before, and his horsemen rode [Dm] behind _
A mantle of the burning gold did keep him from the wind
_ [F] Golden harnessed [C] his horse before, and [Dm] silver [A] shod behind
The horse young waters [Dm] rode upon, was swifter _ [D] than [Dm] the wind _
_ Then up spoke a wily lord, and unto the queen says he _
Oh, tell me whose is the fairest face, _ rides in the [D] company
_ _ Oh, [F] I've seen [C] London, I've seen [Dm] Laird, and knights of high [A] degree
_ But [Dm] young waters is the [D] fairest [Dm] face, that ever mine [D] eyes did [Dm] see _ _
Then up spoke the jealous king, an angry man was he
_ Oh, if he had been twice as fair, you might [C] have accepted _ me
[F] You're neither lord nor [C] laird, she says, but the [Dm] king that wears [A] the crown
_ There's not a knight in all of Scotland, but to thee [C] must bow [Dm] down _
_ But for all that she could do nor say, a peasaddy would not be
_ And for the words that the queen had spoke, young waters he must die
And _ [F] they've taken young [C] waters, and [Dm] put fetters on his [A] _ feet
[Dm] And they've taken [C] young [Dm] waters, _ and thrown him in dungeon deep _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Oft have I ridden through Stirling town, in the wind both the earth and the [D] wet
But I never rode through Stirling town, with fetters on my _ feet
_ [F] Oft have I ridden through [C] Stirling town, in [D] the wind both the earth [A] and the wet _
But [D] I never rode through Stirling town, never to return _ again
_ [Dm] Oh, they've taken [D] to the [Dm] Eddinghill, his young son and his [Dm] great-aunt
And they've taken to the _ Eddinghill, his horse, both [D] tall and his saddle
_ _ [F] And they've taken to the [C] Eddinghill, [Dm] his lady fair [A] to see
_ And [Dm] for the words that [D] the queen had spoke, young waters he'd [Dm] die
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
