[G]
When
[D]
[A]
[D] does blow
[C] today my love, [A] a few [D] small drops [C] of rain.
[D]
[A] I never
[G] had but one true [D] love, [E] in a cold [C] grave she
[D] lies slain.
I'll
[E] do [D] as much [G] for my true [D] love,
[A] as any
[G] young man [C] may.
[D]
[E] I'll sit [G] and mourn [C] all at her [A] grave, [E] for twelve months [C] and a [D] day.
The
[G] twelve months [C] and a [D] day being [Em] up, [G] the dead [C] began to [D] speak.
[G]
Oh who [Bm] sits [C] weeping [D]
on my [Em]
grave, [E] and will not [C]
let me [D]
sleep.
It's [A] me my [G]
love, [C] sits on your [D]
grave, [Am] and will not [G]
let [C] you sleep.
[D]
[A] I crave one [G]
kiss of your [C]
cold clay [D]
lips, [E] and that is [C]
all [D] I see.
[G]
You crave one [C] kiss of my [D]
cold [Em] clay lips, [G]
my breath [C]
smells earthly [D]
strong.
[G] If you've one [C]
kiss of my [D]
cold [Em] clay lips, your time will [C]
not [D] be long.

green, [A]
love [G] where we used [C] to [D]
walk.
The [Am]
finest [G]
flower [C]
that ever [D] was seen, [Em]
is [C] withered to [D] a stalk.
[G] The stalk is
[C] withered [D]
dry [Em] my love, [G]
so will our [C] hearts [D]
decay.
So [Bm]
make yourself [D]
content [Em] my love, till God [C]
calls [G] you away.
