We are going to do right now a gentle ballet.
Yes, even amid the ambient distraction of the fair,
I know you're thinking,
wow, this guy is not afraid to take a career risk.
[F] It's happened all season.
[B] [D] All right, the song tells a story, as all good songs do.
Here's the story.
In the 12th century, a hospital was [D#] founded in the British Isles.
It was originally [E] known as Our Lady Mary of [D] Bethlehem.
But by the 16th century, [F] the hospital had been converted.
[D] And now it had become wholly devoted to the care and keeping
of the insane,
of the incorrigible,
of the debauched,
of the mentally and emotionally shut on.
Most of the entertainers you'll see here today.
[N] And the name was shortened from Our Lady Mary of Bethlehem
and it came to be known infamously.
And it came to be known infamously in the English tongue as [C#] Bedlam.
This is the story [F#] of one young lady in chains.
[C#] In handcuffs.
[E]
[B] [Em] But as I was walking one [B] evening in the spring,
I [Em] heard a maid in [F#m] bedlam so [B] sweetly for to [C#m] sing.
Her [E] chain she [C#] wrapped around her [G] hand [Em] and thus [C#m] replied [C#] she,
I love [G] my love because I [E] knew my love [B] loved me.
[Em] And so were his [D] parents [Em] and sent [B] my love [E] to [B] sea.
[Em] And so that was the galleon [G] that [A] bore my love from [E] [B] me.
[Em] And I love [A] his parents [B] since there is [C] although they've [B] ruined me.
And I love my [G]
love because [A] I knew [Em] my love [F#]
loved me.
[B]
[Em] With straw I weave a [D] garland,
I [Em] heal with it [C] the pain in mine.
[B]
With roses, [Em] daisies, [D] lilies, [A] I'll mix the egg and [F#] thyme.
[D#] And I'll [A] present it [F#] to my [G] love when [B] he returns to sea.
For I love [A] my love because [B] I knew my love loved me.
But [Em] as she there sat [G] weeping for [E] her love,
he came [B] on land.
And feeling she was [G] in [F#m] bedlam, he [A] ran straight [E] out of hand.
[G] He flew [A] into [C#] her snow-white [G] arms [Em] and thus [C#] replied he,
I love [G] my love because I [Em] knew my love loved [B] me.
So now these two [C] are [G] married [C] and happy, [F#] they say.
[E] As good as does [G] to gather [A] in love and [E] unity,
[B] [C] all pretty [A] maids with [C#] patience [G] wait [Em] that I've got [C#m] love [B] to see.
For [Em] I love my love because [F#m] I [Em] knew my love [B]
[E] loved me.
