Chords for Ralph McTell - Girl from the Hiring Fair

I'm gonna play a song called the girl from the hiring fair which I wrote originally for Fairport _ _ _
_ _ _ It's touch-and-go whether [E] they recorded it actually, but they changed their minds and recorded and I think it's been a repertoire
_ Ever since 1986 so I still think this is one of the new songs, but anyway _ _
Here is the girl from the hiring fair.

_ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] I went down [C] to the hiring [G] fair for the [D] summer labor _
[Em] I noticed the maid [C] in the very next [G] row and I [Bm] hope she'd be [C] my neighbor _
[G] Imagine that [D] my delight when [Em] the farmer picked us [C] both
_ [D] _ [G] I spoke not a word [C] on the cart to the farm
_ _ _ But my heart beat in [Em] my throat _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] My lodging was dry [C] my last affair
[G]
I gave him [D] full measure
_ [E] But my envy grew [C] like the corn in the [G] field for his house was [C] my treasure
And [G]
I'd watch her [D] carry water
[E] Or drive cars from [C] the buyer [D] _ [G] and the heat from the Sun made [C] the corn grow strong
_ _ _ and with it my
[Em] _ desire _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ I
Would [Em] see her in [C] my dreaming [G] and in my dreams [D] caress
[Em] Her eyes her lips her [C] dark brown hair the [F#] curves [C] beneath her dress
_ [G] But the harvest time [D] it came at last [Em] and so heavy was [C] the task
[D] But [G] the women and the men [C] walked side by _ side
_ _ And I had a year [Em] at last I _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ Swung harder [C] with my sigh a few [G] words between us [D] passed
_ [Em] And I cursed my tongue [C]-tied youthfulness
[G] And I hope she'd hear [C] my heart
when [G] all was safely [D] gathered and _
[Em] We sat down [C] to rest
[D] _
[Bm] my trembling [C] fingers _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And she placed them on [Em] the breast _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
Then she [Em] turned to me [C] as the Sun went [G] down on all my senses [D]
real
_ [Em] We lay there [C] on the center [D] ground
_ [F#] _ Rose [C] over the field

_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] She was safely [C] gathered in [G] my arms went [D] from the bar
_ [Em] Drifted the [C] sound of the violin [Bm] and we hurried back to [C] the farm
_ and [G] all
Dancing [D] the lantern light and [Em] music
_ [C]
And _ [D] _ [G] I think my stars [C] will _ _ _ _ _ _
On _ _ the girl from the [Em] hiring _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh
[G] _ _ Dancing in [D] the lantern light [Em] and music
