I Live Not Where I Love Chords by Steeleye Span

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ A lot of the songs we sing are traditional.
And this _ next one is [Ab] one that we've been singing,
well, I've been singing probably the longest of any of the songs.
And it's nice when a song can last for a lot of years, _
_ singing over and over again.
And it's about absent love.
[F] _ I'll sing it for little Alexander.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [C] _ Give it [G] a distance, [D] _ many miles off [G] your _ swain,
_ [D] Come a _ _ -tween [C] this very moment, _ [D]
or do I _ some _ _ time.
_ Singing _ sweetly, _ _ _ _ _ angels [C] of pleasure _ [G] and of love,
For [D] my heart is with [G] you all together,
Though [C] I live not [G] where [C] I lie, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [D] _ Sleep I [C]
dream [G] about you,
When I wave _ no rest,
_ [D]
On every _ moment _ [G] thinking of you,
My [C] heart e'er fixed [G] in [C] your _ breast.
[D] _
Although far distant, _ _ _ _
With _ _ [C] _ this [G] love too _ rude,
Yet [D] my heart is with him all together,
Though [C] I _ live [G] where [C] I lie, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D]
The world [G] shall be one religion,
The [C] living _ thing shall cease [G] to die,
_ _ _ [C] Before [D] they prove [G] false to my jewel,
Or [C] anywhere I'll _ [G] deny.
[C] _
_ _ [D] The world shall change and be more strange,
If [Dm] they _ my [G] mind _ _ remove,
[C] For my [D] heart is with him all [Bm] together,
[D] Though I live where I _ [F] lie. _

_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ Come [D] all you maids that live [Bm] at a distance,
_ [D] Many _ miles off your [G] _ swain,
_ [C] Come [D] and assist me [Bm] this very moment,
[C] Or do _ pass [G] away [C] some _ time.
_ [G] _ Singing _ [D] sweetly, _ _ _ angels [G] of [Em] _ _ pleasure [G] and of _ love,
For my [D] heart _ _
[G] _ _ is with you all together,
Though [D]
I [Em] live [G] not where I [C] lie.
