[E] [Bm] [E]
[A] [E] When, [A] two years ago [E] last Christmas, Came a tempter to [A] my wife,
[F#m] Stole the only [E] flower I cherished, [B]
And I vowed I'd [E] have his life.
[A] In the street one [E] day I met him, In my eyes that [A] villain grinned,
[F#m] Then the curse of [E] pain came o'er me, [B] Was on that very [E] day I sinned.
[C#m] [A] Sure I dream as the hammer [D] strikes the anvil,
[Bm] [E] And I dream as the sparks light [A] on the floor,
[E] [A] Of my blue-eyed [E] turtle dove, She's the only [A] girl I love,
[E] As she stood outside that good old [A] smithy door.
[E] [A] Twelve months past then [E] came my trial, In the court I saw [A] my wife,
And [F#m] I heard her beg [E] for mercy, [B] When they sentenced me for life.
[E] [A] For twelve long years I've [E] read her letters, The only comfort I [A] can tell.
When [F#m] I heard that she [E] was dying, [B] T'was then my lonely spirit [E] sped.
[C#m] Sure [A] I dream as the hammer [D] strikes the anvil, [Bm] And [E] I dream as the sparks light on [A] the floor,
[E]
[A] Of my blue-eyed [E] turtle dove, She's the only [A] girl I love,
[E] As she stood outside that good old [A] smithy door.
[F#]
[B] Say, good night I [F#] doth the warder, O'er the prison [B] walls I sprang,
Then [G#] got [G#m] one foot [F#] sore and weary, [C#]
At the breaking [F#] of the [G#] dawn,
[B] She was glad, so glad to see me.
In my arms that [B] night she died, [G#m] Then the warders [F#] rushed the doorway,
[C#] And they found me there inside,
[B] When they saw her [F#] lifeless body,
And I kneeling [B] on the floor, [G#m] They said, Jack, my [F#] lad, we trust you,
Come [C#]
back when you've [F#] laid her low.
[D#m] [B] Sure I dream as the hammer [E] strikes the anvil,
[C#m] [F#] And I dream as the sparks light [B] on the floor,
[F#] [B] Of my blue-eyed [F#] turtle dove, She's the only [B] girl I love,
[F#] As she stood outside that good old smithy [Em] door.
