A Maid In Bedlam Chords by The John Renbourn Group

_ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ [B] _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] A broad as I was [F#m] walking, One [C#] evening in [Bm] the spring,
[C#] _ [B] I heard a maiden bellow, So [E] sweetly called to sing,
Her [B] chain she rattled with her hand, [Bm] And thus replied [A] _ she,
[Bm] I [G#m] love my love, because I know my love _
[B] loves [E] me.
[B] _ _ [A] _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [F#m] _ [Bm] Oh, [E] my cruel [F#m] _ _ parents [Bm] have been [A] too [Bm] _ unkind, They drove and [F#m] punished me,
[E] And troubled [F#m] my mind, No _ [B] _
_ _ [F#m] _ mercy [Bm] _ _
contented will [A] I be,
[Bm] I love my [E] love, because I [Bm] know my [E]
[B] love loves me.
_ _ _ [A] _
_ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _ [Bm] Would I become a swallow, _ I'd ascend into the air,
And if I lost my labour, [G#m] I [E] could not find [F#m] him there,
[E] I quickly [F#m] would become a [Bm] fish, And search the floating [A] sea,
_ [Bm] I love my [E] love, because I [Bm] know my [F#m]
[B] love loves [E] me.
[B] _ _ [A] _
_ [B] _ _ _ With [E] straw I'll [Bm] make a cord of _ candour, [C#] As it were [Bm] refined,
_ And it's the [F#m] same with roses, _ _ [E] Lily, pink and [F#m] fine,
[C#] I will [Bm] preserve it for my love, When he returns [A] from sea,
_ [Bm] I love my [E] love, because I know [B] my love loves me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Just as [E] she was [F#] sadly [A] beaten, [Bm] Her [C#] love came on [Bm] the [C#] land,
[B] E'en she was in bed alone, [E] She ran straight [B] out the pond,
And as he entered the gate, He heard her [Bm] sigh [A] and [B] say,
[Bm] I love my [E] love, because I know my love [B] loves me.
[E] _ [B] _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ [B] _ _ _ He stood and gazed at her, _ _ [F#m] Hearing his [Bm] love complain,
[F#m] He [B] could not [F#m] stand any longer, [E] He fled in [B] every _ vain,
He flew into her snowy [Bm] white arms, And mustered by [A] me,
[Bm] I love my [B] love, because [E] I know my [A] love [B] loves [E] me.
