Verse 1
the morn bright and clear,
All the sun it shone brightly,
F#

and keen blew the air.
I went to the forest
to gather fine flowers,
E
B
But the forest would yield me no roses
C#m
B
The roses are red
C#m
F#
and the leaves they are green,
B
C#m
all the bushes and briars,
E
F#
a joy to be seen,
B
F#
and the small birds are singing
B
F#

and and changing their nose down among
C#m
F#

the wild beast s of the forest.
The first time I saw my love,
B

made my eyes run and water,
F#

well I might have been that one,
B
C#m
but she's left me and gone
E

with another.

she did in the church stand

Go dig me my grave,

and take a long sleep
B
C#m
And that's the best way
E
F#
B
to forget her
You
