Key: Db major
Verse 1
the morn bright and clear,
All the sun it shone brightly,
A
D
and keen blew the air.
I went to the forest
to gather fine flowers,
G
D
But the forest would yield me no roses
Em
D
The roses are red
Em
A
and the leaves they are green,
D
Em
all the bushes and briars,
G
A
a joy to be seen,
D
A
and the small birds are singing
D
A
D
and and changing their nose down among
Em
A
D
Em
D
the wild beasts of the forest.
The first time I saw my love,
D
Em
made my eyes run and water,
A
D
A
well I might have been that one,
D
Em
but she's left me and gone
G
A
D
with another.
The last time I saw my love,
A
D
she did in the church stand
D
A
My love she has left me
A
D
Em
for she's gone to be wed
G
A
D
to an other
the parson that married them aloud
A
D
Em
he did cry all you that forbid it
A
D
A
Sure, I've a good reason why,
D
Em
G
A
D
But I had not the heart to forbid it.
Go dig me my grave,
A
D
Dig it long, wide and deep,
Em
G
A
I uncover it over with flowers so sweet
D
A
That I might lie down there
D
A
and take a long sleep
D
Em
And that's the best way
G
A
D
to forget her
You
