Verse 1
the morn bright and clear,
All the sun it shone brightly,
B
E
and keen blew the air.
I went to the forest
to gather fine flowers,
A
E
But the forest would yield me no roses
F#m
E
The roses are red
F#m
B
and the leaves they are green,
E
F#m
all the bushes and briars,
A
B
a joy to be seen,
E
B
and the small birds are singing
E
B
E
and and changing their nose down among
F#m
B
E
F#m
E
the wild beast s of the forest.
The first time I saw my love,
E
F#m
made my eyes run and water,
B
E
B
well I might have been that one,
E
F#m
but she's left me and gone
A
B

with another.
The last time I saw my love,
B

she did in the church stand
E

My love she has left me
B

But I had not the heart to forbid it.
Go dig me my grave,
B

Dig it long, wide and deep,

I uncover it over with flowers so sweet
E

That I might lie down there
E

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