Verse 1
As (E minor) I walked (B major) forth (E minor) one (C major) summer's (G major) day,
To view the (E minor) meadows (D major) green and (G major) gay,
A pleas (D major) ant bower (E minor) I es (B major) pied,
(G major) (B minor) Standing (G major) fast by (A minor) the river (E minor) side,
(G major) And in (B minor) to maid (D major) en I (G major) heard cry,
Alas, (B major) alas, (A minor) there's none
as loved (B major) as (E minor) I.
Then round the (B major) mead (E minor) ow (C major) did she (G major) walk,
Catching each flower (D major) by (G major) the stalk,
Such flower (D major) s as (E minor) in
the meadow blue. (G major)
(B minor) The dead (G major) man's thum (A minor) b
(E minor) an d her ball blew,
(G major) And as she bowed (D major) them still cried (G major) she,
Alas, (B major) alas, there's (A minor) none a
(E minor) -loved like thee.
The flowers of the sweetest
(C major) scent (G major) s
She bound (E minor) about (G major) with naughty bents,
And as (D major) she bound (E minor) them up in bands
(G major) She (B minor) wept, (G major) she sighed,
(A minor) and wrung (E minor) her (G major) hands
Alas, (B minor) alas, (D major) alas (G major) cried she
Alas, (B major) alas, there's (A minor) none a (B major) -loved (E minor) like me
When she had (B major) filled (C major) her apron
(G major) full of such green (E minor) things as
(D major) she (G major) could cull,
the green (D major) leaves softened (E minor) for her (B major) bed,
(B minor) the (G major) flowers were the pil
(A minor) low for (E minor) her (G major) head,
When doubt she made, (D major)
(G major) ne 'er more did speak,
Alas, (A minor) alas, (B major) with (A minor) love her (E minor) heart (B major) (E minor) did break.
