Verse 1
C#m C#m 
 
G# G# 
 
C#m C#m 
 
A A 
 
E E 
 
As    I walked forth one   summer's day,
C#m C#m 
 
B B 
 
E E 
 
To view the meadows green and gay,
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
G# G# 
 
A pleasant bower I espied,
E E 
 
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 
F#m F#m 
 
C#m C#m 
 
Standing fast by the riverside,
E E 
 
G#m G#m 
 
B B 
 
E E 
 
And into maiden I heard cry,
G# G# 
 
F#m F#m 
 
Alas, alas, there's none
G# G# 
 
C#m C#m 
 
as loved as  I.
G# G# 
 
C#m C#m 
 
A A 
 
E E 
 
Then round the meadow    did she walk,
B B 
 
E E 
 
Catching each flower by the stalk,
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
Such flowers as in
E E 
 
the meadow blue.
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 
F#m F#m 
 
The dead man's thumb
C#m C#m 
 
an    d her ball blew,
E E 
 
B B 
 
E E 
 
And as she bowed them still cried she,
G# G# 
 
F#m F#m 
 
Alas, alas, there's none  a
C#m C#m 
 
-loved like thee.
The flowers of the sweetest
A A 
 
E E 
 
scents
C#m C#m 
 
E E 
 
She bound about with naughty bents,
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
And as she bound them up in bands
E E 
 
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 
She wept, she sighed,
F#m F#m 
 
C#m C#m 
 
E E 
 
and wrung her   hands
G#m G#m 
 
B B 
 
E E 
 
Alas, alas, alas cried she
G# G# 
 
F#m F#m 
 
G# G# 
 
C#m C#m 
 
Alas, alas, there's none  a -loved like me
G# G# 
 
A A 
 
When she had filled her apron
E E 
 
C#m C#m 
 
full of such green things as
B B 
 
E E 
 
she could cull,
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
G# G# 
 
the green leaves softened for her bed,
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 
the   flowers were the pil
F#m F#m 
 
C#m C#m 
 
E E 
 
low   for her   head,
B B 
 
When doubt she made,
E E 
 
ne 'er more did speak,
F#m F#m 
 
G# G# 
 
F#m F#m 
 
C#m C#m 
 
G# G# 
 
C#m C#m 
 
Alas, alas, with love  her heart did   break.
