Verse 1
(G major) Come all you fair (C minor) an (G major) d (C minor) tender ladies, (B minor) (F minor)
(F major) Take (G major) a warning how (C major) you (G major)
(D major) court young (G minor) men.
(B minor) They're (D major) (B minor) like a bright star
on a cloudy morning.
First they'll appear
and then (D major) they're (B minor) gone. (E minor) (G major)
(D major) They'll tell (B minor) to you some (D major) lov (B minor) ing story,
de (G major) clare (E minor) (B minor) to you (D major) their love
is true. (B minor)
Straight away they'll go,
and they'll court another,
and that is the (D major) love (E major) they (B minor) have for you.
I wished (B minor) I was some little sparrow,
(E minor) (G major) (B minor) that I had wings and I could (F sharp minor) fly.
(B minor) I would fly away to my
(D major) false (B minor) true lover,
and whilst he'd talk, (E minor) (B minor) I'd sit and cry.
But (E minor) I (B minor) am not no little sparrow,
(E minor) (A minor) I've (C major) got (B minor) no wings (D major) an d I can't fly.
(B minor) So I'll sit right (D major) here in
(E major) my grief (E minor) an (B minor) d sorrow
an (G major) d (B minor) pass my troubles (D major) (B minor) by and by.
