On your low bed of death

For the sake of some scold
G 
Who'd shook you down
Am 
cold and me go  away
C 
It's such a disgrace
G 
to pass all your days
Am 
in the glare of the miser
C 
To take you a wife,
G 
take you a wife
Am 
and forever despise her
F 
To follow the flow, courtward to go
Em 
and to marry an  d feast
F 
To carry her load,
Em 
leave her a toll of worry and waste
Am

Am 
But never so much as a jug
Bm 
Em 
on the table.

Once you were lord

But now in the wood,
Am 
The black mirrors fold in
G 
our uncanny blue
D 
Em 
D 
They've taken your place
G 
There where the great spruces
Am 
loom and im  pose
C 
Well once you had Greece,
G 
Am 
a great fire of Greece burning within
C 
You gave it out hard
G 
with equal regard for
Am 
Stranger and kin
F 
And equal disdain for woman and man
Em 
For high and for low
F 
You doled it out so
You gave the same blow
Em 
To fellow and foe
Am 
But now in the dusk
Bm 
Where the long shadows lean
Am 
You find yourself lost
A 
Bm 
in a maze of unknown
Em 
C 
It's your final disgrace
G 
to pass all your days
Am 
in the glower of the miser
C 
To take you a wife,
Bm 
G 
Am 
take you a wife and forever
F 
To follow the flow, courtward to go,
Em 
to marry in haste
F 
To carry her load,
Em 
leave her a toll of worry and waste
Am 
Bm 
And give her a clutch, a kennel, a stable
Am 
Bm 
But never so much as a jug on the table
