Verse 1
(D major) (A major) (D major) Her mother died
when she was young,
which (G major) gave her (D major) cause to grieve (A major) and mourn.
Her father (D major) mar (A major) ried the (D major) very worst woman
that (G major) ever lived (A major) in (D major) Christendom.
She served her stepmother (A major) night (D major) and day (A major)
(D major) In everything that (A major) (D major) she (B minor) could (A major) do
Till once, (G major) when (D major) in (G major) a fit of rage (D major)
(G major) She threw her over (D major) (A major) a (D major) crag of the sea
Saying, cry there, young Isabel
And (G major) all my sorrows lie (A major) with (D major) thee
Till Kempoen shall (A major) come (D major) to the crag
And (G major) break their spell (D major) with kisses three
Her breath grew strong (A major) (D major) an
d her hair grew long (A major)
(D major) Twisted three (A major) times (B minor) round (A major) the tree
And (G major) all the people (D major) far (G major) and (D major) near
Thought (G major) that a (D major) savage beast was she
And how she cried (A major) for Kemperwyn (D major)
That (G major) he might come but near (A major) to her hand
Word (D major) has gone (A major) to Kemperwyn (D major)
That (G major) such a beast (A major) was (D major) in his land
So he has (A major) built a bon (D major) nie boat (A major)
Set (B minor) it (A major) sailing on (D major) the (B minor) sea
(A major) But before (G major) he reached (D major)
a mile (G major) from the (D major) land,
the (G major) beast had set (A major) the (D major) red fire free.
(A major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(A major) (D major)
So he has taken up his bow
and he's (G major) aimed an arrow
at (A major) her head
(D major) Swore if she'd (A major) not quit (D major) the land,
With (G major) that same shaft (A major) (D major) he
would shoot her dead.
Oh, I'll not rise (A major) out of (D major) my den, (A major)
Though (D major) it is not (A major) for fear (D major) of (A major) thee,
Till Kempoen, (G major) (D major) the (G major) king's own (D major) son,
Shall come (G major) to the crag (D major) and kiss with me.
Her breath was strong (A major) and
her hair (D major) was long (A major)
(D major) Twis (B minor) ted (A major) three times (B minor) round the tree
(A major) And away (G major) she swam, (D major) again (G major) she came
(D major) Singing boom (G major) to the (A major) crag
(D major) and kiss with me
Now I have a royal sword, she said
That I found in the salt salt (G major) sea
And while your body it is on
Drawn shall your (D major) blood nev (G major) er be
But if you'll touch me, Tylel or Finn
I swear this sword (D major) (A major) your death (D major) shall be
He leaned (B minor) him over, (A major) East (D major) more cried
And about (G major) the tree she
came (A major) with a swing
He (D major) stepped (A major) in, her (D major) a kiss,
and the (G major) royal (D major) sword he (A major)
has (D major) brought with him
Her breath was strong (A major) (D major) and
her hair was long (A major)
(D major) Twisted (B minor) twice (A major) about (D major) the tree
(A major) and away (G major) she swam
(D major) Again (G major) she came (D major) singing,
(G major) come to (D major) the crag and kiss with me
Oh, I have a royal belt, she said, (A major)
(D major) That (G major) I found (A major) in the salt, (D major) salt sea, (A major)
And while (G major) your body it is on,
Drawn shall your blood never be,
But if you'll touch (D major) me, (G major) tail or (D major) fin,
(G major) I swear your death (A major) this (D major) belt shall be.
He leaned him over (A major) his (D major) small frog
and about (G major) the tree she came (A major) with a swing
He (D major) stepped in (A major) , gave her a (D major) kiss
(G major) and the royal bounty (A major)
was (D major) brought with him
Her breath was strong (A major) and
her (D major) hair was long (A major)
Twis (G major) ted (D major) once (A major) about (D major) the tree
(A major) and away (G major) she swam (D major)
Again (G major) she came (D major) singing, (G major) Mum,
to the Prague, (A major) a kiss with (D major) me
Oh, I have a royal ring, she said,
that I found (A major) in (D major) the salt, (G major) salt sea (A major)
And while (G major) your body (D major) (G major) it is on drawn,
Charlie, your blood never be
(D major) But (G major) if you (E minor) touch me, tail or (D major) (G major) fin,
I swear this ring (D major) (A major) your (D major) death shall be
He (B minor) leaned him over (A major) each (D major) small crag
and about (G major) the (D major) tree (G major) she came (A major)
With a swing he (D major) stepped in (A major) ,
gave (D major) her a kiss
And (G major) the royal ring (D major) he
has brought with him
Her breath was sweet, (A major)
her (D major) hair grew short (A major)
(D major) Twisted no (A major) more (D major) on the tree
(A major) and away (G major) she swam
(D major) Again (G major) she came, (D major)
the (G major) fairest wo (D major) man that you ever did see
(A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(A major) (D major)
Oh, was it a werewolf of the wood?
Was (G major) it a mermaid on (A major) the sea?
(D major) Was it a man or a vile witch -woman?
My (G major) own (D major) true love that misshaped thee?
No, it wasn't a werewolf of the wood,
Nor was it a mermaid on (A major) the sea,
But (G major) it was my (D major) own step (G major) of (D major) love
A (G major) cruel and (A major) wicked woman is (D major) she
A heavy curse (A major) will light (D major) her on (A major)
Her (D major) hair will (B minor) grow (A major) rough,
her teeth (D major) grow long (A major)
And (G major) on her fore (D major) feet she (G major) will crawl
All (E minor) alone, (D major) condemned (G major) to be
(A major) And (E minor) in the worms (F sharp minor) wood she (G major) will dwell
(A major) And (G major) on this bough (A major) she will (D major) never go
free (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (A major)
(D major) you
