pretty fair miss chords by Daniel Martin Moore
Verse 1
G
D
G
Gm
Pretty fair miss down in the garden
G
When a brave young soldier
D
come riding by
G
And he stepped up and
as he addressed her
D
G
D
Said, pretty fair miss,
Gm
G
won't you be my bride?
Gm
G
O no kind sir, replied the maiden,
D
Though a man of honour you may be,
G
How can you impose on
a fair young maiden
D
Who never intends your
G
Gm
bride to be?
G
For I've a true love for the ocean,
D
G
D
Yes, seven years across the sea,
G
And if he stays for seven years longer,
D
G
No man on earth can marry me.
D
Well, perhaps he's
G
drowned in the ocean
D
Or he may be on a battlefield slain
G
Or he may be to a pretty girl married
D
Gm
G
And you may never see him again
Gm
G
Well, if he's drowned,
I hope he's restin'
D
Or if he's on a battlefield slain
G
Or if he's to some pretty girl married
D
G
Gm
I'll love the one that married him
G
Gm
G
Gm
Then he ran his hand down in his pocket,
G
D
his fingers being both long and slim,
G
and he drew forth a ring she'd given,
D
G
a ring that she had given him.
Gm
D
G
She threw her lovin'
at alarms around him
D
And straight before him she did fall
G
Said you're the very man
D
that used to court me
G
D
G
Gm
G
Before you went away to war
And they walked down that
path together,
D
His arm around her waist so trim,
G
And he told her a beautiful story,
D
And then she gave her heart
Gm
G
Gm
to him.
Thank
pretty fair miss
