Verse 1
(C major) (F major) (G major) (C major) As I went a -walkin'
and a (G major) -ramblin' one day, (C major)
I spied a young couple
so fondly did stray. (G major)
And one (C major) was a young maid
so sweet and so fair, (G major)
And the (C major) other one was a (F major) soldier
and a (G major) brave grenadier.
and (C major) they kissed so sweet and (F major) comforting
as they (G major) clung to each (C major) other.
They went arm and arm down the road
like sister and broth (G major) er.
They went (C major) arm and arm down the road
till they came to a stream (G major)
and they both (C major) sat down togeth (F major) er
and loved to hear the (G major) nightingale sing. (C major)
Then out of his knapsack
he drew (G major) a fine (C major) fiddle
And he played her such merry tunes
that you ever did hear (G major)
And he (C major) played her such merry tunes
that the valleys did ring (G major)
Softly (C major) cried the (F major) fair maid,
hear the (G major) nightingale sing (C major)
And they'd kiss so sweet and (F major) comforting
as they clung (G major) to each (C major) other
They went arm -in -arm down the road
like sister and brother (G major)
They went (C major) arm -in -arm down the road
till they came to a stream (G major)
And they both (C major) sat down togeth (F major) er,
loved to hear the (G major) nightingale sing (C major)
Well, I'm off to India for
sev (G major) en long years (C major)
Drinking wine and strong whiskey
instead of pale beers (G major)
And if (C major) ever I return again
it'll be in the (G major) spring
And we'll (C major) both sit down togeth (F major) er,
love, to hear the (G major) nightingale sing (C major)
And they kiss so sweet and (F major) comforting
as they clung (G major) to each (C major) other
They went arm in arm down the road
like sister and brother (G major)
They went arm (C major) -in -arm down the road
till they came to a stream (G major)
And they (C major) both sat down togeth (F major) er
and loved to hear the (G major) nightingale
sing (C major) (F major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (C major) (F major) (G major) (C major)
Well now, says the fair maid,
will you (G major) marry me? (C major)
Oh no, says the soldier,
how ever can that be? (G major)
For (C major) I've me own wife at
home in me own country
(G major) And sure (C major) she is the fairest (F major) little thing
that you (G major) ever did see
(C major) And they kiss so sweet and (F major) comforting
as they drum (G major) to each (C major) other
They went arm -in -arm down the road
Like sister and brother (G major)
They went (C major) arm -in -arm down the road
Till they came to a stream (G major)
And they (C major) both sat down togeth (F major) er
Loved to hear the (G major) nightingale sing
