Intro 1
(C major) (F major) (C major)
Verse 1
After (C major) the
Morning
There comes an evening
And after evening, another day
And after false love,
there comes a true love
I'll have you listen now to what I say
I swear my love is as fair a
young (Csus4) (C major) man,
As fair as any the sun shines on.
And how to save (Csus4) him,
(C major) I do (Csus4) not know (C major) it,
For he has got his sentence for today.
As he rode out through
(Csus4) the (C major) (Csus4) street (C major) s of
Derry I'm sure he rode upright, manfully
Been much more like a
commanding officer
Than a man to hang (Csus4) upon (C major) the
gallows tree (F major) (C major) (F major) (C major) (F major) (C major)
What else, my love,
won't she so long in coming
Oh, what has kept her so long from me? (F major)
(C major) Perhaps she paints it some
shame (Csus4) (C major) or scandal
For a man to hang (Csus4) (C major) upon
(Csus4) the gallows (C major) tree
He looked around and he saw her coming
And she was dressed all in woolen fine
The (Csus4) weary steed (C major) that my love was riding
It flew more swiftly than the wind
(Csus4) Come (C major) down, come down from that cruel gallows
(Csus4) I've got your pardon from the (C major) king
And I'll let them see that
they dare not have you
And I'll crown my love with a
bunch of greens (F major) (C major)
Outro 1
ooo....
