Verse 1
(D major) When a man's in (G major) love (D major) he feels
no cold (G major) as I not (D major) long ago (C major)
As (D major) a hero bold (G major) to (D major) see my (C major) girl (G major) I
ploughed (D major) through frost and snow
And the moon she gently shed her
light (C major) along (D major) my dreary way
(C major) un (D major) til at length I came to the spot where
(G major) all (D major) my treasure lay. I knocked on my
love's window saying my (G major) dear are (D major) you (C major) within
and (D major) softly she undid the latch (G major) so
slyly (D major) I stepped in.
Her hand was soft and her breath was (C major) sweet,
(D major) and her tongue it did gently
glide. (C major) (D major) I stole a kiss, it was no miss,
and I asked her to be my bride.
Oh, take me to your chamber, love,
Oh, (G major) take (D major) me to your (C major) bed.
(D major) Oh, take me to your chamber, (C major) love,
To (G major) rest (D major) my weary head.
But to (C major) take you (D major) to my chamber, (C major) love,
(D major) My parents would never agree.
(C major) So (D major) sit you down there by
Unter
Fire, and I'll sit close by thee.
O many's the time, frost and (C major) snow,
I've (G major) come to (D major) visit (C major) you.
(D major) Weather tossed about by cold wintry (C major) winds,
or (G major) wet (D major) by the morning dew.
But to (C major) night our (D major) courtship's at a (C major) close,
(D major) Between you, love, and (C major) me.
(D major) So fare you well, my own favourite girl,
A long farewell to thee.
Yes, many's the (G major) time
(D major) I've courted you
(C major) Again (G major) st your (D major) parent (C major) s' will,
But (D major) you never said you'd be my bride
So now, my girl, sit still
For tonight I am going to cross the (C major) sea
Too (D major) far off
Columbia's (C major) shore
An (D major) d you will never, ever see
Your youthful lover more
Oh are you going to leave me (C major) now?
(D major) Oh (G major) pray, (D major) what can I (C major) do? (D major) I will
break through every
bond of home and come along with you. I know my parents won't forget,
but surely they'll
for (C major) give.
(D major) So from this hour I am resolved,
along with you I will live.
