Verse 1
When (G major) first a minter sued for a (C major) kiss,
My innocent (G major) heart was (D major) tender,
(G major) That though I pushed
(C major) him away from the place,
My eyes declared (D major) my heart was (G major) one.
I feel an artful coyness would (C major) use,
Before I the (A major) fault did sur (G major) render,
But love would suffer
(C major) no more such a blouse,
And (G major) soon, alas, my cheat (D major) was (G major) known.
He'd sit all day and laugh and (C major) play,
A thousand (G major) pretty (C major) things would (D major) say.
My hand he'd (G major) squeeze (C major) an
d press my (G major) knees
(C major) Till further (G major) on he (D major) bought my degrees. (G major)
My heart, just like a vessel at (C major) sea,
Would (A major) toss when a Mintus came (D major) near (G major) me,
But ah, so cunning a (C major) pilot was he,
Through (G major) doubts and fears
he'd (D major) still sail (G major) on.
I thought in him no danger (C major) could be,
So wisely (A major) he knew how (D major) to steer me.
(G major) But soon a lapse (C major) was brought to agree,
To taste (G major) of joys (D major) before
un (G major) known.
Where might he boost
his faith at (C major) last?
How soon he found the golden (D major) coast.
Enjoy'd the (G major) oar,
and (C major) touch'd the (G major) shore,
(C major) Where never (G major) merchant went before.
