Verse 1
(D major) (A major) (D major) There's a cozy little cottage
where the (G major) morning glories (D major) clamber
And the ivy vines are
creeping around the (A major) door
Where the (D major) fairies' flowers are springing
and the (G major) wild birds' notes are (D major) ringing
As they echo through the (A major) woodland
o 'er and (D major) o 'er
And with (G major) in that little cottage
dwells (D major) a maiden pure and true
With (A major) hair of sunny (D major) golden
and (A major) lips of a rosy hue
And her (D major) arms around me twining
while the (G major) stars are softly (D major) shining
As she whispers,
I will (A major) love none else but (D major) you
And her (G major) voice is sweet and tender
as the (D major) moonlight on the sea
Her (A major) brown eyes softly (D major) beaming
are (A major) filled with love for me
And my (D major) happy heart is beating
while the (G major) rosy hours are (D major) fleeting
As I sit beside my (A major) darling Zelmalee
(D major) (G major) (E minor) (D major) Zelmalee, Zelmalee
As I sit beside my darling Zel (A major) malee
And my (D major) happy heart is beating
While the (G major) rosy hours are (D major) fleeting
As I sit beside my (A major) darling Zel (D major) malee
Like a winsome little fairy
With her (G major) steps so light and (D major) airy
Round the cottage she is flitting all (A major) the day
And the (D major) music of her singing
like the (G major) wild birds' notes is (D major) ringing
As it echoes in the (A major) woodland far (D major) away
And her (G major) voice is sweet and tender
as the (D major) moonlight on the sea
Her (A major) bright eyes, softly (D major) beaming,
are (A major) filled with love for me
And my (D major) happy heart is beating
while the (G major) rosy hours are (D major) fleeting
As I sit beside my (A major) darling
Zel (D major) malee (A major) (E minor)
(G major) Zelmalee, (D major) Zelmalee
As I sit beside my darling Zel (A major) malee
And my (D major) happy heart is beating
While the (G major) rosy hours are (D major) fleeting
As I sit beside my (A major) darling Zelmalee
(D major) When the nightly dew is falling
And the (G major) mockingbird is (D major) calling
Then we often stroll together
on the (A major) shore
Where the (D major) silvery waters glisten
and (G major) the wavelets seem to (D major) listen
To our vows so oft re (A major) peated
o 'er an (D major) d o 'er
Then my (G major) darling softly tells me
in her (D major) sweet and winning tone
With (A major) summer I may (D major) claim her
forever (A major) as my own
And I (D major) whisper that I love her
as the (G major) moonbeams seem to (D major) hover
With a blessing that is (A major) meant for us alone
(D major) And her (G major) voice is sweet and tender
as the (D major) moonlight on the sea
Her (A major) brown eyes softly (D major) beaming
are (A major) filled with love for me
And my (D major) happy heart is beating
while the (G major) rosy hours are (D major) fleeting
As I sit beside my (A major) darling Zel (D major) malee (G major)
(D major) Zelmalee, Zelmalee
As I sit beside my darling Zel (A major) malee
And my (D major) happy heart is beating
While the (G major) rosy hours are (D major) fleeting
As I sit beside my (A major) darlings, El (D major) moldee
