Pretty Fair Maid In The Garden by Tim Obrien
Pretty Fair Maid In The Garden
G
Pretty fair maid was in her garden
Em D G
When a stranger came a-riding by
F#m Em
He came up to the gate and called her
D G
Said pretty fair maid would you be my bride
G
Said I've a true love who's in the army
Em D G
And he's been gone for seven long years
F#m Em
And if he's gone for seven years longer
D G
I'll still be waiting for him here
G
Perhaps he's on some watercourse drowning
Em D G
Perhaps he's on some battlefield slain
F#m Em
Perhaps he's to a fair girl married
D G
And you may never see him again
G
Well if he's drowned, I hope he's happy
Em D G
Or if he's on some battlefield slain
F#m Em
And if he's to some fair girl married
D G
I'll love the girl that married him
G
He took his hand out of his pocket
Em D G
And on his finger he wore a golden ring
F#m Em
And when she saw that band a-shining
D G
A brand new song her heart did sing
G
And then he threw his arms all around her
Em D G
Kisses gave her one, two, three
F#m Em
Said I'm your true and loving soldier
D G
That's come back home to marry thee
G
Pretty fair maid was in her garden
Em D G
When a stranger came a-riding by
F#m Em
He came up to the gate and called her
D G
Said pretty fair maid would you be my bride
