Tuning: E A D G B E
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
Dm
[Verse 1]
Abroad as I was walking, one evening in the spring
G Dm
I heard a maid in Bedlam, who mournfully did sing
Am Dm Am Dm C
Her chains she rattled on her hands, and thus replied she
Dm C Dm
"I love my love because I know my love loves me"
[Verse 2]
"Oh, cruel were his parents who sent my love to sea
G Dm
And cruel was the sailing ship that bore my love from me
Am Dm Am Dm C
Yet, I love his parents, since they''re his, although they''ve ruined me
Dm C Dm
I love my love because I know my love loves me"
[Verse 3]
"With straw I''ll weave a garland, I''ll weave it wondrous fine
G Dm
With roses, lilies, daisies I''ll mix the eglantine
Am Dm Am Dm C
And I''ll present it to my love, when he returns from sea
Dm C Dm
I love my love because I know my love loves me"
[Verse 4]
Just as she sat there weeping, her love, he came on land
G Dm
Then hearing she was in Bedlam, he ran straight out of hand
Am Dm Am Dm C
He flew into her snow-white arms, and thus replied he
Dm C Dm
"I love my love because I know my love loves me"
[Verse 5]
She said, "My love, don''t frighten me, are you my love or no?"
G Dm
"Oh yes, my dearest Nancy, I am your love also
Am Dm Am Dm C
I am returned to make amends for all your injury
Dm C Dm
I love my love because I know my love loves me
C Dm
I love my love because I know my love loves me"
