[Intro]
G Am7 D G Am7 D G
[Verse 1]
Tell me, Mother, who will I marry?
Am7 D G
Tell me as we stitch
While my father loves to tarry
Am7 D G
Under a drunken ditch
[Verse 2]
Her mother said you are a princess
Am7 D G
And you will seek your kind
He will sweep you off your feet
Am7 D G Am7 D G
And you’ll live in a palace so fine
[Verse 3]
She met a boy and he seemed so right
Am7 D G
With his stripes and his blue cockade
And they lay down on a pallet of straw
Am7 D G
It seemed like a grand estate
[Verse 4]
She married the man to whom she was promised
Am7 D G
With heavy heart she went
With servants to carry and servants to fetch
Am7 D G
And no one to help her forget
[Chorus]
C G Am7
Through the long lonely nights I call your name
C G Am7
Sleeping and waking to me are just the same
C G C G
Everything I have I would gladly give
Am D
For thee, for thee
[Instrumental]
G C D G C D G C D G C D G
[Chorus]
C G Am7
Through the long lonely nights I call your name
C G Am7
Sleeping and waking to me are just the same
C G C G
Everything I have I would gladly give
Am D
For thee, for thee
[Verse 5]
G
Blue and gold, young and old
Am7 D G
Beautiful or plain
The fortunes of war are a broken heart
Am7 D G
On a golden chain
[Verse 6]
Pity the woman who marries for love
Am7 D G
Her heart will never be free
And pity the woman who marries for land
Am7 D G
For she’ll unhappy be
[Chorus]
C G Am7
Through the long lonely nights I call your name
C G Am7
Sleeping and waking to me are just the same
C G C G
Everything I have I would gladly give
Am D
For thee, for thee
[Outro]
G Am7 D G
Ah, dai, dai dai, dai dai, dai dai, dai dai, dai dai, dai dai
