[Verse 1]
Am G
The wind doth blow,
C D
today my love.
Am G C/G
A few small drops of rain.
Am G
Never have had
C D
but one true love;
Em C D
In cold clay she is laid.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Am G
I'll do as much
C D
for my true love,
Am G C
As any young man may.
Am G
I'll sit and mourn,
C D
all on her grave.
Em C D
At twelve months and a day.
Em C D
The twelve months and the day being gone.
Em C D
A voice spoke from the deep:
Em C
Who is it sits,
D
all on my grave.
Em C D
And will not let me sleep.
Am G
'Tis I, 'tis I,
C D
Thine own true love,
Am G C/G
Who sits upon your grave.
Am G
For I crave one kiss
C D
from your sweet lips.
Em C D
And that is all I seek.

[Verse 3]
Am G
You crave one kiss
C D
from my clay cold lips.
Am G C/G
But my breath is earthy strong.
Am G
Had you one kiss
C D
from my clay cold lips:
Em C D
Your time would not be long.
Am G
My time be long,
C D
my time be short:
Am G C/G
Tomorrow or today.
Am G
May God in heaven
C D
have all my soul.
Em C D
But I'll kiss your lips of clay.

[Verse 4]
Am G C D
Down in yonder garden green.
Am G C/G
Where we used to walk.
Am G
The sweetest flower
C D
that ever grew
Em C D
Is withered to the stalk.
Am G C D
The stalk is withered dry my love.
Am G C/G
So will our hearts decay.
Am G
Make yourself
C D
content my love.
Em C D
Till death calls you away.
