The Old Garden Gate
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Em D Em D Em D Em D
[Verse]
Em D
As I walked out one May morning
Em
So early in the spring
C D Em D
I placed my back against the old garden gate
C D Am
For to hear my true love sing
[Verse]
Em D
“Come now my love and sit down by me
Em
Where the leaves are springing green
C D Em D
For it's now very near three-quarters of a year
C D Am
Since you and I together have been”
[Verse]
Em D
“I will not come and sit down by you
Em
Nor yet no other man
C D Em D
For you have been courting some other young girl
C D Am
And your heart it is no longer mine”
[Verse]
Em D
There is a flower I've heard them say
Em
I wish I could that flower find
C D Em D
It's called Heartsease by night and day
C D Am
Would it ease my troubled mind?
[Verse]
Em D
I cast my anchor into the sea
Em
And it sank down into the sand
C D E D
So did my heart all in my body
C D Am
When I took my false love all by the hand
[Verse]
Em D
Oh, I'll never believe a man anymore
Em
Be his hair white, yellow or brown
C D Em D
Unless he was high on the gallows tree
C D Am
And swearing that he wanted to come down
[Verse]
Em D
So girls, beware of a false lover true
Em
Never mind what a young man might say
C D Em D
He's like a star on a foggy, foggy morning
C D Am Em
You think he's near, he's far, far away
