Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]Mai[A]d, [D]truly I s[A]ee now[D] it[C]
must [G]be a long way [D]down
And with love's [F#]bud [G]shorn
[A]Now must [E]all dalliance hither
[G]crumble and wither
Oh [D]strange, methought it strange
[C]Thou couldst de[G]prive me
of my [D]crown
And my [F#]freedom [F#m]that[G]
thou cast [E]upon me as
[Em]Litter [G]bears fruit of bitter strain
[D]

[Verse 2]
And I [A]would go forsooth
to the [B]dragon's tooth
If [E]thus a chance were [G]gained
To resur[A]rect that part
of your [B]wanton heart
To whose [E]grave my own is [G]chained

[Verse 3]
[D]And hold, [A]ere thou dost [D]go
[C]Were not thy momen[G]ts gilded too[D]
And in hon[F#]esty [G]didst
[A]thou not [E]measure for measure
[G]Countenance pleasure
[D]Cold [A]were't thou so [D]cold
[C]This in [G]thy mind be frozen [D]too

[Verse 4]
And will [D]not Spring [F#m]be reborn
[G]But might the sun[E] thaw the frost here
That [G]all be not lost herein
[D]

[Verse 5]
And I [A]would rather, zounds
It [B]were hell's own hounds
Whose [E]foul breath upon my [G]face
Did [A]portent my doom,
than to [B]bear the gloom
Of [E]a world stripped of thy [G]grace
[D]And

[Verse 6]
[A]so [D]in truth I know
[C]Yes it [G]will be a long way dow[D]n
And if go [F#]thou [F#m]must,
[G]ere we should mee[E]t accidental[Em]
[G]Prithee be gentle
[D]And though distant now
[C]Perchance [G]the hand of time
may [D]soothe
And though lost [F#]at s[G]ix,
if I should [E]live to be seven
[G]I might forget Stephanie

[Outro 1]
