[Verse 1]
Traditional [G]As
I [D]walked [G]out on a
[C]midsummer's [D]morning
For to view the [G]fields and to [C]take [D]the air
Down by the [G]banks of
[C]the sweet [D]primroses
There I be[G]held a most [C]love [D]lie fair.
[G]

[Verse 2]
Three short steps, I [C]stepped up [D]to her
Not knowing [G]her as she [C]passed me [D]by
I stepped up [G]to her,
think[C]ing for to [D]view her
She appeared to [G]be like
some [C]virtu[D]ous [G]bride.

[Verse 3]
I [G]says: [D]'Fair [G]maid,
where [C]are [D]you going?'
'And what's the [G]oc casion
of [C]all [D]your brief?'
'I will make you as [G]happy as [C]any [D]lady'
'If you will [G]grant to me one [C]small[D][G][C][D]
[G][C][D][G][C][D]
[G]rel[C]ief[D]'.[G]

[Verse 4]
'Stand [G]off, [D]stand [G]off,
you're [C]a false [D]deceiver'
'You are a [G]false deceitful [C]man,
[D]I know'
Tis you that has [G]caused my poor
[C]heart [D]to wander'
'And in your [G]comfort lies
[C]no [D]ref[G]rain'.

[Verse 5]
[G]So I'll [D]go [G]down to some
[C]lonesome [D]valley
Where no man on [G]earth
shall [D]there me find
Where the pretty little [G]small birds
do [C]change their [D]voices
And every [G]moment blows
[C]bluster[D]ous [G]wind.[D]

[Verse 6]
[G]So come all you[D]ng men[G] who go [C]a- [D]sailing
Pray pay at[G]tention to [C]what I [D]say
For there's many a [G]dark
and a [C]cloudy [D]morning
Turns out to [G]be a sun[C]shiny [D]day[G].
