[Verse 1]
[G]Pretty fai[D]r miss d[G]own in [Gm]the garden
When a brave [G]young soldier
come [D]riding by
And he stepped [G]up and
as he addressed her
Said, [D]pretty fair [G]mis[D]s,
won't you be my [Gm]bride?[G]
[Gm]O no[G] kind sir, replied the maiden,
Though a man of honour you [D]may be,
How can you im[G]pose on
a fair young maiden
Who never intend[D]s your
bride to [G]be?[Gm]
For [G]I've a true love for the ocean,
Yes, [D]seven years [G]across the[D] sea,
And if he [G]stays for seven years longer,
No man on earth [D]can marry [G]me.
Well, [D]perhaps he's
drowned [G]in the ocean
Or he may be on [D]a battlefield slain
Or he may [G]be to a pretty girl married
And you may never [D]see him [Gm]again[G]
[Gm]Well, if he's drow[G]ned,
I hope he's restin'
Or if he's on a battlefield [D]slain
Or if he's [G]to some pretty girl married
I'll love the one [D]that married [G]him[Gm]
[G]Then he ran his [Gm]hand [G]down [Gm]in his pocket,
[G]his fingers being both lon[D]g and slim,
and he drew [G]forth a ring she'd given,
a ring that she [D]had given [G]him.
[Gm]She [D]threw her [G]lovin'
at alarms around him
And straight before him she [D]did fall
Said you're the [G]very man
that used [D]to court me
[G]Before you went [D]away to [G]war[Gm][G]
And they walked down that
path together,
His arm around her [D]waist so trim,
And he told [G]her a beautiful story,
And then she [D]gave her heart
to [Gm]him.[G][Gm]
