[Verse 1]
[D]As I roved [C]out one [G]evening
[A]By the [D]verdant braes of [G]Scream
I [D]set my [A]back to [D]a thorn tree
[A]To vie[D]w the sun[C] in the Wes[G]t Country
[A]The dew on the forest [D]green
A lad I [C]spied by [G]our barnside
[A]And a mai[D]den by his kne[G]e
And [D]he was [A]dark as the [D]berry -brown [A]red,
And [D]she all [C]whey and [G]warm to [A]see,
All whey and warm was [D]she.
Oh, sit ye [C]down on [G]the grass, [A]he said,
Togeth[D]er on the green,
[G]For the wee[D] bir[A]ds have
all [D]come and gone
[A]Since I'v[D]e my tru[C]e lov[G]e seen
[A]Since I've my true lov[D]e see[C]n[G][A]
[D][G][D][A][D][A][D][C][G][A][D]
Oh, I'll not [C]sit by [G]you, [A]she said,
Nor [D]be a love of [G]thine
For I [D]hear you [A]love an[D]other girl
[A]And your hea[D]rt's no lon[C]ger min[G]e, she said
[A]Your heart's no longer min[D]e
And I'll not [C]eat what an [G]old man [A]says
For his [D]days are well nigh [G]done
And [D]I'll not [A]eat what a [D]young man [A]says
For he's [D]fair for [C]men,
he's the [G]one she said
[A]He's fair for men, he's the one
[D]But I will cli[C]mb a hig[G]h, high tree
[A]And rob[D] a wild bird's nes[G]t
And [D]back I'll [A]bring whatever [D]I do f[A]ind
To the [D]arms that [C]I love b[G]e st, she s[A]aid
To the arms I love the [D]best
