Take the [D]robe

[Verse 1]
[D]
from off thy [Asus4]form,[Am]
And [Em]cease thine [G]hair to [D]braid,
[G]Thy love [D]to thee will [Em]come no more,
He [D]woos an[G]other [D]maid,
And [Esus4]broken ar[Em]e the[D] man[Em]y vo[F#m]ws,[G]
That [D]he hath pledged [A]to thee,
He [Bm]woos [D]another [G]maid, and [A]this,
My [Asus4]bridal mo[G]rn should be.[D][G]
False to [D]me oh

[Verse 2]
say not [A]so,
For [Em]if thy t[G]ale be[D] true,
And the [G]one that I [D]love [Em]be lost to[D] me,

[D]And if [G]he do tak[D]e an [Em]other[D] mate,[G]
Be[D]fore the holy [A]shrine,[Asus4]
An[Bm]other [D]ne'er [G]shall have my [A]heart,
Death [Em]will be a [G]friend of mine.

[G]She [Gsus2]takes the rob[D]es from off her form,
And [G]dons a snow [D]white [A]gown,[D]
[G]She [Gsus2]loosene d[G] from[D]
[Gsus2]her locks[G] the b[D]raid,
[Bm]And let [Gsus2]her hair h[G]ang [Gsus2]down,[D]
[Asus4]
[D]She flu[G]ng aro[D]und her[A] lov[Bm]ely hea[G]d,

And [Bm]cheek [G]of moon [D]ray[A] pale.

[Verse 4]
[G]With hurried [D]yet, with careful [A]steps,
[G]Into the church she [D]hides,[A]
[G]And there [D]she saw the [G]false [A]of heart,
Re[Bm]ceive anoth[G]er [D]bride,[A]
The [G]bridal [D]pageant [A]swe[Bm]pt alo[G]ng,
'Til [D]all the train had [A]fled,
Why [Bm]stands [A]the lone [G]deserted [A]one,
She [G]slum[Bm]bers [G]with the [D]dead[Bm]
