The Leaves Of Life Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]For [C]unde[Em]r the
leaves and the leaves of life
Are met with virgins seven
And one of [D]them was [Em]Mary, my
[Bm]Our Lord[C]'s best [Em]moth[D]er
in [Am]heaven[C][Em]
Oh, what are you seeking,
you seven pretty maids,
Under the leaves of life?
We are seeking [D]for no [Em]leaves,
[B]Thomas,[Bm]
But [Em]for [Am]a fri[D]end of thi[Am]ne.
Go [Em]down, go down into yonder town
And sit in the gallery
And there you'll [D]see sweet
[Em]Jesus [Bm]Christ
Nailed [Em]to a [Am]big [D]yew tree[Am]
So [Em]down they went into yonder town,
As fast as foot could fall,
The many of the [D]bitter and
the [Em]grievous [Bm]tear,
From them virgin[Am]s' eyes
did [Em]fall.[D][Em][B][Bm][Em]
O peace, Mother,
O peace, Mother,
Your weeping does me grieve
I will [D]suffer [Bm]this [Em]season
[Bm]For [Em]Adam a[D]nd for E[Am]ve
[Em]How can I, my weeping leave,
my sorrows undergo,
when I see my [D]own true [Em]son to [Bm]die,
and sons [Am]I have no[Bm] more[Em][Am]
He [Em]laid his hand on his right shoulder
And death has struck him nigh
The Holy [D]Ghost be [Em]with your [Bm]soul
Sweet [Em]Mother, [D]now I [Am]die
[Em]Oh, the rose, the [D]gentle r[Em]ose,
the fennel that grows so [D]strong[Em]
Amen, dear [D]Lord, [Em]your char[D]ity
[Bm]Is t[C]he ending of my[Bm]
[Am]song[C]
