Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]The wind doth [C]blow
[D]today my [C]love
A few [G]small drops of [D]rain
[G]Never have I had
but one true [C]love
[G]In cold clay she[D] is lai[G]d

[Verse 2]
I'll [G]do as [C]much
for [D]my true [C]love
As [G]any young man [D]may
I'll [G]sit and mourn
all on her [C]grave
[G]At twelve months and a d[D]ay
[G]

[Verse 3]
The twelve [D]months [C]and the
[D]day being [C]gone
A voice [G]spoke from the [D]deep
Who [G]is it sits
all on my [C]grave
[G]And will not [D]let me sleep
[G]

[Verse 4]
'Tis I, 'tis [C]I,
Thine [D]own true [C]love
Who sit[G]s upon your g[D]rave
For I [G]crave one kiss
from your sweet [C]lips
[G]And that is all[D] I seek
[G]

[Verse 5]
You crave one [C]kiss
from [D]my clay cold lips
[C]But my breath is [G]earthy str[D]ong
[G]Had you one kiss
from my clay cold [C]lips
[G]Your time would not[D] be lon[G]g

[Verse 6]
My [G]time be [C]long,
my [D]time be [C]short
Tomor[G]row or [D]today
May [G]God in heaven
have all my [C]soul
[G]But I'll kiss your [D]lips of [G]clay

[Verse 7]
See [G]down in [C]yonder [D]gar[G]den gre[D]en
[C]Love where we [G]used to [D]walk
[G]The sweetest flower
that ever [C]grew
[G]Is withered to [D]the stalk
[G]

[Verse 8]
The stalk is [C]withered [D]dry my [C]love
So will [G]our hearts de[D]cay
So [G]make yourself
content my [C]love
[G]Till death calls you[D] away
