[Verse 1]
And [Am]aphidil [B]is born
an[D]d rises [C]in the [Am]spring,
It opens [B]out it[Em]s beauty
to [C]hear the crickets [B]sing.
[C]But as quick as it [F]does grow,
[C]it de[F]cays away [C]so [Em]soon,
Before the [C]summer [Em]sun shine
[E]has [Em]reached [C]its golden noon.
Before the summer sunshine
has reached its golden [G]noon
[Am]A stream it does[G] rise in
[C]the mountains so [B]tall
It [Em]swells [Am]into a [Em]river
[E]as [Em]gently [C]it does [Am]fall
It [F]meanders [C]thro' [F]valley,
[D]thro' [C]city,
[Em]and thro' town,
[Am]An d in the boundless oc[Em]ean
[E]this [C]reverend [B]is drowned.
[C]Ay, in the[G] boundless oce[C]an
this reverend is [Am]drowned.
[E]On [Em]the sea the [C]winds do [G]rage,
[C]An d the waves grow so high,
[A]White [B]around their [Em]sur face,
As [C]they reach up to the [Am]sky.
But [F]soon [C]the waves [F]grow gentle,
[D]No [Em]longer do [C]they roar,
[Em]As t[E]hey make their
[C]lonesome [Em]pas sageway
[E]up [C]to the Pemble shore.
As they make their lonesome passageway
Up [Em]to the Pemble [G]shore.[Am]
If [Am]I were li[C]ke a d[G]affo[Em]dil
[E]So fair [C]upon [B]the ground,[C]
[Am]Or like [C]a winding [E]river
[D]With [E]its sweet [C]and mel[G]low sound,
[Am]Like a wav[C]e up to th[F]e shore,
[D]Like [C]a river [F]into [C]the [Em]sea,
[Am]I'd lay down in [C]my resting [Em]-place,
[E]Contented [C]there I'd be.
I'd lay down in [C]my resting -place,
And con[Em]tented [C]I wouldn't be.
