Traditional Irish – Blow The Candles Out chords

Chords:
Transpose:
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm GmWhen I was apprenticed in London, I went to see my dear
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm GmThe candles all were burning, the moon shone bright and clear
A# D I knocked upon her window to ease her out of her pain
Gm Dm Gm A# D GmShe rose up to let me in, then barred the door again
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm GmI like well your behavior and this I often say
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm GmI cannot rest contented when I am far away
A# DThe roads they are so muddy, we cannot walk about
Gm Dm Gm A# D GmSo roll me in your arms, Love, and blow the candles out
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm GmYour father and your mother in yonder room do lie
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm GmA-hugging one another, so why not you and I?
A# DA-hugging one another, without a fear or doubt
Gm Dm Gm A# D GmSo roll me in your arms, Love, and blow the candles out
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm GmI pray thee speak more softly of what we have to do
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm GmLest that our noise of talking should make our pleasure rue
A# DThe streets they are so nigh, Love, the people walk about
Gm Dm Gm A# D GmThey may peep in and spy, Love, so blow the candles out
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm GmAnd if we prove successful, Love, please name it after me
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm GmTreat it neat and kiss it sweet and daft it on your knee
A# DWhen my three years are over, my time it will be out
Gm Dm Gm A# D GmAnd I will pay my debt to you by blowing the candles out.
